Liz founded Bermondsey Fayre Yoga in 2010 and for many years ran Bermondsey Fayre as a vibrant community arts boutique on Bermondsey Street with a yoga studio at the back. In 2014 Liz began leading regular Yoga & Meditation retreats and this has become very much a passion of Liz’s to host retreats. The retreats began as mixed retreats and some still are, though Liz also branched into running Women’s retreats to explore some themes specific to women. In 2020 the Bermondsey Fayre Yoga community moved online in response to the pandemic and the online classes have continued. This created a possibility for Liz to move to her beloved Devon in 2023 where she had been running retreats for 10 years. Liz now teaches in person in Devon, online and on retreats in Devon and Wales.

"In an age of constant acceleration nothing can be more exhilarating than going slow. In an age of constant distraction nothing is so luxurious as paying attention. In an age of constant movement nothing is so urgent as sitting still" Pico Iyer.
These classes vary from week to week. Liz brings a meditative quality into the classes to allow students space in their week for reflective practise together with the physical yoga asana - postures. Liz brings in her passion for the therapeutic aspects of yoga and her belief in allowing each student to find what is the practise that is right for their body on an individual day and trusting that this can change. Liz invites students to be inquisitive and to come with a beginners mind - open to discovering new qualities in each posture and new understandings of the body, mind and breath and the union of them all.
Monthly Restorative Yoga and Yoga Nidra Workshops
Sunday 6-8pm
Restorative Yoga promotes deep relaxation allowing the body's natural rhythms to restore themselves. It supports the para sympathetic nervous and allows for deep healing and rest. The sessions are completed with a long guided Yoga Nidra - Yogic Sleep - the place between sleeping and dreaming where deep healing occurs. It is said that half an hour of Yoga Nidra is equivalent to 4 hours of good quality sleep!
