Lisa – The Wildcalm
Our gorgeous Yoga Teacher Lisa is a lover of expression – of body and mind – dancing for pleasure and exploring the body’s capability to bring freedom and joy combined with an ever curious interest of the human condition; Lisa embarked upon a deep-rooted relationship with yoga and meditation.
Learning from teachers around the globe, Lisa’s passion and captivation kept on growing pulling me in deeper.
Many years later, an illness left me fighting for my life in a coma. During the following months of rehabilitation, I gently returned to my practice which gifted me a strength to anchor to as I felt lost and scared;
life as I once knew it was never the same.
Lisa’s decision to train as a yoga teacher in 2014 was born out of the moments of hopelessness and angst that were transformed into optimism and peace by the ancient teachings that are so prevalent to this day.
Initially drawn to the creativity and flow of Vinyasa Yoga and travelled to India to complete 500 hours of advanced teacher trainings.
The following year Lisa enrolled on a course to teach Yin Yoga and Mindfulness Meditation.
Lisa discovered Tantra while visiting South India and began to study this beautiful tradition that seemed somehow to reawaken what she already knew. A year after that Lisa found herself on the oldest volcano in Ecuador studying Shamanism and Tantric Yoga.
Lisa – the wildcalm is a merger of experiences and trainings in yoga, meditation, mindfulness, spirituality, psychology, astrology, mythology, sensuality, music and dance.
I believe that every experience we have is sacred. the wildcalm reflects the beauty and expansion of expression and pleasure
