Luz Flaneuse (Elizabeth Shaler), RYT-200, is a Kundalini yoga instructor, sound healing practitioner and holistic music educator. Her approach to kundalini yoga is aimed at strengthening the physical body as well as the nervous system and glands. In addition to traditional Kundalini practices of breath, movement and sound, Luz draws upon kriya, raja, bhakti, Iyengar and yin yoga traditions and Taoist energy cultivation to deliver thoughtful, uplifting classes tailored to the seasons and the needs of each student. Each class features a kriya, or set of physical exercises, pranayama (breathwork) and meditation, using the the sounds of the gong and other sound healing instruments. Singing, dancing, chanting and mantra meditation are frequent parts of Luz’s classes and allow students to enter deep states of relaxation, happiness and peace. Luz is a graduate of the 2015-2016 yoga teacher training program at Golden Bridge (New York, NY) under the tutelage of Gurmukh Khalsa and received her sound healing certification in 2019 at the Sage Academy of Sound Energy (Woodstock, NY).
