Liz Iacuzzi is our resident yoga teacher. As a former gymnast with an active yoga practice for over seven years, it wasn’t until Liz went to Rishikesh, India with Candace Silvers Studios that she was called to teach. Through Candace, Liz met yogi master, Anand Mehrotra. Much of the yoga she had practiced up until this point focused mostly on the physical body. It was, as she has come to learn, yoga once removed, removed from the root of what yoga truly is all about. Anand showed her the true essence of yoga, and she was immediately inspired to share this with folks back in America. Under his tutelage, Liz studied this inspiring approach to yoga known as, Sattva Yoga. Sattva meaning “heart.” Liz has been a student of Candace Silvers for three and half years, and in that time she has traveled to India three times with the Studio. Yoga has affected and infected her life and her body in a way that nothing else ever has. It is breath. It is love. It is compassion. It is movement. It is strength. It is acceptance. It is an opportunity to see that the mind and the being are separate. It is a place where suffering and fear have no landing point. It is learning the body from the inside out, and healing the body, mind and spirit from the inside out. Yoga is…well, it just is. Liz is also a certified Hatha teacher.
