Lizzie Warfield Bunge, owner of Breathe Yoga & Pilates.

About the Owner:

Lizzie’s yoga journey started in 2014, in which she quickly dedicated herself to her daily practice. A little over a year later, she became Yoga Alliance-certified as an RYT (registered yoga teacher) at the 200 hour level of study. In 2020, she logged over one thousand hours teaching, becoming an E-RYT (experienced registered yoga teacher) 200, and completed her studies in the RYT 500 hour level, just a couple days before giving birth to her son (who you may see around the studio often).

Since then, Lizzie has logged over two thousand teaching hours, granting her the level of E-RYT 500, which is the highest level of certification an instructor can receive from the Yoga Alliance. In addition to these new hours, Lizzie pours her heart into planning world-wide yoga retreats, teacher trainings, and other various workshops.

During her free time, Lizzie loves gardening, paddle boarding (SUP Yoga!), reading, and exploring the world with her son.

Lizzie believes in the magic of mindfulness, and the life changing effect it has on every yoga practitioner, no matter their age, gender, race, body type, or any other physical factors; she is very excited to continue growing as a student, teacher + owner in the Breathe Yoga & Pilates community!
