Going a little deeper
Alongside her work, Lisa is a wife and Mama to two glorious, energetic boys, and now resides in Spain. She loves to cook, take walks in nature, read and has a new found hobby of gardening, which is truly nourishing the quieter side of life from having 2 children!
Lisa believes that beyond the physical yoga practice there is an opportunity to find self empowerment, a mindset to help find belief in oneself and the chance to help cultivate movement, stillness and connection to breath. Her mission is to help to create this energy to the people of today, the workaholics, the parents with no time for themselves, the any excuse not to do it crowd through super easy accessible rituals and powerful manifestation ceremonies, transforming their limiting beliefs into positive ways of living.
