About

Lisa’s mission is to educate and share the benefits of slow, mindful yoga as an antidote to modern-day stressors. By the way, ‘slow’ does not necessarily mean easy! Nourished Yoga was built on the foundations of inclusive, accessible yoga for busy men and women who seek a sanctuary of community support and tools to alleviate stress. We are also fortunate to offer a crèche for weekday morning classes too for busy parents.

Leading a busy and full life can sometimes result in a feeling of being constantly overwhelmed, anxious, time-poor, irritable, fatigued and/or living with chronic illness. By slowing down and learning relevant skills we may bring awareness to our challenges and our values and can then build a toolbox of simple, practical skills to support ourselves.

Lisa is a ‘why’ person. Having practiced yoga for over two decades it was no longer enough for her to just feel good after a class, she needed to dig deeper and find out how and why. Lisa embarked on an RYT200 teacher training and began life-long learning in the field of wellness and yoga. “It is truly an exciting time as Western science meets ancient Eastern health practices. My vision is to integrate yoga into the future of mainstream health care protocols.”

The result is that her evidence-informed classes are drawn from a deep well of over 20 years of practice & study. Lisa’s students say that they feel less stressed, more calm and peaceful, have fewer aches and pains, and feel more in touch with themselves. 

Lisa has had extensive training with industry experts in:
