Liv has been practising yoga at Yoga Sanctuary for over 12 years, having followed in the footsteps of her mum who also practised there from the early days of the studio. Liv was inspired to pursue her 200 hr RYT training after seeing the benefits of yoga in her own life, from both a mental and physical perspective – it led her to want to learn and know more, and to help others realise these benefits.

She completed her RYT200 training across hatha, vinyasa and yin under the mentorship of Kylie Rook and Sandey Hoskin at Inspire, and likes to incorporate a mix of all three styles in her teaching where possible. Vinyasa krama – the art of intelligent sequencing – is incredibly important to Liv, leading her to create classes that start slowly, build on strength, flexibility and alignment and allow students to explore their limits.

ABOUT LIV

Off the mat, Liv has a busy home and work life – she heads up marketing and operations for a local kiwi business, and dotes on her two cats and husband. She also does weekly marketing contracting and volunteer work on the side, so there’s never too much time to chill!

Liv and her hubby’s love for travel has taken them to many beautiful spots around the world, Sri Lanka being their favourite (and the destination of their wedding). Alongside daily yoga practice, Liv loves to get active – doing strength training, HIIT, pilates and more when she can. She believes that mindful movement is the key to great mental health.
