ELIZABETH (NIX) SMITH

For Elizabeth Smith (formerly Nix) yoga is her passion and a blueprint for living, and she loves nothing more than sharing this with others. She has studied many different forms of yoga, and respects each and every tradition, but for her the practice of Yoga transcends any one style. More than anything else, it is a way of connecting with Spirit and cultivating the most life-affirming qualities of compassion, balance and trust. In her classes, which are infused with joy and deep insight, expect the dance of vinyasa flow, the focus of held posture, and the stillness and sweet surrender of shavasana. Elizabeth offers her gratitude to those who have guided her and walked with her on this path, who have all graced her with the wisdom of this practice. A special thanks to her very first teacher, Graham Fowler, who she continues to learn from and with. Also, blessings for both Erich Schiffmann and Rodney Yee, who have deeply influenced both her practice and her teaching.
