Lisa is a Registered Nurse who has worked in Intensive Care, Progressive Care and Cardiology. Lisa was also a Group Fitness Leader for over 20 years. Her passion to help heal the heart led her to Anusara Yoga® where she has received her accreditation as an Anusara–inspired yoga teacher. Lisa has been practicing yoga for nearly 10 years and has received 4 years of Anusara Yoga teacher training and study under the loving guidance of her mentor and certified Anusara Yoga teacher, Isaac and his wife Diana, to whom she offers her love and boundless gratitude. Furthermore, Lisa has had the privilege to study extensively in the science of yoga under the internationally known, spiritually inspiring founder of Anusara Yoga®, John Friend, to whom she holds in her heart an abundance of gratitude. Her studies with John have focused on asana alignment, biomechanics, and modification with use of props, the use of the breath, postural sequencing and therapeutics. In 2006, in Park City Utah, Lisa was chosen from over a thousand applicants to be among an elite group of worldwide teachers to participation in intensive teacher training with John Friend.

She has several hours of study with Doug Keller, international author and teacher on several respected books on therapy, pranayama, and spiritual philosophy. Lisa feels teaching yoga is one of the greatest and most honorable services you can render, to help someone relieve their suffering and rediscover happiness and love in life is one of the greatest possible rewards.
