Mind Oasis Meditation Classes

Lisa has had a passion for movement, health and wellness for as long as she can remember. While working for over 20 years in the corporate world in marketing and branding, she taught fitness classes and became a personal trainer in her “free” time.  She first came to Yoga from a physical approach, and she fell in love with the way it made her and her students feel—physically, emotionally, and energetically. She was compelled to dig deeper into studies, expanding her practice and teaching to all of the limbs of Yoga, and currently is enjoying delving into the meditative inquiry of Yoga Nidra, a wonderfully relevant application of an ancient meditation. 

As she continued her studies, Lisa sensed that Yoga could be applied to everything, even business. With her own small business Being Well Yoga, she brings yoga and mindfulness programs on-site to companies to help employees learn how to live healthier, more balanced lives. She loves bringing Yoga everywhere-- studios, conferences, schools, senior centers, parks, and private homes, and now streams virtual classes as well. She gets great fulfillment from taking her teaching to international retreats and watching the magic of the practice enhance the lives of her participants.

Lisa’s approach is balanced and she likes to bring mindfulness, humor, challenge, and deep relaxation into all of her practices. She considers herself a “practical yogini” focused on how students can take Yoga off the mat and into their lives.

Lisa is especially interested in helping students find a yoga practice that really works for them, and she believes that yoga can provide more ease and comfort to all. Lisa loves helping people explore how to incorporate mindful habits and practices into their daily lives in a fun and sustainable way. Her favorite thing is hearing about the positive changes her participants make for themselves.  

Lisa is also the author of a book, A Year of Mindful Wellness, in which she shares accessible practices and habits to weave mindfulness into your daily life. This is a product of the mindfulness education she does for companies to help employees work well and BE well.

Lisa, MBA, RYT-500, E-RYT-200, incorporates many yoga traditions into her practices. She has certifications in Hatha, Hatha Flow, Kundalini, and I-rest Yoga Nidra. She has had the opportunity to study with Donna Farhi, Sean Corne, Sarah Powers, Anodea Judith, Beth Shaw, Amy Weintraub, Gary Kraftsow, and Richard Miller. She recently completed her iRest certification, so that she can help people more deeply tune in to their true nature and find peace, calm, and relaxation. All of her wonderful teachers have shared wisdom that informs her teaching, and she is grateful to them all.

Lisa lives and teaches in Austin, Texas with her husband Seth, and her dog Lucy. For more information about Lisa, please visit her website.
