LIZ JOY HARDIE
TEACHER TRAINER

About Liz
My career began in the fast-paced world of fashion buying at Vivienne Westwood & Net-A-Porter and I only started practicing Yoga because my Grandmother swore by getting upside down everyday! In my late twenties I was very suddenly signed off work & diagnosed with Malignant Hypertension & Generalised Anxiety Disorder which turned my life upside down. I started teaching Yoga with the simple goal of sharing the powerful & empowering tools that helped me so much when I was at my lowest.
I spent a year volunteering at the Safe Childhoods Foundation in Bali, an NGO committed to combating child trafficking, which was a time of total transformation. I began to understand the true benefits of Yoga, breath-work & positive psychology as therapeutic tools. Since then I’ve trained as a Yoga Therapist for Stress & Anxiety, a Holistic Wellbeing Coach and a Mental Health First Aider.
I now work as Head of Wellness at MoreYoga, a Senior Yoga Teacher & Yoga Teacher Trainer alongside running regular events & teaching privately. I am a proud advocate for Mental Health Awareness and launched the MoreMind Programme to promote positive mental health and help fight the stigma that still exists around mental illness today. My writing and commentary has been featured in Stylist, Time Out, The Times, Women’s Health, The Telegraph, Huffpost and more.
