STUDENT REVIEWS

“I’ve been fortunate to have Liz and Roland as regular teachers, as well as teachers in my 200-hr Teacher Training, and to have participated in their 50-hr Flightschool Teacher Training. I can only say it’s worth it. Liz and Roland combine meaningful sequencing and anatomical knowledge with the deeper meaning of yoga. They do all this with ease and humor. Through them, I have not only gained deeper access to my physical practice, but also to my meditation practice. In addition, they have significantly shaped my teaching style. Detailed alignment, intelligent class structure, calm, the important in the simple, the lightness in the complex, authenticity and independence—all this is represented Liz and Roland’s style. I highly recommend Liz and Roland to everyone, to learn from the two and to be inspired! “
~Inga Lessmann Yoga Teacher |
"I had the chance to practice with Liz and Roland in various workshops/masterclasses, retreats and at their very own Groove Gathering. For almost three years now I am happy to call them my teachers, as with them what began as a sport turned into a practice. Liz and Roland teach sweaty and often challenging asana-classes with profound anatomical knowledge. Due to great sequencing these classes regularly create the “Yoga-bliss” that brings you back to your mat and to yourself. While they do not chant in classes or burn incense sticks, they always incorporate the spiritual aspects of Yoga in a very down-to-earth and approachable way. What is even more important is the unique energy they create in all of their offerings, truly welcoming everyone and establishing a sense of community wherever they hold space for their students—be it a small group in a weekly workshop, a family-like gathering in the desert or hundreds of people in packed festival-classes.

“The 50-hr Flighschool Teacher Training with Liz and Roland was a great experience, taught with a lot of heart, wit, knowledge, and a good dose of funny stories from Roland. I have learned a lot, and not only in my own “flying” practice. My teaching has benefitted greatly from the enormous know-how of the two and their ability to connect with their students."
~Melanie Maier Yoga Teacher |
“Liz and Roland are wonderful humans and great teachers. It was a pleasure to take the magic ride of a teacher training with them. They are competent in Yoga technique and anatomy, well-educated and credible in Yoga philosophy and lifestyle and most of all humorous and warm-hearted teachers. I’m thankful for an amazing experience and felt always that I’m in good hands with them while facing my insecurities of becoming a yoga teacher.”
~Daniel Nett Yoga Teacher |
About liz & Roland
We travel worldwide leading workshops and retreats, and guest teaching at festivals, conferences and in teacher trainings. We write for various yoga magazines such as the German Yoga Journal and Yoga Aktuell, and offer online content in English and German through udaya.com and doyouyoga.com. Rooted in our own intense practice, our teaching offers a unique blend of detailed anatomy and alignment instruction with storytelling, philosophy, meditation and mindfulness, marrying modern and traditional approaches to yoga.
We have traveled widely, visiting many holy sites in India and Nepal in order to understand the roots of yoga. We have practiced with diverse teachers from the west and the east, and have been strongly influenced by multiple visits to Plum Village (Thich Nhat Hanh) and years of intensive study with Tsakpo Rinpoche.
In 2014, we founded The Groove Gathering. Our goal is to offer intimate yoga events in diverse locations, focused on exploring movement, sound, and creative play, rooted in the local community, emphasizing inclusivity and learning together, and featuring some of the best local and international yoga teachers and musicians we know.
After eight years based in Cologne, Germany, we moved to a small farm in the Kingston area and took ownership of studio330 in 2017. While still travelling, we are enjoying putting down roots and becoming immersed in the Kingston yoga community. When we’re at home, you’ll find us getting muddy in the vegetable garden with our baby boy, tending to a small crew of chickens and goats, and exploring our connection to the land.
