Lisa Thiel, RYT

Lisa is currently an RYT-200, and was certified in the Brahmrish Yoga Teacher Training program in 2006. She expects to complete her 500 hour level certification sometime in 2009. She has been practicing Hatha Yoga since 1998 under the guideance of a number of well-respected teachers, both locally and nationally. She has studied in a variety of styles, including Brahmrishi, Anusara, Yin Yoga, Iyengar, and Viniyoga.

Through her trainings, she has placed an emphasis on anatomy and the more clinical applications of Yoga and therefore tends to teach mostly in the style of Therapeutic Yoga – a meditative, slower-paced style that focuses on adapting poses and creating variations to meet individual needs.

Lisa believes strongly in incorporating the breath to assist the asanas and to bring a sense of softness and sweetness (sthira) into the practice, and in strengthening the core as the center of our stability (sthira).

In addition to her classes at the Spiritual Life Society, Lisa teaches lunchtime corporate Yoga and private sessions.

Thai Yoga Massage

Lisa is also a Thai Yoga Bodywork practitioner, studying in both Costa Rica and Montreal and mostly in the Lotus Palm tradition.

A great companion to Hatha Yoga, Thai Yoga Massage or Bodywork is a 2,500 year old practice that emphasizes stretching the body and opening the joints. The practitioner places the recipient in various Yoga-inspired postures and helps to encourage the body’s own health and healing.

Jnana Yoga and Bhakti Yoga

Lisa also finds Yoga philosophy a very important part of a complete Yoga practice and regularly attends a meditation and study group that seeks to grasp the commonalities among various traditions (such as Taoism, Yoga, Samkhya, and others).

Lisa views Hatha Yoga as the action of the heart, and Bhakti Yoga (chant) as the sound of the heart. Lisa plays with various local groups and kirtans, including Shantiband and occasionally with Breathing Room.
