Lisa was first introduced to yoga by her grandmother in the UK. This sowed the seeds for her regular practise to commence. After graduating from university with an honours degree in food science and microbiology, Lisa’s journey brought her to New
Zealand.
Living rurally on a farm and having started a family, Lisa decided a change in career was needed. Due to a demand for yoga in the community, Lisa started teaching classes in the village hall. This lead to working full time at the local gym in Waipukurau, becoming a personal trainer and Health & Wellness Coach. However, yoga has always remained Lisa’s true love and focus.
Lisa now lives in Havelock North and teaches yoga at Breathe Yoga Studio. When she’s not working, she can be found on her mountain bike checking out the many off- road tracks New Zealand has to offer.
