Lisa Beaulieu, BComm., CPT
Certified Pilates & Yoga Instructor
Registered Holistic Nutritionist
Lululemon Ambassador 2007-2008
Founder & Studio Director

After studying Business in University, I developed a very keen interest in the body which led me back to University to study anatomy and physiology. I undertook my teacher training in the Pilates Method with both Stott Pilates and Janet Lemon of Movement for Health in Toronto. As great as Pilates is, I knew there was something missing and when I met my first yoga teacher, Donna Christo I knew I had found the missing link – Yoga. I completed my teacher training at the Yoga Studio in Toronto with Hali Shwartz, Michael Siddall and Christine Cinq-Mars.

Since this new beginning, I have continued to attend numerous workshops including Seane Corn, Dharma Mittra, completed the Pre-Natal Yoga training with Janice Clarfield; and trained privately with David Robson (owner of  the Downward Dog) in the Ashtanga Yoga lineage. Most recently I have undertaken the 108 hour Anusara Yoga Immersion program with Todd Norian and Anne Green (Fall 2008).

This path of health is indeed my calling, to teach what I have been taught, to pass on the understanding, the courage and the compassion that I receive to those who study with me.
