"Lisa, Thank you so much for your teaching training weekend at Shakti. I continue to be so impressed by your teaching and this was an opportunity to experience it at a much deeper level. I definitely experienced “some positive shifts” over the weekend and I would like to express my gratitude for creating the environment, intention, and energy for that to happen. Your presence, energy, voice, enthusiasm and experience exemplify what “a true teacher” looks like and it is a very clear example of what we can strive for--thank you for that!"
--Karen (2010 Teacher Training participant)

"I have been dedicated to my own yoga practice for many years. The Baptiste flow just seems to mold to my body, my breath, my own moving meditation. It all came to fruition when I attended Teacher Training with Lisa and Peter. I had an epiphany that teaching this style of yoga was my calling -- I owe it to my teachers, Lisa, Peter, and all the beautiful yogis and yoginis that were there with me. Less than a year later, I have been participating in the Teacher Mentorship Program and the magic continues to unfold. It is a gift to see students in each new INTRO series go from being timid about yoga, their bodies, and breath, and step onto to their mats and find their own power in their practice in just 8 classes. I love it when I see students continue on the mat next to me after INTRO!" -Valerie
