Liz Lark

Yoga Teacher Trainer

Liz Lark has been teaching yoga for 25 years. Liz guest teaches on the Shala School of Yoga 200-hour Teacher Training Programme in addition to running her own retreats and workshops. She has been a Board Member of Yogacampus since its inception in 2003, where she teaches on their trainings and shares sequencing, adjustments and teaching skills. Liz brings together Nature, Travel & Art with her inner travels to share Yoga through creative sequencing, somatic practises, visualisation, meditation & relaxations. Tending the Self is a major theme in Liz ’s practice, inspired by Pema Chodrun’s quote: “the root of compassion is compassion for oneself’.

Great inspiration and drive carried Liz through the Astanga Vinyasa system (1990’s), training in Astanga vinyasa under Derek Ireland. She then diversified into other Hatha Yoga practices to broaden her learning through the British Wheel of Yoga.

The Life Centre Notting Hill has been an anchor for her teaching since 1995 and in early 2000 she joined Gingi Lee at the Shala (then know as the Sangam). Since 1998 she has written 8 books (see ‘1001 Pearls of Yoga Wisdom’ Watkins), her own self publications and most recently the Sequencing Chapter in ‘Yoga Teachers Manual’ (Jessica Kingsley 2018).

Liz and Gingi met 30 years ago in Crete when they were both practicing and studying ashtanga with Derek Ireland and they have had a long history of collaborating together since those early days.

testimonials

"In my opinion, Liz's teaching is both innovative and imaginative. While not all of us might necessarily incorporate it into our teaching, I find her extensive knowledge and interdisciplinary approach to be truly inspiring. Her teaching methods have the ability to engage even the most sceptical participants and help them unblock mentally."

Liz illuminated the creative elements of yoga through poetry, song, colour. I loved the art work, oils and exploration of the systems of nature in relation to yoga through sacred geometry, language, sound and learning styles. Absolutely loved the day we explored the theory of multiple intelligences. Liz tapped in to our understanding of our own innate gifts and our unique way of interpreting the world so that we may begin to define our style and also appreciate how the learners in our space receive information and interpret yoga. Liz really connected us to ourselves, cosmic energy all whilst imparting solid, clear, teaching skills and her big message of communication, how to communicate on many levels with your students.
