take your time move to meditate
Please join me for weekly yoga!
You can find me guiding shapes and spaces at Portland Yoga Collective — in the lovely downtown Portland, Maine.

A strong dynamic flow incorporating alignment principles, intention setting and the belief that practice makes practice, not perfection.
Come as you are for a challenging flow with options to modify at every level of practice. Expect breath work, standing poses and inversions!
My classes feel like a mini self-retreat and an opportunity to find what feels good! You can expect to move, breathe and relax with the intent to cultivate inner connection to the self and greater awareness of the body.
You may observe a re-balance between you and your experiences, relationships and energy in this world.
Awakening Yoga with Liz Merci
Liz completed her second 200-hour yoga teacher training, mobility and functional movement course, and breath work facilitator class with the folks of Awakening Yoga Academy!
Curious about Awakening Yoga?
Every Sunday, 11:00 am at Portland Yoga Collective, Liz teaches The Set. The Set is the 60-minute version of the AYA Foundational Set Sequences!
Same postures, same transitions, same pace, every time.
A perfect way to benchmark your progress and experience a full body flow.

Elizabeth effortlessly transforms the rawness of being human into a beautiful flow that leaves you with a sense of fullness. I love that the class is so personal, I’ve never felt so comfortable going at my own pace and listening to my own body.
Chris
Liz always brings a spicy flow and a lot of strength building on the mat. Great class!
Samantha
I am so inspired by Liz and her practice of Awakening Yoga. This is my favorite class I’ve been to at PYC. I can’t wait to keep learning from her!
Jillian
Liz’s class is such a breath of fresh air! She is an experiences teacher with a deep knowledge of anatomy and sequencing. It is difficult to find a teacher like this so I highly recommend taking her class!
Bella
Liz provides a calming and relaxing environment while simultaneously pushing your body to limits you didn’t know existed. Her breath work is so incredibly grounding and her presence is kind, motivating and inviting. I feel reset for success every time I leave this class and look forward to it every time I book!

Awesome times a million. Really enjoy the fun sequences Liz comes up with. She is great at explaining cues and positions. She also has an amazing overall practice and she made me feel welcome to share in that practice.
