Lydia Lizano (RYT 500) began her exploration with yoga over seven years ago and completed her 200 hour teacher training at the Om Joyful School of Yoga in November 2013 and her 300 hour teacher training on July 2017. Since she took her first class, she instantly developed a "sincere" relationship with her practice incorporating it into everyday life at home and in her profession as a Licensed Marriage Therapist and Licensed Family Therapist. She continues to pursue education in yoga psychology and believes that total health comes from making that mind/body connection a priority in one's life. This ongoing process of learning is what provides the fresh insights that inspire her teaching. Healthy breathing, alignment, and balanced energy flow are consistent points of focus in her classes. Lydia’s teaching style is intuitive and nourishes the hidden strengths of her students while challenging them to reach beyond their perceived limitations. In her classes, she uses a mixture of yoga styles and breath work allowing her students to find Peace, Love, and Compassion as they grow both on and off the mat with the ultimate goal of living to their fullest potential.
