I am passionate about teaching with clarity and compassion and believe that yoga is accessible to everyone. Always inspired by movement, my yoga classes aim to encourage serenity, space and stability in the body and mind.
YOGA CLASSES

PRIVATE YOGA CLASSES
Yoga is for everyone. In a private session, each class is tailored to your specific needs and goals. Whether you are a beginner or looking to develop and strengthen your existing practice, private yoga sessions allow students to ask questions and cultivate their own practice. Contact Lisa to schedule your first lesson at your home, office or a studio location. |
VINYASA FLOW YOGA
Vinyasa Flow involves movement on the breath. There is an initial focus on connecting with the breath and using that to support the postures. As the class progresses, the postures are linked together in a sequence and then practiced on the breath. Students will build strength, flexibility, muscle tone, balance and mindfulness. I believe that practicing yoga with a mindfulness of the breath helps to create freedom and flexibility in the body. |
HOT STUDIO VINYASA FLOW
Students can expect all the elements of a Vinyasa Flow class with the added intensity of a heated studio. Classes are 70 minutes in duration. |
YOGA WORKSHOPS
ESSENTIALS: YOGA FOUNDATIONS
This workshop is a must for anyone new to yoga and highly recommended for experienced students alike. You will develop a better awareness of your postural patterns and, therefore, get the most out of your regular yoga classes.
We will break down the basics and show you how you can progress, giving you the tools to safely develop your yoga practice. Learn to be strong and confident that you are doing each pose correctly, with advice and techniques to help you progress.
You'll have a chance to ask questions and receive individual feedback on your practice. You will be taught uijayi breath and how to correctly use your core muscles during your practice. The extra time will allow you to get a better understanding of how to match your breath with your movement. You'll learn how to adapt poses to suit you and your body.
Going slower means getting stronger! Learn how to make it all feel easier, to balance effort with surrender, holding on to what is helpful and letting go of the rest.

SEQUENCING A YOGA CLASS: A WORKSHOP FOR TEACHERS
CONTINUING EDUCATION SERIES
Developing new sequencing techniques allows us to keep yoga interesting, evolving and sustainable. This workshop will explore methods of developing a theme or reason for sequencing a class or practice.
This is a workshop aimed at yogis interested in furthering their yoga education and developing a daily practice. There is some focus on teaching skills which you can put into practice if you are a qualified teacher, or transfer to your personal practice. If you’re a teacher, these hours are eligible towards your required Continuing Education hours with Yoga Alliance.
Moving beyond our 200hr training, it can be a struggle to keep things interesting. Initially, the standard sequences act to protect us and our students while we learn and gain experience and a deeper understanding. As we develop, we naturally want to broaden our practice and break out of the routine, and to be able to tune our sequences to the needs of our bodies and our students. To do so effectively requires more than just a broadening of our yoga knowledge. From forward folds to backbends and everything in between, sometimes it can be difficult to know what is the best and safest why to plan a class or your practice. Being able to construct a class or a practice to suit a mood, a particular person or a varied group is a skill.
Sequencing is both an art and a science, much like yoga itself. It requires a visceral understanding of whatever it is being presented, and a real sense of economy in movement. Expect insightful advice, opportunity to discuss a variety of ideas with other students and test out different sequence methods. Learn to develop sequences that create balance in the body through the development of strength and flexibility, and to tailor a practice to the strengths and goals that matter most.

OPEN YOUR HEART TO DEEPER BACKBENDS
There are many ‘ways in’ to practicing back bends. This workshop will provide a platform to ask questions and build on your practice whatever your level is now. Physically, we will focus on opening the front of the body (specifically the quadriceps and the hip-flexors), stabilising and opening the shoulders and upper back and strengthening the core to support the spine. We will encourage the body to open evenly letting go of fears, expectations and limitations.
This is an open level workshop for students who practice regularly and are looking for techniques to come into Urdhva Dhanurasana (wheel pose) and for those who want to discover the component parts of more challenging back bends.
