Lisa was introduced to Yoga back in college while attending the University of Vermont. She recalls first being intrigued by Nataragasana, Dancer Pose, and later so much more. After practicing yoga for several years thereafter, she decided to leave the corporate world and begin a whole new journey. She became an avid student of David Swenson, Scott Blossom, Larissa Carlson, Sarah Powers, Donna Farhi, Coby Kozlowski and the whole Kripalu lineage, later completing 500 Hours in both Kripalu Yoga and Ayurvedic Yoga. Lisa began teaching in 1999 after her second child, Haley, was born. Being a former expat, she was fortunate to take her teachings and practice globally. Throughout the years, Lisa was exposed to different cultures, styles and languages. One might call her teaching eclectic, threading Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Kripalu, Yin and Ayurvedic Yoga into her classes. As an Ayurvedic Health Counselor, and student of Vedic Astrology, she also enjoys weaving these ancient traditions into her teaching. She is excited to be back in New England, dancing into a new phase of her life and having the opportunity to share the gifts of Yoga, Ayurveda and Vedic Astrology with the Portsmouth Yoga Community.
