About Elizabeth Rusnak
Hello! I am a Los Angeles-based yoga teacher who recently relocated to the east coast. Please keep reading to get my thoughts on teaching and the unique qualities of yoga. Yoga is not a one-size-fits-all practice. I use the one-on-one setting to tailor a session that matches my clients needs. I greatly encourage the intelligent use of props to enhance the effect of the practice. My clients are quite varied- office workers, martial arts students, seasoned yoga practitioners, body builders, chefs and so on. This is a testament to the effectiveness of yoga for anyone and everyone. The term "therapeutics" is overused these days, but what I will say is my goal with yoga is to lead students toward space in their body. Ultimately this often translates to a certain healing. Students come to me with varied circumstance, but a few common ones are: Lumbar/sacral pain Frozen shoulder/rotator cuff injuries Knee considerations including ligament/tendon tears and dislocation Hypermobility/a need for strength training Neck injuries, often stemming from past car accidents All the various circumstances brought upon by extended hours sitting in front of a computer. I love teaching, and I love helping people discover that they can play a role in their own healing. If you have specific area of focus, or simply want to deepen your practice, please reach out!
Reviews
Elizabeth is extremely focused, knowledgeable and pushes me enough to feel real benefits. As an older, newby to Yoga, I was nervous - but Liz made me feel great and worked with me on areas that needed help. She is super focused on my posture to make sure I maximize each pose.
Within 5 minutes of our first session, Liz spotted critical adjustments that changed the way I practice. After 10+ years of practicing yoga religiously, I took a long hiatus from the mat (baby, move, covid, etc…). Starting back up was overwhelming and vulnerable and humbling. I knew the right instructor would get me back on track - without judgement (or excuses). Liz has done exactly that. She’s given me back my regular yoga practice, but better — I now pay more attention to adjustments in order to prevent hypertension/injury, and push myself deeper with every pose. I feel myself again with yoga back in my life thanks to Liz. She’s also a joy to be around. She’s funny, kind, understanding, and always responsive. Book her immediately! :)
Liz is coming to our office weekly to teach a small group of “office sloths” yoga and we love it! She comes on time, never skips classes without a good reason and the classes are always engaging and challenging just the right amount. We all look forward to her classes.
Simple SUPERB! The absolute best I have ever had as a trainer! I completely and unequivocally
Elizabeth has helped me ease into yoga as I am neophyte. Even though we have only been working together for a few weeks I already feel many positive changes.
Liz is very passionate and professional person. I look forward to her visit and training. i am seeing improvements in my body.
Elizabeth is lovely woman who is well educated & trained in yoga! I am a beginner in yoga and Elizabeth made me feel very comfortable in starting out. She was very accommodating with availability and responded right away! Elizabeth takes her expertise and makes the experience based on your needs and what you’re looking to gain/learn/feel from it! She was very patient with teaching me and she really took the time to ensure I was doing everything correctly to really benefit from it. Every session was unique and I felt the progress! I always left the sessions feeling wonderful & accomplished! I would HIGHLY recommend doing yoga with Elizabeth (:
