As of June 18th there will no longer be classes at Chase Farm. It has been glorious as I have taught here for one full year. The views, nature, people, and classes have all been radiant. Being able to convert a master bedroom into a powerful area of serenity and peace has been transformational for me! I consider it my Safe Haven. I thank you all for your support over the past year. Your support by word of mouth and growing classes has moved me beyond words. I want to continue to grow and support the yoga community in New Hampshire. We will end our classes with a bang! We will have Jay Schwed ring us out, if you will, with his magical Crystal Bowl Performance. After the concert on June 18th, I will pack up the yoga studio and hopefully move it somewhere new so I can again transform another place towards having more loving peace. I honor what I am capable of and it may be 6 months to a year before I am able to find that special place. In the meantime, please check back often to keep informed of places I will be teaching. Yoga is an extremely important part of one's life, so please do the best you can to continue some type of yoga practice. It could be to try another studio, rent a DVD, or create a personal practice at home with what you have learned. Mindful sitting each day, movement with breath, and kindful actions towards others are just a few great ways to continue your spiritual journey. ________________________________________________________________________________ I always offer Private Lessons, Home Party Yoga, Family Yoga and Yoga for Kids at the convenience of your own home.
My Mission
Know that with my yoga, the experience you will receive is simple yet so full of meaning.
The joy and peace you experience will extend through to your life and touch it in immeasurable ways.
It isn't about the postures, breath, or meditation alone. It is about how you interpret it all and what to do with that inner knowledge. Every hour transcends you into knowing a more meaningful purpose, no matter how small the change you may feel.

About Me
Lisa is a 200-hour certified yoga instructor, through Lithe & Easy Yoga, with over 7 years combined experience in both teaching and practice.
She began to explore yoga after a car accident left her with multiple pains and weight gain. Yoga immediately helped cope with the day-to-day limited mobility. After a couple of years she was able to fully comprehend how yoga can help anyone and everyone. The slow transition, into this lovely science, all happened while she worked in the corporate world for 8 years. Having experience in the work force stresses and long work hours allows her to bring understanding and compassion into her teaching.
She was able to practice yoga through her 3 pregnancies and thankfully teach through the last. This brings a whole new knowledge and focus on what is needed during pregnancy and the benefits of a good bond during gestation.
Her biggest lesson learned is that the body and mind are limitless, no matter who you are, you just need to modify each practice to suit your own body and its capabilities.
She has studied and taken classes with Erich Schiffmann, Virginia Williamson, Elysabeth Williamson, David Keil, Monica Voss, Govinda Kai, Roy Eugene Davis, Nancy Gilgoff, Cora Wen, Baba Harihar Ramji, Wynne Paris, Girish and many others. She has been able to write an article for Passagemaker as well as present a seminar at the Stuart, FL Trawlerfest on 'Yoga for Boaters'. She is currently working on a manual for new Yoga Teachers and a book about how she transitioned yoga into her life.

Everything and every action have a purpose; it's up to us to find it............. Every experience in life, especially the darkest ones, is a good experience as long as we learn from it. The only bad experiences are the ones from which we fail to learn................ We can achieve anythig we desire in life. The universe will support us in our decision............. Recognize challenges as learning opportunities....... We are free to create a life where anything can and will happen depending on our thoughts, intentions, and efforts.............. How we treat others is our karma; how they react to us is their karma......... Everyone we meet in life is our mirror. We constantly draw people into our lives that we need to learn from, educate, or both.............. The meaning of life is to give life meaning...........
