An actor, mover and dedicated breather, the moment I was introduced to yoga, I knew it was for me.  I came to yoga shortly after I discovered pilates, and found I was able to use both to correct and improve different physical issues, including scoliosis and chronic headaches.  For a long while I practiced both, but yoga won my heart.  I graduated from Sonic Yoga’s 200 hour Teacher Training program, Hathavidya’s 1000 hour program, and continue to study in a traditional one-to-one setting.  I am a Registered Yoga Teacher with Yoga Alliance, E-RYT 500 as well as Pre-Natal RYT, a certified Holistic Health Coach, and the director of 200 hour Teacher Training for Hathavidya in addition to running Wellness Programs through Lisa Benner Living.  I teach at various locations and in yoga teacher trainings around New York and internationally, and am part of the management team at Bread & Yoga in NYC.

I teach from the Hatha philosophy in the Vinyasa style, creating each class on a theme, and incorporating pranayama, mantra and meditation.  Strong attention is given to alignment.  I am greatly honored to be able to share the transformations that yoga brings, to coach individuals towards their vibrancy, to teach and to continue to learn.
