Liz started her practice of Yoga in 1974 and has maintained regular practice ever since. In 2015, she completed a 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training and will upgrade this qualification in 2020.
She has worked as a Registered Nurse since 1974 and has focused on Aged Care. She has worked as a Nurse Educator and a Clinical Nurse Consultant in Aged Care.
In 2010, she obtained a Masters of Clinical Science: Aged Care and Healthy Ageing from the Southern Cross University NSW. For the past 5 years, she has been a Nurse educator for undergraduate nurses.
In September 2019, Liz completed the Certificate in Yoga for Healthy Ageing training at Kripula (USA) lead by Baxter Bell, a medical officer with extensive experience in Healthy Aging and Yoga.
Nursing the older population, it became obvious, the difference that an active lifestyle and positive attitude made to maintaining independence and recovering from ill health. This sparked Liz's interest in studying how to remain as healthy as possible as we age.
Liz has worked with physiotherapists by getting the older patients as independent as possible to return home. Also working on Fall Prevention interventions, and strength building activities.
Liz noticed that a lot of the exercises were very like yoga asanas which prompted her to research healthy ageing. The consensus is that healthy ageing requires physical activity that will maintain independence, and the development of a positive and stress reducing mind set. These are all combined in the practice of yoga.
