Meet Liza
Hi, my name is Liza Fletcher…
I am a certified 200-hour and certified 200-hour trauma-informed yoga teacher, driven by a passion for creating inclusive spaces where healing can unfold. Having experienced trauma firsthand, I’ve discovered how the practices of movement, meditation, and breathwork cultivates a deeper connection between mind, body, and spirit. This journey has brought profound relief and inner balance, and it’s my mission to share these practices with others on similar paths.
I am committed to creating safe, supportive spaces where individuals can explore movement and breathe at their own pace. My approach blends mindfulness and compassion, meeting students exactly where they are. Whether working with those currently navigating trauma or those processing past experiences, I aim to offer yoga as a tool for personal transformation, emotional well-being, and empowerment. Yoga, for me, is more than just physical– it’s a journey toward inner harmony, and I’m honored to guide others as they discover their own relief and resilience.
A little more about my story…
My yoga practice began as both a physical and spiritual journey, but it deepened when I discovered the trauma-sensitive approach during my own healing process. Struggling with mental health for most of my life, I often lived in states of fight, flight, or freeze. Among various healing methods, I found that embodiment practices like yoga asana were most effective in helping me feel grounded. Yoga shifted my focus to my body and breath, offering a path to regulation and safety.
For me, yoga is not about flexibility or advanced poses, but about finding inner safety, balance, and peace. Through embodiment practices, I’ve shed layers that no longer serve me, discovering strength and wholeness from within. I’m passionate about sharing this approach with those who are experiencing or have experienced trauma. Trauma-informed yoga aims to make the practice more inclusive and accessible, meeting people where they are without trying to "fix" anything. Offering trauma-informed yoga to underserved communities is crucial because true yoga, or union, cannot exist without social justice. Everyone deserves access to these healing tools.
