Annie Runkle

Annie Runkle

Yoga Teacher

I came to yoga in my late 30’s in 2000 for physical reasons. I continued on and started teaching for the deeper effects. This stuff is magic. It’s soul salve. It’s the balm that finally calmed my Beast. I completed my 200 hour TT with Jennifer Elliott and Sandra Pleasants in 2005. I completed a 300 Hour Yoga Therapy Training with Inner Peace Yoga Therapy in 2011. I am a 500 RYT and CT. Along the way I have taken many workshops with many shiny souls. My classes are creative, playful and inclusive. If you are breathing intentionally and moving mindfully with amazement all will be well! Oh, and there is music too.
Liz Reynolds

Liz Reynolds

Yoga Teacher

 
With a background in professional dance, Liz has been teaching movement for 25 years, and yoga since 2011. Her first yoga classes were Baptiste Power Yoga inspired, but since then, her Vinyasa style has evolved into an amalgamation of everything she has learned about yoga, Ayurveda, biomechanics, the nervous system and the art of being human. Her classes are light-hearted, challenging and fully committed to connecting students to present moment awareness, which she believes comes from noticing our physical structure, starting with the bones. Liz dedicates her classes to staying present with her students and encourages mindful movement, self-love and self-care above all else. She is honored and excited to become a part of the NOW teaching staff.
