Liya Garber
Founder of Aura
After struggling in an unfulfilled life as a business executive in New York City, Liya embarked on her yoga journey to pursue self-healing, and the astonishing results kept her from ever looking back, even restoring her thyroid autoimmunity through a combination of Kundalini Yoga and the aid of experienced naturopaths.
Since then, she’s been dedicated to creating a sacred space for humankind to expand their consciousness and connect the dots between mind, body, and spirit.
Liya has a rare gift for teaching and establishing a joyful, lighthearted environment filled with laughter in which all students can align with their inner truths.
Her studies have taken her all around the world from Guatemala to India, bringing her weekly classes, retreats, and workshops all over prominent venues across the Bay Area. Since 2020, upon founding Aura Kundalini Yoga, she has continued to take her authentic and progressive approach to her inquisitive students both locally in Northern California & internationally.
