Lisa Theis

Full bio (popup):

Lisa Theis discovered yoga in 2000 in a Bikram studio in San Francisco—what began as a challenge to simply stay in the room became a deep, healing connection of body, mind, and spirit, and ultimately her life’s calling. A dedicated student of Yogarupa Rod Stryker in the lineage of Para Yoga and Sri Vidya, she teaches in our regular yoga schedule and helps guide new teachers through our teacher training program, weaving pranayama, the energetics of asana, mantra, visualization, and meditation into every class. Trained in the art of Shirodhara under Beth, Lisa brings that same depth and quiet, attentive care to the table, guiding each guest into the deep, oceanic stillness this Ayurvedic treatment is known for. To receive Shirodhara from Lisa is to feel truly held—the mind growing still, the body softening, the whole being invited to rest.
