About Liz + Liberation
Hi there,
My name is Liz Guardia- Liberatore. I have been practicing yoga for over 2 decades. My teachings are rooted in the timeless teachings of yoga and inspired by my heart teacher, Kevan Gale. I try to weave the sacred threads of tradition with a modern, relatable approach. Guided by the wisdom of my lineage, I aim to create a space where the ancient practices of yoga come alive in a way that speaks to the rhythm of contemporary life.
With a deep reverence for Sanskrit and the philosophy of yoga, I integrate elements such as prāṇāyāma (breath control), āsana (postures), and dhyāna (meditation) into every practice. I honor the ancient texts and teachings, drawing upon their wisdom while translating them into actionable insights for modern practitioners.
Inspired by Kevan Gale’s embodiment of yoga as both a spiritual and physical discipline, I strive to guide students toward a balance of sthira (stability) and sukha (ease). My classes blend the depth of traditional practices with relatable cues and modern understanding, ensuring that yoga becomes a living, breathing part of your everyday experience.
Through this union of ancient and contemporary, my hope is to guide you toward svādhyāya (self-study), inner peace, and a deeper connection to the universal- ultimately, MOKSHA which means Liberation. Liberation yoga school is inspired by all the teachers in my life, including my husband who gave me the surname Liberatore, which means one who liberates.
Whether you're stepping onto the mat for the first time or seeking to deepen your practice, my goal is to hold space for your unique journey while honoring the heart of yoga’s sacred traditions.
Testimonials:
It wasn't until I began practicing with Liz that I started to understand the true meaning of yoga. Liz embodies the practice, and her passion for teaching, dedication to the principles and poses, and authentic kindness towards all students is contagious. I continuously recommend Liz's classes and workshops to others because, for me, the instruction is at a different level than any other I have experienced. Practicing with Liz is a highlight from week to week because she has perfectly captured the balance of the mental and physical in her teaching, making each experience not only informative and inspiring, but fun!

Liz is a fantastic and inspiring yoga teacher.
Her classes are so different from others I’ve done in the past, which I've found quite repetitive. Each of her classes is unique – I never know what the class will involve, but I know that I will leave it stronger and happier. Liz's sequencing is unique and really well considered. Everything in her classes lead up to a ‘peak pose’ – a challenging pose, many of which I never would have thought I could pull off but Liz provides a safe space to practice.
I’m currently just over half way through Liz’s 8-week workshop where we not only do physical practice but also learn some of the theory behind yoga. Liz is clearly so passionate and learned about these subjects and I along with all of the other participants have found the workshop so inspiring and if you’re open to it, life changing.

I’d been practicing yoga for almost 20 years when I started taking Liz’s class. Through Liz’s unique style of yoga that combines a focus on your breath and intention with sweat and athleticism, I’ve taken my practice to another level. Her classes are both fun and challenging and I always leave feeling like my best self. I recommend taking a class with Liz to both the seasoned yogi and those who are just beginning, alike.”
