About this episode's guest: Lisa Weller’s teaching is rooted in the sacred practice of coming home to oneself. Her classes offer a grounded, nurturing space where students are invited to deepen their inner awareness and feel supported. Physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Drawing from her strong foundation in Hatha yoga, Lisa honours traditional teachings. While weaving in the wisdom of Yin (Chinese medicine and myo-fascial release), Restorative yoga, and pre/postnatal support. Through intentional, meditative movement and breath, Lisa guides students to explore their unique bodies, honour skeletal variation, and cultivate self-trust. Whether holding a deeply restorative posture or flowing mindfully through asana, her essence is to create space for presence, calm, and deep connection. Beyond the mat.
