Elizabeth Matchefts
Elizabeth describes herself as a lifelong student first and a teacher second. Her journey with yoga began at a young age through Wai Lana Yoga on PBS, planting seeds that would grow over time. Returning to yoga at various points in her life, she found her way to a consistent yoga practice in 2021 after a vacation in Hawaii, where she experienced peace in morning practices on the beach. This experience reignited her passion for yoga and its ability to foster inner wisdom, growth, and community – Elizabeth’s leading values.
After the encouragement of a mentor, Elizabeth completed her 200-hour Yoga Alliance certification in 2023. Her time in teacher training fed her desire to continue learning and seeking knowledge and growth through her yoga practice. Currently enrolled in the 300-hour certification program at Indigo, her practice and her teaching continue to evolve with her, driven by curiosity and a desire for growth.
As a teacher, Elizabeth brings an open, methodical, and welcoming energy to her classes. She desires to share her personal practice with her students in a way that is both challenging and approachable.
Outside the studio, Elizabeth leads a multifaceted life as a full-time engineering business operations manager and a part-time student. A passionate reader, she’s often found at one of the local coffee shops with a book in hand or immersed in her studies. Elizabeth desires to bring the discipline, curiosity, and mindfulness she has gained through yoga to her daily life.
