| Lisa Berns |
Yoga |
 |
Lisa began to practice yoga in 2006 after the birth of her children, initially for the physical benefits, however, she unexpectedly found that yoga helped her connect with her spiritual center and develop tools necessary for a healthy way of life such as inner strength and peace, clarity, calmness, self awareness and an open heart. To deepen her passion for yoga, in 2010, Lisa studied under Tami Schneider and completed her certification through Cleveland Yoga. “I believe strongly in the saying that we teach best what we most need to learn.” Her teaching style is fun, invigorating, challenging yet empowering. Her hope is to facilitate her enthusiasm for a healthy mind and body through yoga. Lisa, a native of University Heights, is grateful and inspired by her many amazing teachers which include her husband, Justin and her 3 children; son, Caleb and twin daughters, Allie and Sarah. |
