Hi, I’m Liselle!

(Think Giselle but with an “L”) I found yoga for the same reason many people find yoga - to reconnect with myself.

I’ve spent the last 20 years as a professional dancer and in 2016, I was involved in a car accident that left me unable to dance for months. The physical trauma from the accident and the emotional trauma from a recent uncoupling had left me feeling so disconnected that I needed something to help me re-align and come back to myself. Cue the chiropractor with the free membership to the local yoga studio.

I started going to the yoga studio every day, sometimes even twice a day. I fell in love with everything about it - the sense of support from a community even though they barely knew me, the space to listen in and process my emotions through physical movement, and the freedom to show up exactly how I am, the good, the bad, and everything in between.

I loved the relationship I was developing with myself and noticing how it positively impacted my relationships, I decided I wanted to create that for others. So in 2017 I decided to expand my passion for movement and received my 200 hr TT. Since then I’ve taught over 1,000 classes across San Francisco, Denver, New York, and now San Diego.

I believe that consciously creating connections with ourselves and others can help us to see ourselves and the whole, wonderful beings that we are and I want to hold that space for you - to come back to yourself and discover the powerful things that can happen when you listen in, think less, and feel more.
