About me
Liz Campbell | E-RYT 500 Certified
Hi, I’m Liz — a yoga and breathwork teacher who helps people reconnect with their energy, their breath, and the deeper intelligence of the body. Since 2012, I’ve guided students toward a more grounded and intentional way of living through practices that build strength, regulate energy, and restore balance from the inside out.
I work with individuals, groups, and corporate teams who want to feel more focused, energized, and balanced throughout the day. My classes help reduce stress, sharpen concentration, and cultivate an inner tranquility that supports both productivity and deep rest. I love creating experiences that are grounded, sustainable, and easy to integrate into daily life, whether in the studio, the workplace, or one-on-one.
Over the years I’ve taught in studios across Southern California, co-led retreats and teacher trainings, and designed specialized workshops centered on philosophy, nervous-system regulation and mindful self-awareness. My background includes 200- and 300-hour certifications, advanced training in Bali and Kauaʻi, and studies in pranayama, Sanskrit, and trauma-informed coaching.
I’m passionate about helping others understand their own energy, how to regulate it, protect it, and channel it with purpose. I teach practices that support real-life challenges like softening reactivity, dissolving people-pleasing patterns, rebuilding self-trust, and learning how to feel strong and safe in your own body again, especially for trauma survivors.
Outside of teaching, I’m a creative at heart. I love art projects, cooking nourishing meals, and finding simple ways to make my home feel peaceful and inspiring. I’m also passionate about holistic health, especially hydration, and I enjoy helping people integrate cleaner, high-quality water and daily wellness practices into their routines.
My intention is to offer teachings that are simple, grounded, and genuinely supportive — tools you can return to when life feels overwhelming and reminders that you already hold what you need to come back to balance.
My specialties
Prānāyāma
Cleansing • Tranquil • Balancing
Pranayama enhances mental clarity, reduces stress, and improves respiratory function. These are just a few of the positive effects that pranayama has to offer, and they are noticeable within minutes. I love watching how quickly the energy shifts in my students when we practice Pranayama, I think it’s something everyone would greatly benefit from.
Vinyasa Flow
Energizing • Dynamic • Active
Vinyasa was my first love on my yoga path, and it’s still one of my favorite classes to teach and practice. What I enjoy most about vinyasa is its variations of postures, how they harmoniously flow together, and how good it feels to move dynamically and mindfully.
Restorative Yoga
Grounding • Relaxing • Passive
Restorative yoga is a wonderful compliment to life as it focuses on deep relaxation, making it very accessible for anybody. It is one of my favorite yoga practices because it creates more mental and physical spaciousness, calms the nervous system, and enhances overall well-being.
Finding my purpose through teaching yoga
Within the first decade of my career, life presented many unexpected opportunities, from leading retreats and facilitating classes in some of the most beautiful places in the world to co-founding the yoga studio I once dreamed of.
But after working with thousands of students, I’ve found the most meaningful part of my work is supporting people in feeling healthier, more grounded, and more connected to themselves. Watching someone grow stronger, calmer, and more at peace through this practice will always be what fulfills me most.
Yoga may have started as a personal obsession in my early twenties to feel better in my body, build confidence, and find inner peace, but once I began teaching, that passion naturally evolved into helping others experience the same transformation in their own lives.
My yoga teacher training and first teaching gig
Just a few years after beginning my yoga practice, I completed my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training at the White Lotus Foundation in Santa Barbara. Shortly afterward, I got my first real teaching gig at Ritual Yoga Arts in Laguna Beach, which is where I spent nearly six years teaching, managing, and continuing my yoga education through avenues that intrigued me.
During my time at Ritual, I also achieved my 500-hour certification in Bali, studied Devanagari Sanskrit on the island of Kauai, became certified to teach Aerial Yoga in Hollywood, and continued refining myself as the teacher that my inner being recognizes – this, as I’ve learned, is a never-ending process.
How I discovered yoga
Yoga came into my life when I was nineteen and working at an iconic vegan restaurant in Laguna Beach, California. I was at the time obsessed with seeking out a healthier lifestyle, more self-confidence, as well as greater happiness in life, and a coworker happened to invite me to my very first yoga class.
As much as I actually disliked my introductory yoga class, it ignited an unforeseen passion that led me to explore various styles of yoga before finding my true calling in vinyasa. The creative flows, profound physical and mental benefits, and harmony of movement spoke to my soul on a new and exciting level. This discovery helped me not only create a healthier relationship with myself, it also motivated me to become a yoga teacher.
