Lisa’s Yin classes focus on affecting the flow of chi energy through the meridians (similar to acupuncture) by the use of long-held, passive asanas (poses). Yin poses are floor poses that work to stretch the connective tissue of the body. Yin Yoga is a form of yoga that is available to all regardless of age, body type, athletic ability, etc. Lisa has people of all ages, athletic abilities, and shapes and sizes as well as walks of life in her classes.  She appreciates the opportunity to work with a variety of people. Modifications and props are used to help all body types achieve the Yin postures. Lisa incorporates the use of Buddhist Mindfulness Meditation techniques into all her classes. 
Lisa's Restorative classes are similar to her Yin classes in that poses are held for extended periods of time. The main difference being the use of props to support the body for deep relaxation instead of stimulating energy flow. Both types of classes are excellent ways to relax and calm the nervous system and offer an important balance to a fast-paced, busy life.
