Lisa Fischer Before Lisa began practicing yoga, she was a two sport collegiate athlete at a Divison I level, and graduated with a job in the financial industry on the east coast. She turned to yoga as a way to soften her heart, ease her mind, and use the pulsation of breath to find a more natural rhythm that supported her well-being. Inside this more natural rhythm she found the time to pause, breathe, feel and perceive life clearly, and found that the most valuable thing we could ever possess is clearly within our sights: this life itself.

Lisa has completed a 200 hour Vinyasa Flow Teacher Training at Prana Yoga Center, a 200 hour Anusara Yoga Teacher Training with Michael Fukumura, and a Level 2 Teacher Training with Noah Maze.
