Owner - Lisa was born and raised in New Jersey. She was first introduced to yoga at 18 years old at a local yoga studio that she attended. She gravitated towards the sense of being present and enjoyed the connectedness she felt on the mat. She carried yoga with her throughout her years; taking a class here and there, all while being a 4th grade teacher for 10 years, getting married and growing her family. After having her second child and leaving her job as an educator, Lisa passed a yoga studio down the block from her house for about a year before finally dusting off her yoga mat walking into the studio. Lisa then became a regular at classes throughout the wonderful studios of Bergen County. While deepening her practice and learning as much as she could about the poses and origins of yoga, Lisa found out about Juluka offering a 200 hour teacher training. She had just applied for a Master’s program, but after much deliberation, decided that yoga was where she wanted to put her time and energy. Thanks to the supportive guidance of Mandy Grant and Soo Yoon, Lisa gained so much insight, joy, understanding and community. Lisa looks at yoga as a way to relieve stress and a physical workout. Lisa enjoys designing creative flows and sequences in her classes with the intention of leaving her students feeling challenged AND successful. Lisa has found that her personal yoga practice has grown from a physical practice on her mat to a practice that impacts her life in every way. Lisa is a full time mom, wife and yogi. If she is not running around after her two sons, you will find Lisa exploring the newest restaurant in Bergen County, next to you at the yoga studio, walking her pup Teddy or enjoying time with her family. What you will encounter at Lisa’s class? A good playlist, fun flows, a chance to challenge yourself, and the joy of feeling yourself breathe. Stay on your mat- it will always lead to more. Lisa is an 200-hour Certified RYT with the Yoga Alliance.
