Lisa finished the program with over 280 hour of training during an eighteen month period. The style of Yoga that she teaches is Samatva. Samatva means an inner state of harmony and balance. Lisa teaches to find release of the muscle and never force a stretch which is all about balance. Lisa also integrates the Pranayama (breath work) into all the yoga she teaches. My philosophy when Lisa teaches is: "This is your yoga , I am just here as a guide and that you should never feel pain."
