While effective for all yoga students, it is especially effective for the mature student who may have special needs or specific body issues.
She also teaches a flowing style of yoga that is more athletically rigorous for those students seeking a faster pace and greater physical challenge. Rebecca’s primary teachers are Betty Larsen and John Charping.

Liz Campbell
Nationally Certified Yoga Instructor, Ayurvedic Counselor
Liz Campbell began her yoga journey as an Anusara student in 2001. She graduated from the Ayurvedic Institute in June 2009, where she completed Yoga Teacher Training, registering with Yoga Alliance at the 200 hour level.

The combination of yoga study and a nursing career gives Liz a unique approach to the practice and study of yoga and Ayurveda as pathways to better health. Liz is a member of the Holistic Nursing Association and a member of the Association of Ayurvedic Professionals of North America.
In addition to teaching yoga, Liz offers lifestyle counseling using her nursing background to combine Ayurvedic recommendations with western medical science. Liz combines complementary aspects of these approaches to promote optimum health and wellness. Consults start at $100 for two one hour sessions and are $50 and an hour for follow-up visits. Private yoga sessions are also available.
Liz's philosophy and teaching method:
"When I take students into a yoga session, I combine an understanding of yoga, Ayurveda, and nursing practice to facilitate healing. I first bring students to a place of quiet and oneness so they are centered for the practice. We move through meditation, asana and pranayama in slow, mindful, subtle and powerful ways, moving into what Ayurveda calls Rasa Dhatu. I take the class through techniques to ground Vata elements, and then work the breath to flow prana, releasing unhealthy holding patterns and reestablishing healthy neurological pathways. At the end of class, I focus attention on how we are feeling after practice, and give suggestions on how to carry this off the mat, and into life."

Bailey's class is all about getting out of
our heads and into our bodies to celebrate the moment with music and
movement, put energy into motion to understand beyond words. Inspired
by the work of Gabrielle Roth and many others, this class is designed
to liberate the body’s wisdom and intelligence, give our busy, busy
minds a break, and wake up the connection between body and spirit.
It’ll be fun, silly, serious, and sense-sational. It's a wonderful
counterpoint to and inspiration for our developing yoga practice!
