Lisa
After 35 years of dance training and practice, Lisa found her way to yoga during the early months of the pandemic. In those first days of practice, she discovered her yoga mat as a safe haven and refuge that not only offered a way to explore a new arena of physical practice, but also brought quietude and strength to a season of external chaos. In 2023, Lisa completed the year-long yoga teacher training program at Circle Yoga and became certified to teach through Yoga Alliance. Her classes are informed by a dancer’s sensibility toward movement and flow, as well as by her embodied knowledge of and ongoing curiosity about biomechanics and physiology. She works to create multi-layered practices that offer entry-points for many types of students, and to foster a community environment that is supportive, collaborative, and a little playful.
Lisa holds a BA in creative writing from Carnegie Mellon University and an MFA in dance from The Ohio State University. Her professional background includes five years as a company dancer for Laboratory Company Dance (LABCO) in Pittsburgh, PA, and three years teaching in the dance program at Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti, MI. She shares life with her husband and two daughters in a semi-urban neighborhood, surrounded by an aspiring native-plant garden, an urban zoo of wild rabbits, carpenter bees and mockingbirds, and a gaggle of neighborhood children climbing her crepe myrtle tree.
Studio Waiver
As the student taking classes or workshops at the studio, via livestream or by video (the “Classes”) with Circle Yoga Cooperative (CYC), I understand that the Classes include physical movements and exertion. As is the case with any physical activity, the risk of injury, even serious or disabling, is always present and cannot be entirely eliminated. I understand that it is my responsibility to consult with a physician prior to and regarding my participation in the Classes. I represent that I am in good health and physical condition and I have no medical condition which would prevent my full participation in the Classes. In addition, when in the Classes, I will make the instructor aware of any medical conditions or physical limitations before class begins. If I am pregnant, become pregnant, or I am post-natal or post-surgical, my signature below verifies that I have my physician’s approval to participate. In consideration of being permitted to participate in the Classes I agree to assume full responsibility for any risks, injuries, or damages, known or unknown, which I might incur as a result of participating in the program. In further consideration of being permitted to participate in the Classes, I expressly irrevocably release and waive any claims that I have now or may have hereafter for any reason against Circle Yoga LLC, its owners, employees, and independent contractors, for injury or damages that I may sustain as a result of participating in a Class.
Photos: I may be photographed while at the studio and these photographs may appear in CYC promotional materials unless otherwise specified. No person whose photograph is used will be identified by name, nor will any compensation be extended for such use.
