Elizabeth Miller is a certified yoga teacher in the viniyoga tradition through American Viniyoga Institute, registered nationally with the Yoga Alliance at the 500-hour professional level, and a member of the International Association of Yoga Therapists. She has been practicing yoga for eleven years, and has studied extensively with many renowned teachers including Gary Kraftsow, David Deida, Dinabandhu and Ila Sarley, Jon Kabat-Zinn, Sofia Diaz, and others.

In addition to her yogic studies, Elizabeth also holds a Bachelor's degree from Otterbein College (Westerville, Ohio) in English Literature with special emphasis in Religious Studies and Visual Arts; as well as certification in Thai Yoga Massage from the Lotus Palm School in Montreal. She and her family welcomed a new addition to their family in early 2010, daughter Harper Mae.

Like so many, Elizabeth's path to yoga came from a desire to become healthier in body, mind, and spirit after a series of challenging life experiences while living in the mountains of northwest Colorado. Beginning with just one class a week, she soon knew that a teacher's path would be hers.

In addition to teaching yoga, Elizabeth worked for several years with the Omega Institute, a leader in holistic education based in Rhinebeck, New York, and The Crossings, a progressive learning center just outside Austin, Texas. Through these progressive centers of education, Elizabeth has been able to learn and incorporate seeds of wisdom from many traditions in her classes and private sessions.

Elizabeth's gentle, yet powerful, teaching style helps students accept themselves as they are and uncover their sacred perfection. Following an ancient tradition honoring the five dimensions of humanity, Elizabeth weaves a class that touches the physical, mental, energetic, psychological, and spiritual dimensions of our being.

About Reden Yoga

Cultivate joy as you would a dear friendship.
—Wayne Teasdale

Reden Yoga is the name I gave to the heart- and brain-child I've been developing since 1999, a year marked with significance for me. It was the year I came face-to-face with the choice we all must make at some point: do you choose to make a life of joy or a life of pain?

During that time of intense personal struggle and introspection, I was fortunate to discover a symbol called the mandorla ("almond" in Italian). The mandorla is the image created by two intersecting circles, as you can see in the logo above. The image symbolizes the intersection of humanity and divinity and it became a safe haven of rest, peace, and joy for me.

Time spent with the image of the mandorla unveiled a joyful calm deep within me. I decided to name the newfound feeling "reden"—a re-Edening of the world, a process of which I wanted to be a part—a place of joyful connection between the human and the divine, be it physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual.

Wayne Teasdale wrote the above words in response to Mechthild of Magdeburg's definition of God, "Who is God? God is the meaning for my joy, [and] a gladsome joy to my being." Reden Yoga is the product of my efforts to cultivate this dear friendship with joy.
