⁠
What led you to becoming a yoga teacher?⁠
"I’m drawn to the eight limbs of yoga as a practice that can contribute to peace and freedom. My practice deepened several years ago when yoga, meditation, and sound became sources of healing in my life, which led me to Sedona where I trained in sound healing in 2022. When I returned to Wisconsin, I felt called to continue exploring this path. With the guidance of my teachers, I completed my 200-hour teacher training at the Moving Galaxy. I’m continually inspired by yoga and the community around it. Teaching feels like a way to share something I love, and support others in their own practice while deepening my understanding. I have some background in education and the performing arts, which has made teaching and facilitating something I’ve long found meaningful."⁠
⁠
What is your favorite part about teaching yoga?⁠
"The people who come to practice. I’ve met so many amazing people and it’s a privilege to witness people’s growth over time. I also love bringing pranayama and sound into my classes."⁠
⁠
Currently, what style of yoga are you drawn to most? Why?⁠
"I love vinyasa, especially for the connection of movement with breath, and dynamic motion and strength with grounding and awareness. I’ve also been finding balance in slower practices, like restorative and yin, which support the nervous system in a different way."⁠
⁠
Top three favorite yoga poses...GO!⁠
"Savasana, Virabhadrasana I, Natarajasana."⁠
⁠
What is your favorite restaurant in Milwaukee?⁠
"Strange Town - I think about their adaptogenic chocolate cake more than I’d like to admit."⁠
⁠
If you could gain one superpower, what would you choose?⁠
"Understand and communicate in any language."⁠
⁠
Describe what a perfect day for you would look like.⁠
"Starting the day with meditation and tea, and a beautiful hike. Doing work that feels meaningful, which might include teaching yoga, tutoring, or studying something I care about. Playing or listening to music, dancing, cooking dinner with friends, and getting to bed early."

This Sunday, practice Kundalini yoga with Elizabeth Bogart () at 10:45a! ⁠
⁠
Kundalini Yoga (also known as the "Yoga of Experience") is a unique combination of movement (called, kriya), breathing techniques (pranayama), mantra (chanting), and meditation with mudra (hand postures). Each kriya works like a recipe and has a specific effect on the body - physically and energetically. The system of pressure and release supports the nervous system to reset, regulate, and balance the glandular system. ⁠
⁠
Elizabeth has been teaching/practicing this style of yoga for over 15 years and affectionately describes this practice as "putting yourself in the washing machine" in a good way. ⁠
⁠
This practice is ideal for folks recovering from burnout, processing grief, deepening their intuition, or simply wanting to feel more expansive, capable, & alive! It's best understood by experiencing it, so come try it! You can use your membership or class pack to sign up, or drop-in for $25! Go to https://momence.com/l/g7hbjVGO to register.

Devote eight weekends of your life to dive deep into yogic studies, practice svadhyaya (self-study), connect with sangha, laugh, and play, all to become a 200-hour certified yoga teacher! The 2026 fall training will be led by Anna Argeropoulos and Mary Steskal, with the help of other beloved Galaxy teachers!⁠
⁠
The Moving Galaxy teacher training program is divided into two parts: five weeks of practice immersion and three weeks of teacher apprenticeship. If you are yearning to learn more about the practice, but are not interested in teaching, you can join the program for the first five weeks. Those who complete the practice immersion will have an immersive knowledge of the practice, philosophy, and anatomy of yoga, so that they are comfortable creating a home practice for themselves. ⁠
⁠
If your goal is to become certified and teach, you'll continue onto the teachers apprenticeship! Here, you will work closely with your teachers and your cohort to uncover well-outlined teaching methodologies, class sequencing resources, classroom management best practices, and practical business and communication skills and ethics. You will emerge ready to lead a heart-centered and soulful yoga class from the day you graduate, with feedback and guidance from mentors with over 30 years of combined experience!⁠
⁠
