They have built their studio from 10 classes a week to over 60 weekly classes, from 30 students a day to over 250 students a day.  Eliza credits their success on building a strong community through empowering and inspiring everyone that comes through their doors.  Eliza is a Certified Baptiste Power Vinyasa teacher, on her way to be a Master Baptiste Teacher and is currently going through FIT to Lead, the highest level of training the Baptiste Yoga Institute offers.
