Elizabeth Topp is a Clinical Psychologist and the creator of The Yoga Beam. A devoted yoga student since 1997, Elizabeth began teaching yoga in 2005, launching the yoga and meditation program at Shutters on the Beach & Hotel Casa del Mar hotels in Santa Monica, California. 

As a former athlete, Elizabeth fell in love with yoga and its introduction to a different approach to embodiment, fitness, and vitality. When a friend heard a childhood story about her dad making her a balance beam in junior high, it inspired the next generation prototype. Elizabeth quickly jumped back up on the beam and began to choreograph the unique sequences of Yoga Beam taught today.

Elizabeth is also an Inner Development Goals Ambassador, B Corp founder, Cross-cultural Trainer, Executive Coach, and the creator of Presence Coaching, a mindfulness-based personal growth and transformation program.  (www.MODbenefit.com). She has designed yoga teacher training curriculum and taught Yoga Philosophy, Lifestyle and Ethics courses. As a mind/body practitioner she studied the application of ancient Ayurvedic holisitc healing techniques, a similar but different aspect of Yoga, the Science of Life.
