About » Breath and Bones »

Realign. Renew. Recharge.
Body & Mind.

Because One Size Does Not Fit All (if pigeon pose on fire escapes isn’t your thing, let’s discover what is.)

Whether your movement of choice is on a yoga mat, Pilates reformer, spin bike or a running path, it’s easy to get lost in the crowd. Things get overlooked. Attention isn’t paid.

You get stuck in a practice that isn’t deepening, a body that is all twinges and aches, a state of mind that’s sluggish when it should be soaring.. you’re losing faith in movement as a solution.

Breath & Bones is here to focus on you. And you alone. So you can get unstuck. Go deeper. Kick to the curb those habits that get in your way and swap in some healthier ones (that you’ll actually enjoy).

Rooted in the belief that everybody and every body needs a tune-up or a jump-start now and again to stay healthy inside and out, Breath & Bones provides body refinement tailored to your experience, your level of fitness and your goals. Through a customized blend of yoga, Pilates, Thai massage and other bodywork, guided meditation and habit-changing support, Breath and Bones provides a total mind-body experience that soothes, heals and inspires.

One on One Sessions are again open for booking.

Breath & Bones Philosophy

So what makes Breath & Bones with Liz Kresch special?

The 4 Pillars

Embraces the mind/body interplay.

As a graduate of the school of hard knocks and esteemed institutions as well as a longtime student of Buddhism, Liz recognizes that finding true comfort, health and happiness in one’s body has to do with more than perfecting crane pose. Comfort in your own skin also means releasing and shifting toxic thoughts and behavioral patterns.

Infusion of personal experience.

Liz knows the struggle that 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 who are on this journey.

Mindful bodywork crossing modalities.

Liz has studied with true veterans & visionaries of yoga, Pilates, Thai massage and human anatomy and, in return, she draws what she finds relevant from their teachings to bring inspiration and healing to a new generation.

Customization is the key to deepening clients’ well being.

Unlike many yoga teachers or massage practitioners who have one single rigid method, Liz takes an approach that is fluid, ever changing and highly individualized. Every session with Liz is tailored to what your needs are, and what you want to achieve, that very moment to move towards your goal.

About Liz

Liz Kresch’s background in studying the human body and the healing arts is as unique as the services she offers. It’s a history that begins in her hometown of Brooklyn and takes her around the world studying with masters.

Growing up in a family of artists gave her a rich field of vision. Seeing the human body on paper and canvas awakened Liz to the beauty of its form. And, it piqued a curiosity about how the body moved and worked in three dimensions. She soon began to satisfy that curiosity through yoga. Her family lived across the street from an ashram that offered classes she was initially resistant to but through twists & turns she found herself on a path to understanding yoga as a path to physical & mental well-being & fitness. Liz ultimately began her dedicated yoga practice in 1996. She deepened her practice by studying with teachers who’s practice she respected. In 2004 she began teaching herself. Her training in mat and equipment Pilates supported her practice and also deepened her understanding of functional fitness.

Liz began her study of Thai Massage at the Swedish Institute in New York. Falling in love with the modality and its potential to heal the human body, she went on to study at renowned institutions in Thailand. She fell in love with Buddhism at age 16 and more formally committed to the path in 2004. Liz is dedicated to seeing the world change in ways that are sustainable for us all. And that process, she likes to say, starts now and begins within.

Liz teaches and shares from personal experience. She’s open about her own struggles, and proud of the path she has taken from extremes to nurturing body and spirit back to health.

A Personal Statement

There was a time when I ran so hard from any discomfort I found myself on a constant roller coaster.

I would seek freedom, inspiration, energy, sometimes even health (or, so, I thought) through instant gratification.

But what I saw as the “answer” was leading me farther and farther away from where I wanted to be: in a place where I was happy, joyous and free.
