Lisa is an exceptional prenatal yoga teacher who truly transforms the pregnancy journey for the mothers she works with. Through her classes, she supports not only physical well-being but also emotional balance and a deeper connection between mother and baby.

I attended Lisa’s prenatal yoga classes during both of my pregnancies, and I can confidently say that my physical discomfort and emotional fluctuations improved significantly. Her calm, serene presence, thoughtful cueing, and genuine care for both moms and their babies make each class feel like a restorative and healing retreat.

I also had the privilege of training under Lisa while completing my prenatal yoga certification. Her depth of knowledge, years of experience, and intentional teaching style played a pivotal role in shaping me into a more confident and well-rounded prenatal yoga instructor.

I wholeheartedly recommend Lisa to any mother, whether in pregnancy or postpartum. She creates a space where you can heal, build strength, and feel deeply supported throughout your pregnancy journey.

“Any space Lisa creates is one you can trust. It’s an experience of connection, understanding, and coming back to yourself.”

Lisa is a truly gifted yoga teacher and space holder. Her depth of knowledge is incredible, but what stands out even more is the way she shares it. You don’t just move through a practice with her; you understand it. You feel it. And you carry it with you long after you leave the mat.

There is a calm, grounded, and deeply nurturing presence about Lisa that makes you feel completely supported in whatever season or space you’re in. She has a way of meeting you exactly where you are while gently guiding you deeper into your own awareness.

I’ve also had the honor of working alongside Lisa in a retreat setting, and the level of intention she brings is unmatched. She thoughtfully curates each experience to align with the energy, needs, and goals of the group, creating a space that feels both expansive and deeply held.

Any space Lisa creates is one you can trust. It’s not just yoga; it’s an experience of connection, understanding, and coming back to yourself.

“Through our work together, I’ve learned how to trust myself again. I’ve made real, lasting changes in my life that felt totally out of reach before.”

I honestly don’t have enough words for how much Lisa Wilson has meant to me. I started working with her after a really traumatic life event, at a time when I was barely holding it together. I was deep in the weeds of PTSD, making huge life changes while just trying to survive. Lisa met me right there with so much compassion, steadiness, and zero judgment.

From the very beginning, she created a space where I felt safe showing up exactly as I was. She’s one of those rare people who just gets it. She listens in this way that makes you feel heard and seen, and she asks the kind of questions that help you cut through the noise and get to the heart of what really matters.

Through our work together, I’ve learned how to trust myself again. I’ve made real, lasting changes in my life, ones that felt totally out of reach before I started coaching with her. Most importantly, I’ve let go of the blame I wore like an overcoat and started to like myself again.

Lisa brings so much warmth and humanity to her work. She’s incredibly inclusive, and I know she coaches people from all different backgrounds and life experiences, from veterans to seniors to new and soon-to-be parents. And still, her approach always feels personal and thoughtful, never one-size-fits-all.

If you are looking for a coach who will meet you with empathy, insight, and genuine support, I cannot recommend Lisa highly enough. Working with her has been one of the most pivotal decisions I’ve ever made, and if you find yourself lucky enough to be working with her, it will be one of yours, too.

Practicing with Lisa Wilson is a deeply transformative experience that extends far beyond the physical. She has a remarkable gift for teaching yoga in a way that feels both grounding and expansive, creating a warm, safe environment for authentic feminine expression through every stage of life.

From prenatal to postpartum and beyond, her classes nurture not only the body, but the soul, offering guidance that is intuitive, compassionate, and profoundly resonant. I have cried many times in her classes as she gives us permission to let go of pain and stress and what no longer serves us. She does that through simple explanations of how the body, mind, and soul are connected while guiding you through yoga poses. It is truly remarkable.

What makes Lisa’s work stand apart, however, is the sense of community she cultivates. It’s a space where women feel seen, supported, and connected. Her voice, her presence, and her wisdom leave a lasting impact that continues well beyond the mat.

“Lisa is not only a remarkable teacher. She is a woman of integrity, depth, and unwavering devotion.”

There are very few people in this lifetime who walk beside you through every meaningful chapter of your becoming. Lisa is one of those rare souls for me.

Since 1999, we have experienced teacher trainings together, and she stepped into work alongside me at Yogani Studios. She became an integral part of the heart and direction of our programming, teaching, supporting, and helping to shape the space with clarity and care. Our professional collaboration grew organically out of a shared vision: that yoga is not just a practice, but a way of being in service to others.

For over 18 years, Lisa has been a devoted and steady presence within the Exalted Warrior Foundation, offering yoga and meditation to veterans and their caregivers with deep compassion and skill. She meets people exactly where they are, with respect, dignity, and genuine care, and carries the essence of yoga not just in how she teaches, but in how she listens, how she holds space, and how she serves. She radiates an intuitive depth, a sincerity, and a devotion to the practice that feels both grounded and expansive.

Lisa’s heart for service extends into every phase of life. She supported my mother during her final years in an assisted living community in South Tampa, bringing comfort, presence, and dignity into that sacred time. It was through this chapter that she began expanding her work with seniors, offering chair yoga and adaptive practices with the same reverence and intentionality she brings to all populations.

We became pregnant around the same time, walking together through the sacred thresholds of motherhood, pregnancy, birth, and the raising of our children. We have witnessed one another in moments of expansion, vulnerability, strength, and surrender. These shared experiences wove a bond between us that goes far beyond friendship. It is sisterhood in its truest form. This began her tremendous programming in caring for women through prenatal and Mommy & Me classes, trainings, and workshops. She is a steward of the human experience for women in all ages and stages.

What moves me most is that through all the seasons we’ve shared, the childbearing years, the striving and building, the losses we’ve endured, including the passing of our parents, and now the witnessing of our children growing into their own lives, we have continued to evolve.

Today, our collaboration feels more meaningful than ever. We are rooted in decades of shared experience, yet still open, curious, and committed to growth. Together, we continue to develop programming and offer support to those who need it most, guided by our love for the ancient traditions of yoga and our belief in its power to heal, connect, and transform.

Lisa is not only a remarkable teacher. She is a woman of integrity, depth, and unwavering devotion.

“Lisa has a remarkable gift for holding space, uplifting women, and helping them reconnect with their own strength.”

Lisa has been such a steady and grounding presence in my life through some of my most transformative seasons. She first supported me during prenatal yoga while I was pregnant with my daughter Charlie, creating a space where I felt strong, calm, and deeply connected. After my daughter was born, Lisa continued to walk alongside me, offering compassionate one-on-one postpartum support, even with my little one in tow, as I navigated the many changes that come with new motherhood.

Beyond yoga, Lisa has helped me find clarity and confidence during a major life transition. After 18 years in the classroom, I stepped away from teaching to build my own tutoring business while embracing life as a stay-at-home mom. Through mindful coaching, encouragement, and her unwavering belief in me, Lisa helped me trust myself and find my confidence as I pivoted toward this new chapter.

Now, more than a year into postpartum, her weekly classes continue to make me feel seen, supported, and renewed. Lisa has a remarkable gift for holding space, uplifting women, and helping them reconnect with their own strength. Any woman fortunate enough to attend her retreat will be in incredibly capable and caring hands. I am so happy that after so many years of dreaming, planning, and working, Lisa is opening up this beautiful opportunity for women.

“At the end of the class, I felt better prepared to teach a yoga class to older adults. I highly recommend this class!”

Lisa is an excellent teacher. Teaching yoga to older adults requires creativity to adapt the poses to meet their needs. Lisa’s class gave excellent suggestions and time to explore different ways to practice and cue poses and flows. Her feedback is supportive and encouraging. Her booklet is a great tool to be used again and again. At the end of the class, I felt better prepared to teach a yoga class to older adults. I highly recommend this class!
