Elizabeth purchased land in Fern Forest on the Big Island of Hawaii in 2009 and began her vision to create a healing haven in the rainforest with the powerful energy of a live volcanic island. In 2010, Elizabeth founded and ran Luminescence Healing Haven in the Santa Cruz mountains developing and fine tuning her skills in the healing arts.
By 2016, the space in Fern Forest was complete with a guest cottage and yoga studio at which time, Yoga Yurt Hawaii was formally open, and Elizabeth moved to the Big Island full time. One day, one of Elizabeth's yoga students offered to gift her a couple goats, and the adventure of goat farming began.

Elizabeth is a master at her craft. She has a magical way with the body and knows exactly what it needs since she tunes in and listens with intent. She commits to leaving the body in an improved state with her healing touch and succeeds each time.
She's a gentle human with a big heart and she wears that on her sleeve.
Her goats and chickens serve as a cherry on top of your experience.
While on the big island, this is a must-experience experience!

I am thrilled we stumbled upon Elizabeth and her yoga yurt (plus so much more) for our last day in volcano. Very last minute, I was frantically searching for a place to relax and get a shower in before our 11PM Saturday night flight out of Hilo and I couldn’t for the life of me find any spa or massage therapist that had any availability in the late afternoon, let alone a place to shower after. Finally i came across the yoga yurt and texted Elizabeth and she quickly responded. Yes! She could offer my husband and me a private yoga class with reiki and an hr massage each, as well as a shower!! I

I did a Reiki training with Elizabeth in her peaceful yurt and it was much more than what I expected. I learned so much in the course, and she was very welcoming and knowledgeable. I had the best time connecting to her and her animals. Highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone for learnings and experiencing services she offers :)

I had a fantastic healing massage and yoga class here. Elizabeth is a professional who pulls from many modalities and exudes peace and love. I've been practicing yoga for 22 years and her class got me realizing there's always more to learn. I love that she included pranayama and qigong. A full rounded experience. I recommend adding a infrared sauna to finish out this healing experience:)

I scheduled a private class with Elizabeth. She accommodated me for an evening class in her Yurt. The class was closer to 90 minutes, maybe been 2 hours, and was so magical. This was not an ordinary class. I requested a vinyasa flow and she added in her own touches, which were amazing! She incorporated some reiki massaging, energy healing and crystals. She led us through the flow, a meditation, and an extended shavasana. This was the highlight of our stay in Volcano. Having the class in her Yurt was super relaxing and unique. She had some candles lit and it was the perfect evening setting. The

What an amazing massage. Elizibeth really knows what she is doing and the atmosphere was great. Had a 90 min massage that seemed to last longer. Her technique was the best I have had and really loved the hot stones. Too bad she does not live in Santa Barbara. Thanks for the amazing massage. Will definitely be back next time we come visit.

Lizzie was truly INCREDIBLE! My husband and I stumbled across her private yoga lesson, and it was one of the highlights of our stay near volcano. We were truly transported to a magical place during the class. We are both from New York City, and have experienced many amazing yoga classes, but this was one of our all time favorites. I only wish we had discovered it sooner so we could have come again.

My daughter and I were in Volcano for a couple of days over Spring Break, hiking and relaxing. We stumbled upon Yoga Yurt Hawaii thru Yelp and found a real gem! A little out of the way, but so worth the effort to get there. All I can say is that I had a fantastic hot stone massage in the calm ambience of the Hawaiian forest. I'd do it again in a heartbeat the next time we are in the area!

Lizzie's yoga class is more than just a yoga class, it's an experience! Deep in the rain forest, the yurt is the perfect escape for destination yoga fanatics.
A combination of yoga, reiki, crystals, sound and cool mountain breezes made this one of favorite stops. Following the class we took a detoxifying infra-red sauna which combined light and color treatment. The whole experience was enriching for both the mind and the body.
If you looking for a relaxing and invigorating stop on the way to the volcano-this is the place!

I don't recommend many places because sometimes it's a hit or miss but I can honestly say Lizzie is AMAZING and you're crazy if you don't make an appointment with her!
I suffer from migraines, a torn rotator cuff, and sciatica among other things which have made me seek out the healing hands of massage therapists throughout the state and also the west coast. I can honestly say that Lizzie of Yogayurt is AMAZING and one of the top 3 that I've been to. She is definitely the best I've found here on Big Island and I've been to more than 10 including the spa at Mauna
