Elizabeth Ren

Instructor

The Center Yoga Collective

Ren Oliver began practicing yoga in 2011 with Suzanne Perrine while transitioning into single motherhood and found that it offered a steadiness and a grace that carried itself with her far beyond the mat. She became a registered yoga teacher (RYT-200) in 2019 and believes that yoga should be served in a non-judgmental, resiliency-building, and heart-centered environment. Her classes often incorporate thoughtful sequencing with breathwork and meditation to help facilitate a connection to the physical and spiritual self. She loves all styles of yoga but personally practices vinyasa flow and hatha yoga in her home practice and with her teachers.Ren is a graduate with an MBA from James Madison University and has a strong appreciation for the pursuit of design, creative thinking, and art in all forms. She is a professional development specialist at JMU and is currently pursuing her Warriors at Ease yoga certification.Ren is the mother of three children and wife to one pretty amazing dude.“Balance, flexibility, strength: these are the things we practice on the mat; life balance, situational flexibility, strength of character: these are the things we take with us off the mat.” – Ren “Balance, flexibility, strength: these are the things we practice on the mat; life balance, situational flexibility, strength of character: these are the things we take with us off the mat.” – Ren
