    Elizabeth Chaulk

    Learner. Educator. Empath.

    Elizabeth is a native Texan as well as wife and mother to a beautiful family in Katy, Texas. One daughter starts kindergarten this year, another is still an infant at home, and two more daughters watch over us from the heavens.

    Her curious nature flourished as she studied biology and chemistry at Texas Tech University. Her nurturing tendencies fulfilled as she taught biology to students in public schools and survival swimming to young children. Part time, she manages operations for a local non-profit supporting moms of loss and curating wellness experiences for fellow women.

    Elizabeth discovered her love of yoga in 2014 after joining a gym in an effort to improve her physical health. She has practiced regularly ever since. Her favorite thing about her practice is the challenge and acceptance of where her ever changing body is throughout the years.

    “Believe there is good in the world. Be the good” is a philosophy that drives and motivates her.
