Settle Into Stillness

We’re excited to announe that our friend and long time collaborator, Elizabeth McNeil of KARMA Yoga (Elizabethtown, KY) will be joining our facilitation team for Spirit of Atitlán, our next yoga, sound, and wellness retreat in Guatemala. She will be teaching yoga accompanied by our music (in addition to Jane Bloom from Dwell Yoga - Las Cruces, NM). We’re blessed to be joined by these two highly experienced teachers who are pillars of their local yoga communities.

About Elizabeth:

Elizabeth's yoga journey began in Memphis, TN, where she first discovered the transformative power of the practice. After relocating to Elizabethtown, KY, she deepened her studies under Cheryl Bennett, who introduced her to Yoga East in Louisville — a pivotal connection that led her to her beloved teacher, Laura Spaulding, and the disciplined art of Ashtanga Yoga.

Driven by a deep commitment to growth, Elizabeth has traveled extensively to study with world-renowned master teachers including David Swenson, Tias Little, Richard Freeman, François Raoult, and Doug Keller — completing both her RYT-200 and RYT-500 certifications along the way.

For over two decades, Elizabeth has shared her passion for yoga with children, adults, and seniors throughout Elizabethtown. Her teaching philosophy is rooted in meeting each student exactly where they are — blending the wisdom of multiple yoga traditions to create classes that are safe, creative, and joyful.

What truly sets Elizabeth apart is her background as a licensed Physical Therapist Assistant, a credential that deepens her ability to guide students toward mindful, alignment-based practice — helping every body move with greater ease, confidence, and awareness.

Whether you're stepping onto the mat for the first time or returning to deepen your practice, Elizabeth's classes offer a welcoming space to explore, heal, and thrive.
