Yoga Instructor

Lisa, a Southern California native, has always lived an active lifestyle that is synonymous with California. It was on the west coast where she made the decision to get certified as a fitness instructor and ended up teaching a variety of classes at local gyms. She enjoyed teaching, but loved knowing that she played a part in helping her students stay healthy.

 

A career move brought her to the East Coast, and in 2009, Lisa found yoga when a neighbor asked her to go to a heated yoga class. She almost passed out from the heat, but she eventually loved the way it made her feel! A consistent yoga practice started to develop for her as she became drawn to the peace and centering it brought to her life. She embraced the part of yoga beyond the physical practice; the mental and emotional benefits were what she was looking for all along. In 2016, Lisa became certified through a local yoga studio and is a 200hr RYT with Yoga Alliance. Soon after graduation, she started teaching seasonal classes on Lake Quinsigamond. She is also certified in Xen Strength Yoga®.

​

When Lisa is off her mat, she enjoys living the lake life in Shrewsbury with her husband Jeff and fur-kid, a Chocolate lab named Rufus. She leads an active lifestyle that includes hiking, kayaking, and surfing. She loves adventure, and travels any chance she gets; experiencing different cultures and exploring cities like she is a local is a true passion of hers.
