Livinleggings

Liv Townsend, recognized online as Livinleggings, began her journey into yoga in 2015. Inspired by a post on Instagram showcasing a 3-leg Downward Dog, she started self-teaching and immersing herself in yoga practices. This initial curiosity evolved into a dedicated pursuit, leading her to formal qualifications. In 2016, she completed a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training course in London. Further expanding her knowledge and teaching capabilities, Liv undertook Rocket & Vinyasa Training in 2020 and a substantial 500 hours of training in 2021 with Jason Crandell. Her instructional approach integrates principles from various disciplines, including resistance training, gymnastics, martial arts, and calisthenics, contributing to her unique ‘Yoga Rebel Method’.

Transitioning from self-study to a professional instructor and influencer, Liv developed a significant online presence. She has accumulated over 306,000 followers on Instagram and her yoga class tutorials on YouTube have garnered more than 882,000 views. Her platform, The Yoga Rebel Studio, offers a blend of mobility exercises, strength training, and yoga, tailored to help individuals increase mobility, build functional strength, enhance flexibility, boost self-confidence, and prevent injuries. Her teaching style focuses on breaking down complex postures into accessible steps and promotes an inclusive environment, aiming to remove judgment often associated with yoga practices. Her work has been instrumental in helping individuals achieve physical and mental well-being, evidenced by positive feedback from her community.

Liv is the author of “The Yoga Handbook: A Guide to Yoga Asana,” an e-book designed to guide individuals in learning yoga asana and practicing with confidence. Her ‘Yoga Rebel Method’ features various programs, including LIFT, a mobility-focused strength training series; Fast Flexibility, a program utilizing scientifically studied stretching techniques; Sculpt, which combines high-intensity strength training with yoga; and The Handstand Plan, a 30-day program for beginners to master handstands. These programs, accessible via Apple, Android, desktop, and tablet, allow members to train anywhere, anytime, supported by a community and Liv’s ongoing guidance.
