About Lissy
In 2010, Lissy completed her yoga teacher training at Sadhana Yoga with Sondra Loring in Hudson NY. Since then she has had a robust teaching practice in NYC and leads retreats in the city and in upstate New York. Her practice is rooted in her ongoing yoga studies with her primary teacher Genny Kapular in the Iyengar lineage.
Focusing on alignment and breath, which are among the principles of Iyengar yoga, Lissy is particularly interested in the individual process and offers a spaciousness in classes to explore, especially during retreats,
Before diving deeply into yoga studies, Lissy performed in the downtown modern dance scene for years, working with many wonderful choreographers. While dancing, she pursued a master’s degree in special education with a focus on early childhood development. She also became a licensed acupuncturist and zero balance practitioner. For over thirty years, Lissy has been blessed to be a student and a member of the Pat Hall Caribbean Dance and Movement community.
She applies her extensive knowledge, grounded in movement, clarity of communication, and the principles of traditional healing practices to guide her students towards strengthening the body and calming the nervous system. Our intention is to move and live with ease and grace and be harmonious with ourselves and others in this world.
