Yin and Aroma Acutouch: Fall Within
Bellingham Yoga Collective - Granary
November 9, 2025: 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
W/ Liesl Schwerin & Liza Higbee-Robinson
Treat yourself to an evening of receiving through the practices of Yin Yoga, Aroma Acutouch, and Acupressure. Connect with the elemental and seasonal patterns of nature that stir outside us, as well as within the inner landscapes of the mind, body, and heart. Join Liza and Liesl in practices designed to support your physical and emotional balance in the abundant time of summer.
This workshop draws from the wisdom teachings of the Daoist Five Phases and Meridian Theory as they relate to human well-being. Liza and Liesl merge the restorative practices of Yin Yoga and Aroma Acutouch to stimulate key points along the meridian channels of the body in support of physical, mental, and emotional balance and restoration.
Cost: $45
Vinyasa Krama Small-Group Sequencing
Bellingham Yoga Collective - Granary
January 14 - February 11, 2026
Dive into the art and science of Vinyasa Krama — a form of peak pose sequencing that honors both the physical body and the subtle energetics of asana practice. Translated, “Vi” means order, “Nyasa” means placement, and “Krama” reflects the uninterrupted sequence of events from beginning to end.
Through study, hands-on exploration, and Liza’s guidance, this small-group mentorship invites yoga teachers to move beyond surface-level sequencing and to craft classes that flow like stories through the body — purposeful, cohesive, and informed by functional anatomy.
Each session will offer space for dialogue, feedback, and refinement alongside a community of peers. Over the course of this mentorship series, we’ll explore:
• Foundations of Vinyasa Krama and how to creatively apply them as a teacher
• Strategies and templates for building sequences that safely guide students toward specific peak poses, with opportunities to shape your own
• Functional anatomy applications to support intelligent class progressions
• Pose breakdowns to provide better preparation, adaptation, and accessibility for a wider range of students
• How to weave in philosophical and energetic themes in an authentic and embodied way

Spirit of Spring: Bloom
A five elements yoga retreat
Bowen Island, British Columbia
May 6-8, 2026
W/Liza Higbee-Robinson & Liesl Schwerin
As May unfolds in the Pacific Northwest, nature awakens — wildflowers bloom, birds sing, and the days grow longer and lighter. It's a season of renewal that invites awakening and possibility.
Step away from the daily demands of living and reconnect with nature and yourself. Through rest, presence, and awakening practices, you’ll tune into your body, quiet your mind, and align with the rhythm of the season.
Held on beautiful Bowen Island, surrounded by forest and ocean, this is more than a retreat — it’s an opportunity for return. To yourself. To the earth. To the present moment.
Join me for this special experience — close to home, yet a world away.
