A lifelong love of movement.
Movement has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I loved swimming and dancing, which gave me strong foundations and an enjoyment of being active. It has always been in me to move, and to get people moving.
Since qualifying in 1996, I’ve taught thousands of classes over 30 years, helping people feel comfortable and confident in how they move, with clear guidance and care for good technique. In 2011, I began training in yoga, drawn to a slower pace that would bring balance to my higher intensity fitness classes.
Some members have been coming to my classes since I first qualified. Sharing movement over so many years, and welcoming new faces along the way, has created a warm, supportive community. Friendships have grown, familiar faces make newcomers feel welcome, and coming to class has become as much about connection as it is about movement.
Over the years, I’ve come to appreciate the mental space movement can offer, too. Whether through the energy of a fitness class, the focus of building strength or a quiet moment to breathe and stretch, each brings something different. My teaching brings these elements together, with space to find your own pace.
Testimonials
“I don’t know how long it is I’ve been coming to your classes, but you never cease to amaze me with how varied and innovative they always are. I’ve had many yoga teachers over the years that I’ve been attempting to master yoga, and you are just the best (and without resorting to notes which many do!)”.
“Thirty years as an instructor is such an incredible achievement, but I think what makes it truly special is that you are so much more than ‘just an instructor’. Over the years, you have become a friend, a confidante, a counsellor and a source of comfort, encouragement, and support to so many. You bring people together, create a sense of belonging and make a difference in people’s lives that goes far beyond the yoga mat”.
“It’s hard to put into words just how much Lisa’s yoga and flexible strength classes have helped me. In an intense job, her classes have helped me hugely - physically, mentally, emotionally and socially. Lisa is always willing to listen and help us improve and is patient, friendly, approachable and supportive. The classes have a huge benefit for fitness and wellbeing in general. They are also great fun. In addition, I’ve forged strong and long lasting friendships. Thank you
