Hi, I'm Liisa, and my life has been one of constant motion. I found
yoga while seeking a way to focus that kinetic energy towards a place
of joy and contentment. A lifelong dancer, I bring grace to my
practice, combined with the athleticism of a gymnast and the spirit of
several traditions of yoga.
Never a competition, my practice is open and welcoming, vibrant and fun. I encourage my students to trade the fear of "I can't" for the curiosity of "What if" to reveal their brilliance, and to come home to joy.
When I'm not on my yoga mat, you'll likely find me dancing Lindy Hop with my favourite dance partner, Bill, my husband, my true love.

Special thanks to Dr. Jeffrey Trinka, of Goodyear Chiropractic for the generous donation of mats and blankets for our outreach programs.

I'm open for YOU. Let me tailor a session to meet your needs. What does your body want? What does your spirit desire?
Liisa is a certified yoga instructor, registered with Yoga Alliance, best known for her unique blend of grace, athleticism, and humour on and off her yoga mat. She is respected for her clear and precise instructions, whilst also weaving yoga tradition, Sanskrit translation, Hindu mythology, human anatomy, medical findings, and the occasional amusing anecdote into her teaching. As a lifelong dancer and a trained gymnast, she is intensely interested in the structure and mechanics of the body, and how movement affects mind and spirit. Her experience as a trainer, public speaker, and choreographer combine to make her classes flow.
Liisa teaches over 1000 hours per year, currently at five locations around Phoenix, Arizona. Serving yoga practitioners of all levels of experience and ability, her classes reflect the integration of many styles of yoga, and are always non-competitive, welcoming, vibrant and fun. She has been instrumental in developing and sustaining a yoga outreach program, allowing Phoenix's homeless population to participate in weekly no-cost yoga and meditation practices with qualified teachers. She is also an IDEA Health & Fitness Association Member, a licensed ZUMBA® instructor, and a member of the ZUMBA® Instructor Network.
Liisa & her husband, Bill, are specialists in Partner Yoga, teaching several workshops a year together to help share the physical and emotional benefits of yoga, and the further gifts of building connection and trust working with a partner. When they are not on their yoga mats, you'll likely find Liisa & Bill wherever there is music, enthusiastically dancing the Lindy Hop or engaged in a sultry Argentine Tango. They regularly perform at numerous concerts, benefits, and events, including Scottsdale Fashion Week, The Whisky A Go Go in Hollywood, and in a major motion picture. The couple recently opened their new Brilliant Yoga home studio for classes and private lessons in yoga and dance, and will be hosting a week-long yoga holiday in Italy in July 2012.
