Lisa received a BFA in dance at University of California and studied therapeutic massage in Santa Barbara before settling in the D.C. area for a professional career as a dancer and mother of four children. She discovered yoga in 1990 and began incorporating it into her therapeutic movement and dance classes. From 1996 to 1999 Lisa reached out to a larger community by directing the wellness component of a national at-risk youth program before deciding to focus exclusively on teaching the art of yoga.
