YOUR LEADERS

As a team they bring you with four decades of teaching experience, a decade of business ownership, and thousands of hours leading and mentoring teachers.

“Working with Juliana and Elizabeth was nothing short of life changing.  It was a journey of self discovery that gave me the confidence to now stand in front of a room and lead a powerful practice.  The straightforward feedback and ongoing mentoring has been useful to me as a teacher and has helped me be the best version of myself so I can show up for others.” - Natalie TT grad ‘22

A master yoga instructor, Elizabeth continues to train, learn and lead the Baptiste practice.  As a student of Elizabeth’s for over a decade I continue to be grateful to have a teacher of this caliber.  It has changed my life.” - Susan, TT grad ‘18
