About
Lizz Cowley (she.her), Yoga Student & Teacher
As a teen I came to meditation and mindfulness practices seeking relief from anxiety and severe depression. The practices changed me, and probably saved my life. In the early 2000s I found my way to the Omaha Yoga School to study Classical Yoga and Asana. Margaret Hahn and Meredith Busher were my first yoga teachers, and I remain forever grateful for their instruction - these lovely humans taught me to come home to myself.
I earned my teacher's certification in 2009 from the Shoshoni Yoga Retreat. Living at the ashram helped me appreciate yoga in a different way; one that is sourced in the heart-mind, transcendent of the body, and accessible through the rhythms and rituals of daily life.
I'm a lifelong student and enjoy offering what I've learned; teaching comes from my heart and I hope that what we find together during practice sweetens the world in which we live. I've studied with Charlotte Bell, Judith Hanson Lasater, Leslie Howard, and Gen Kelsang Rinzin of the Heruka Buddihist Center. My work is influenced by the Iyengar tradition, Donna Farhi, Bernie Clark, Leslie Kaminoff, and Seane Corn, among others. My favorite styles of asana to teach include Hatha, Restorative, and Yin Yoga.
I love lavender infused chocolate, spending time with my wonderful daughter, and the scent and sounds of the mountains.
