With a background in dance she strives to communicate with clarity the transformative power of yoga postures and breath work, whilst respecting the anatomy of the moving human body.

their own yoga so that practice is nurturing and without struggle. Lisa is a BWY accredited teacher and a member of the Association of Independent Yoga Practitioners (AIYP). Her classes include sessions for the over 60s, children in schools and nurseries, and families.Sessions by this Tutor:SESSION C 14/04/2012 12:15PM - 13:45PM.
