Liana Williams

yoga instructor

Liana Williams was born and raised in the PNW and has been practicing yoga since high school, when she first attended a yoga class at her local gym. Her practice grew, finding her working at a family yoga studio in Santa Barbara, California during college.

After moving back to Washington, Liana completed her 200-hour training at Spira Power Yoga under the guidance of Dora Gyarmati in West Seattle. Mindfulness, movement and meditation were the core of Liana’s training and are the foundation for her personal practice and teaching.

Liana has taught classes in a variety of environments, including a karate studio, a bouldering gym and a functional strength training gym. Since that very first yoga class in high school, Liana has believed in practicing and teaching yoga in spaces that support a mindful, accessible and non-judgmental experience.

Liana stumbled upon Source Yoga at four months postpartum in 2021 and has since attended several postnatal series with her two children, who are now 3.5 and 1.5 years old. Taking her newborn to class during a pandemic while struggling with postpartum anxiety was out of her comfort zone, but she is grateful she followed her intuition to sign up, because it introduced her to a community of mothers and teachers who understood her journey.

She is honored to be a part of the prenatal and postnatal team where she can now support mothers in the same way she has been supported, in a community that feels like home.

Liana lives outside of Tacoma with her husband, their two children, and their third wild child, a rescue dog named Neema. She loves writing poetry, singing and playing guitar and piano, traveling, and finding fresh-baked bread and fun cheeses at the farmer’s market.
