Breath & Bones Philosophy
So what makes Breath & Bones with Liz Kresch special?
The 4 Pillars
Embraces the mind/body interplay.
As a graduate of both hard knocks and esteemed institutions, and a longtime student of Buddhism, Liz recognizes that finding true comfort and health in your body involves more than perfecting crane pose. It also means releasing toxic thoughts and shifting behavioral patterns.
Infusion of personal experience.
Liz knows the struggle many of us face. She has gone from failing to honor her own body to learning how to nurture and heal herself, and she’s passionate about guiding others on this journey.
Mindful bodywork crossing modalities.
Liz has studied with veterans and visionaries of yoga, Pilates, Thai massage, and human anatomy. She draws what’s most relevant from their teachings to bring inspiration and healing to her clients.
Customization is the key to deepening clients’ well being.
Unlike practitioners with one rigid method, Liz takes a fluid, ever-changing approach that’s highly individualized. Every session is tailored to your needs and goals in that very moment.
About Liz
Liz Kresch’s background in studying the human body and healing arts is as unique as the services she offers. It’s a journey that started in Brooklyn and took her around the world to study with masters in their fields.
Growing up in a family of artists gave Liz a rich field of vision. Seeing the human body rendered on paper and canvas awakened her to the beauty of its form and sparked her curiosity about how it moved and worked in three dimensions.
She explored that curiosity through yoga. Her family lived across the street from an ashram, and though initially resistant to the classes offered there, she eventually found herself on a path to understanding yoga as a route to physical and mental well-being. Liz started her dedicated practice in 1996, deepening her study with teachers whose work she respected. In 2004, she stepped into teaching. Her training in mat and equipment Pilates further supported her practice and understanding of functional fitness.
Liz studied Thai massage at the Swedish Institute in New York. Falling in love with the modality and its healing potential, she traveled to Thailand to deepen her training. A longtime student of Buddhism since age 16, she more formally committed to the path in 2004.
Liz teaches from personal experience. She’s open about her own struggles and proud of her journey from extremes to nurturing body and spirit back to health. She’s dedicated to sustainable change~ a process that starts now and unfolds from within.
A Personal Statement
For years, I chased quick fixes seeking energy, inspiration, and what I thought was wellness through instant results. But that approach kept me stuck in cycles that moved me further from where I actually wanted to be: grounded, healthy, and at peace in my own body.
Today, I embrace the journey. I value sustainable progress over perfection and stay curious, keeping my practice and offerings fresh. I’ve learned that life’s challenges are meant to be moved through, not avoided and that real transformation happens when we build healthy habits that stick.
I love supporting people through this process and watching them grow, some changes appearing immediately, others unfolding over time.

Everyday Tips & Insight
Divide to conquer your back pain! Divide your bags to even the weight you carry throughout the day. More time than you think is spent with your body conditioning itself to support that one side you keep working!
Wear your heart on your sleeve just a little. Convey who you are to be met with honest reactions. Your external world will come to match your internal world.
Stand up mindfully. Extend one foot forward, lean into it and push off the BACK leg. Follow your head up for happier hips! See how often each day you can work it into your life.
Subway Pilates. Parallel feet. Lower your center of gravity and let go! Engage your core to support. Watch the short stops!
Body Scan! What’s firing in your body right now due to tension and not INtention? Release it! If you can’t put a finger on it- exhale and drop your shoulders.
Laugh! Laughter grounds you and connects you to others. It also releases endorphins, protects the heart by increasing blood flow, boosts the immune system and leaves your muscles relaxed! Can’t find the humor where you are right now? Lighten up!
Feeling run down? Stop running. That includes those thoughts of “you should be/might just be able to do that thing”. You’ll be feeling better sooner than if you did that thing!
Just like us. Many in the lineage of Buddhist masters were living, breathing people who struggled. They were intellectuals, farmers, people with families and some even murderers. All kinds of people with everyday problems have sought enlightenment. What do you seek? What limits you?
Read! Busy with life and daily physical practices? Don’t neglect to feed your whole being. What are you reading?
