Lisa came to Bali sixteen years ago following a relationship separation, looking for a fresh start. She found her happy place and never really left.

Her yoga journey began with Vinyasa, coming from a background of weight training. As she advanced and her body began asking for something different, she discovered Iyengar yoga and found the approach she had always been looking for: precise, deeply intelligent, and endlessly layered. She has been on that path ever since, and it has completely changed the way she looks at life itself.

With over twenty years of experience and more than 1,500 hours of formal training, Lisa is an E-RYT 500 with Yoga Alliance and a certified Level 1 Iyengar yoga teacher, currently halfway through her two-year full-time training for Level 2 certification. She has taught across Nepal, India, the Philippines, Australia, and Bali, bringing her practice to students from all walks of life.

What drives her is simple: the belief that yoga is a lifelong commitment and a never-ending journey of learning. Through it she has found a way to live that has transformed how she sees everything. Teaching, for Lisa, is the chance to help others better enjoy this life journey, and that possibility is what keeps her on the mat and in the classroom day after day.

At PONO she teaches Iyengar yoga, working with students to develop a kinder, more conscious relationship with their bodies and a genuine connection between mind, body, and soul.
