Elizabeth Cramond

Upon arrival back to the states, Elizabeth and her mother began practicing together. A former competitive swimmer through the collegiate level, Elizabeth enjoyed the non-competitive aspect of her yoga practice, and found that it brought balance to her life.Her mother was also her inspiration for becoming a yoga teacher. Elizabeth is a graduate of the University of NC-Wilmington, with a double major in International Business and Spanish. She completed the 200- hour teacher training program at the Wilmington Yoga Center in 2007. She also served as an assistant in the 220- hour program in 2008. Since then Elizabeth has had opportunities to deepen her practice by studying with Shiva Rea, Krista and Brock Cahill, Kathryn Budig, Rodney Yee, Ana Forest, Richard Freeman, Baron Baptiste, Dharma Mittra, Seane Corne, Maty Ezraty, David Swenson and Tiffany Cruikshank. She has completed her 500 hour advanced training under the keen eye of Tiffany Cruikshank and a 300 hour Kundalini training with World Peace Yoga School in Rishikesh, India. Elizabeth believes in encouraging and inviting students to push past perceived limits and explore new, more powerful paths. Her yoga classes are based on Vinyasa yoga where the breath is synchronized with the movement. Attaining full body connectivity is paramount in Elizabeth's philosophy of teaching where the student is linking the breath, the movement and the mind for an overall sense of strength, energetic power and well-being. Elizabeth also serves as an ambassador for Manduka & bepresent. Elizabeth’s deepest passions are world travel and yoga, and is grateful to have taught classes, retreats , and 200 hour teacher trainings in Belize, Fiji and Nicaragua.
