As a yoga teacher & retreat leader, I’m less of an ‘instructor’ . . . and more of a Guide. There is nothing I can teach you that isn’t already centered within — coded into your muscles, your mind, and your magnificent spirit.
But what I can do is create an experience — an atmosphere of laughter, energy & creation — that allows you to access that core wisdom, a bit faster. That’s my real work, as a Guide.
And I’d love to share it, with you.
You’ll find upcoming yoga classes — both locally in Cortland, NY and virtually, over the ‘net — Sangha gatherings and weekend Moon Circle Retreats, right here.
May you find precisely what you need, in this moment.

Sangha Gatherings :: at Pure & Simple Yoga
In the Buddhist tradition, Sangha is considered the third jewel of enlightenment — a gathering of like-minded people, committed to living as emblems of Love. Every second Sunday of the month I lead a heart-opening yoga class, then move into a group celebration — with prayer, story-sharing, a healing meditation, and a vegetarian feast.
Each Sangha explores a new theme, drawn from the 2012 Year of Wishes Calendar created by Lori Portka & me. It’s an incredible way to move through the year — actively blessing yourself, your community, and the world.
Second Sunday of every month at Pure & Simple Yoga
9 – 10:15am | Yoga (Studio class fee applies)
10:30 – 11:30am | Sangha (Free — but please bring a vegetarian dish to share)
Here are previous months’ readings, prayers & songs.

Moon Circle Retreats :: at Skaneateles Lake, NY
When women gather in circle — with a common purpose — true magic happens.
Moon Circle Retreats create a space to cleanse & energize each level of being — through yoga, we activate the physical body. Through conversation & story, we lengthen the mind. And through ceremony & ritual, we allow heaven to stream through our souls.
If you’re seeking new friendships & sisters (or want to gather your friends & sisters together!) — and wouldn’t mind spending a glorious weekend on the shores of Skaneateles Lake, with a fireplace, a jacuzzi bath tub, and private dock stretching right into the water — the Moon Circle Retreat is your invitation to clear away all that is not Love, and claim all that is.
Your retreat includes fresh green juice each morning, sunrise yoga classes, guided ceremonies, creative rituals, energetic clearing & spiritual counseling, plus surprise gifts & lots of love from me!
Join me. Reset and renew.
The Moon Circle Retreat is limited to 7 women.

“Yoga classes with Lisa are the best!! I was not sure if it was something I’d like as Im not an athletically inclined person. She makes everyone feel comfortable , no matter what level and can teach a class including beginners to experienced and everyone comes out happy, refreshed and relaxed. Its amazing how she can adapt a position to meet individual needs of the people in her class- showing options and ideas to make it more intense or easier to maintain and still get the benefits from yoga. Taking yoga from Lisa has been a positive step for me in getting healthier and has let me know that anyone can do this. Lisa shows everyone that any thing is possible.” - a Student
