Elizabeth Hargrove

Elizabeth started taking yoga in October, 1995. She fell in love with the precision of Iyengar Yoga and has been studying in this tradition ever since. Elizabeth's main teacher is Jan Campbell.

Elizabeth holds immense gratitude for the quality of life that yoga creates for the devoted practitioner. Elizabeth's dedication to her practice was put to the test in July of 2005, when was diagnosed with dermatomyositis, an autoimmune disease that attacks the muscle cells. She credits yoga for helping her during her ongoing healing process. Elizabeth is thankful for yoga having provided a healthy body for her prior to the disease, and for preventing potential further muscle degeneration over the course of her illness. Yoga aids her in on a daily basis in her healing process as she continues to regain strength and stamina.

Of her illness, Elizabeth says, "I feel one of the greatest gifts of illness is that it heightens your compassion toward others. I understand the pain of injury & illness. I am therefore devoted to assisting others in dealing with their challenges."
