Bek & Madi - Owners: Flex Studios, Melbourne

"Liz taught for us at Flex Studio for almost 4.5 half years and we are truly grateful for the knowledge and passion Liz bought to and shared with our community. Liz is always learning to deepen her vast knowledge of human anatomy and the practises of yoga and pilates, and willingly shares her expertise with students. We have been lucky to have Liz on our team."

Christie - Flex Studios

"I’ve attended over 100 of Liz’s Pilates and yoga classes. Even from a brand new beginner I’ve always found Liz’s exercises easy to follow and clearly explained. She is very knowledgeable and offers variations in the exercises to suit every skill level. The classes have improved my every day life physically and mentally. I have better balance, co-ordination, muscle tone and strength and my anxiety and stress has significantly reduced."

Sussy V

"Liz I am so grateful to you for your encouragement and support. I learned so much from you over the last 4 years that I have been practicing with you. You thought me that I am stronger than I realised and to accept my body as it is limitations and all. Thank you for your generosity. You are inspiring, an amazing teacher and person. I look forward to continue to practice with you in the future."

Prasanya Gopinathan

"Having attended over 40 classes with Liz, I can say that she is such an amazing teacher. Be it Bikram yoga or Vinyasa or Pilates or Yin yoga, Liz is always encouraging and guides very well. At one of my early classes, she corrected my downward dog yoga pose and since then I had no difficulty practising it ever again. Liz always gives us a lot of variations with a single pose that can suit anybody. I’m a big fan of her Yin yoga class. One of the best. Highly recommended practising yoga with Liz"

Neesh Seegum - Flex

"I’ve had the pleasure to take over 50 yoga classes with Liz. Her natural ability to create a calm and welcoming environment made me confident and comfortable. If you are after a mixture of modern and Sanskrit practices, Liz will leave you energized and grateful for your practice on and off the mat. I highly recommend."

Sherrill G – Pilates client

"From that moment I told Liz I was pregnant with my first, I knew I could trust her to look after me during my pregnancy. Liz did an amazing job making sure I got a good Pilates reformer workout that kept me fit whilst making sure that I didn’t get any injuries and put my mind at ease during my first few weeks of the pregnancy. Liz has an in depth knowledge of the human body and uses this to guide each of her clients depending on their specific concerns. Her classes are well thought out with many options for those who want to go easier, harder or just can’t do a particular exercise on that day. Liz, I really appreciate the extra effort you put in for me during my pregnancy and wish I could have come to your classes again post baby!’"

Frances

"Having Liz as an experienced instructor has given me a love for exercise. My cholesterol dropped 15% and no more sciatic pain. I can’t thank Liz enough!"

Sarah P - Pilates

"Liz was one of my first ever Pilates instructors. I instantly fell in love with her classes - not only were they challenging and enjoyable, but Liz also facilitated a safe, nurturing and empowering space. Liz is full of knowledge, and is always so good at explaining what is being worked. She is non-judgemental and inclusive, and somehow, always manages to give you new and unique challenges. I came across Liz at a time in my life where my relationship with myself and my body was in a fragile state. Liz helped me feel strong, in both my mind and body, and helped me form a connection between the two. I cannot thank her enough for the role she played in my journey to connecting with myself. Two and a half years later, I have now trained to become a Pilates Instructor myself, and Liz's classes are still some of my toughest, most looked forward to work-outs. You're guaranteed to burn, and have a giggle too. Thanks for being your awesome, authentic, giving and slightly torturous self Liz.’"

Sue McShane - Owner Balanced Yoga Kingston ACT

"When you finish one of Liz's classes, you are a state of yoga bliss. Liz has incredible knowledge and weaves this with her love of yoga to create an amazing restorative environment for yoga and for magic to happen. I really enjoy the combination of yoga nidra and restorative yoga in Liz's classes, it gives me time to take care of myself, in a safe supportive environment."

Fiona Petschel

"Liz is an amazing instructor. She is welcoming and knowledgeable. As the class runs she gives us information about what muscles we are using and why they are important to exercise. Her classes are always enjoyable and challenging."

Sonia Dunne

"Liz is an enthusiastic teacher with a wealth of knowledge. She puts safety first each time I am in her classes – asking if anyone has any injuries, pregnancies or concerns. I always feel she is looking after me and protecting me during her classes. Liz will adjust her clients if she feels they aren’t performing an exercise correctly. She demonstrates the trickier Pilates moves so that all of the clients are fully aware of the requirements. She will adjust her teaching for all levels during the class. I am a regular participant in her classes for all these reasons."

Bek. P

"I recently took a Yin and Fascial Release workshop with Liz and it was fantastic. Liz had so much knowledge to share with us and she set the scene really nicely so a room full of people felt comfortable, like friends gathering in our lounge room. Liz explained everything really well, gave lots of options and alternatives to suit different bodies, and I learned so much for my Yin practise. Thank you Liz"

Private Client

"Liz has helped me develop a program of breathing exercises that not only helps me with managing my pain, but also sleep, dealing with the stress I’m experiencing at work & with having a Dad with stage 4 cancer. I can use some of these wonderful breathing exercises on the train and at work."

“If you are looking for a very knowledgeable & well-tuned-in yoga instructor, look no further than Liz Albanis. She is not interested in trying to make sure that you can turn yourself into a pretzel, balance upside down or anything like that. What she is interested in is what is best for You. What do you want, where do you want to be & how to get there. She carefully & thoughtfully listens to everything you have to say, especially any injuries or health issues that you may have. She is mindful that not everyone can do everything, so she thoughtfully takes everything into consideration when helping you & supporting you to create a daily practice plan. She tailor’s your personal plan with great consideration."
