ABOUT LISA

A yogi and mediator for nearly two decades, with over 20,000 hours of teaching experience, Lisa is an experienced instructor who has inspired many to become devoted practitioners and to train with her to become yoga teachers.

Lisa co-founded two major Yoga/Wellness centers in Nassau County, first in 2003 Om Sweet Om Yoga in Port Washington, and more recently, in 2012 she founded PRACTICE. Then in 2016 PRACTICE was gifted to Northwell Health in Roslyn, New York, and renamed The Center for Wellness and Integrative Medicine, where she is currently the director of yoga and teacher training.

Lisa’s teaching style is masterful and empowering. She challenges all her students to move beyond the bounds of the mind and expand into an experience of authenticity and self-realization. Her intention and expertise lie in her ability to lead students on a healing, transformational journey – body, mind, and soul.

My Thoughts on Yoga

I find my heart can hold so much. 
It’s a big room! 
Grief. Gratitude. 
And everything in between. 
Confusion. Clarity. 
Despair. Hope.
Joy. Depression.
Laughter. Tears.
Fear. Love.
Anger. Kindness. 

Yoga Practice helps me to feel through it all. 
And clears a way through to live in the present moment. 
Free to appreciate all that is. 
Now. 
I can’t live without it. 
It is a healing for me every damn day☺️ 
A healing that I am grateful to share. I hope to see you soon on the mat. 🙏❤️
