Lisa Nelson
With more than a decade of combined practice and teaching experience, Lisa was initially drawn to yoga through the physical practice of asana. She doesn't have a background in athletics or dance, and actually when she started to practice yoga it was because an assessment at her local gym deemed her a 1 out of 5 in the flexibility category. In fact, she couldn't even touch her toes!
One of the most prominent beliefs that she holds as a teacher is that we are first and foremost a student. This belief has led her to complete several teacher trainings across a variety of categories and styles, and continues to do so presently. She loves that courses, such as the ones offered here, are available to be done remotely so that more people have access to education.
Her teaching is completely focused on meeting students where they are at, in the present moment. She believes that with this constant assessment, she is able to help students find the practice that best serves them, as opposed to fitting the student to the practice. When not studying Yoga philosophy, spirituality, or the biomechanics of the human body; she loves to travel the world to experience new places and cultures .
