She has been practicing and studying yoga since 1985 and has been teaching throughout her home town of Marquette, MI since 2008. Lisa’s yoga offerings come from a deeply embodied personal practice. In her yoga therapy practice she specializes in helping clients find relief from stress, anxiety and autoimmune challenges because these conditions are reflective of her own journey. In her group classes, Lisa strives to offer practices that embrace the entire system of yoga as described by Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras because they provide a beautiful, complete and systematic roadmap to self-actualization.
