Lisa Sandquist

Lisa began practicing yoga over eight years ago and it quickly became a crucial counterbalance to the stress and rigors of selling technology to Fortune 500 companies throughout the country. It became a tool of transformation for her, deepening her awareness for her highest potential.

Lisa likes to combine dynamic and static poses in her classes and focuses on developing the breath and calming the mind. In addition to teaching healthy, active students, Lisa regularly works with students who suffer from chronic pain, injuries, and/or postoperative conditions.Ú She feels it is important to give as much individual instruction as possible while at the same time building positive group energy.

She is most influenced by the Anusara, Iyengar, and Viniyoga traditions and has been blessed to study with many Master Teachers including John Friend, Gabriel Halpern, Judith Lasater, and Mark Whitwell.

Lisa studied art history at Northwestern University and has traveled extensively throughout the world. She particularly loves Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. In addition to yoga and traveling, she also likes to read, cycle, and hike.
