What's your body story?
This is an invitation to rewrite it
Sadhbh O'Sullivan, Musician
We are made to move. It is the first language we develop, in the fluid darkness of the womb. This Living Yoga practice invites you home to the profound joy of a breathing, moving body. It celebrates poise, ease, grace, efficiency, integration and power. It explores how movement literally shapes us. It offers an ever-practical and accessible tool-kit. Along the way it unpacks how embodied knowledge leads to bodyful wisdom and personal agency.
3 pillars of living yoga
Most movement, healthcare and therapy professionals continue to invest in their own learning. Newly fledged teachers soon realise they need additional training to become the knowledgeable, competent, authentic teacher they want to be. More experienced teachers look for inspiration and deeper understanding as they move through the stages of life; while others seek a supportive framework to continue to grow in their personal lives and professional careers.
I've been teaching for over 20 years and training teachers for over a decade and have been a life long student. Out of all these things 3 foundational pillars have emerged that are now interconnected in all my teachings.
Learn to become an authentic, competent, and confident movement educator no matter where you are on your teaching journey.
You can start on any of the 3 pillars wherever you feel drawn to the most or wherever you feel you need the most support.
Somatics
In Hanna Somatics, you learn to become your own somatic educator: self-aware, self-sensing and self-healing. It combines the heart of ancient wisdom practices with the rigour and depth of modern anatomy, neuroscience and somatics.
Many movement teachers call it the missing link.
Shared Enquiry Yoga
Central to the Living Yoga practice are seven moving principles that guide how we breathe, yield, radiate, centre, support, align and engage. It teaches us how to move with integrity, authenticity, grace, poise and ease. In this practice
we investigate our direct, bodyful experience within asana, vinyasa, breathwork, restorative yoga and somatic inquiry.
Embodied Anatomy
Embodied anatomy is the study of anatomy from the inside out. It is grounded in your body and your experience. Your body is your home. It is made up of cells, tissues, organs and systems infused with life force energy and spirit. Understanding and embodying your anatomy creates intelligent asana, refined posture, strength, flexibility, co-ordination and balance.
About Lisa...
I have three passions: yoga, somatics and embodied anatomy.
For me they are inseparable waves in a larger ocean of learning and living.
I’ve been teaching for over 20 years and training teachers for over a decade. My teachings are informed by a rich understanding of embodiment, experiential anatomy and developmental movement patterns. My experiences as both a student and a teacher have shown me that each person has an exquisite inner intelligence that unfolds through skilful education.
Learning happens when we feels safe. It blossoms through cultivating three superpowers: curiosity, exploration and self-inquiry. Teaching students to sense and feel, trust the information they perceive and know what to do with it is at the heart of what I do.
I am a teacher-of-teachers. It’s what I was born to do. I specialise in teaching teachers, movement, healthcare and therapy professionals to become the knowledgeable, competent, authentic teacher they want to be. I teach with clarity, depth, humour and compassion using what I see as three Super Powers: curiosity, exploration and self-inquiry. I teach this way because these are the skills I had to cultivate when meeting myself and attending to my own self-care.
I train teachers, movement, healthcare and therapy professionals to become somanauts and the knowledgeable, competent, authentic teacher they want to be. all over the world. We have graduates in Ireland, the UK, Spain, Denmark, the Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Australia and New Zealand.

’The SEC training has profoundly altered the way I move through the world, and the way I inhabit my being. Embarking on this journey in Somatics is teaching me the art of listening deeply, with tenderness, gentleness and understanding. I am finding my alignment is softer, my yoga postures more responsive to my needs and less goal oriented. How empowering it is to know I have the tools to address aches and pains in my body as they appear, and am able to share these skills with those coming to my classes.’
Jo Bolton, Yoga Teacher
’I will always be immensely grateful to Lisa, Gaby and their phenomenal assistants for delivering a course that allows a safe space to live, breathe, observe, embrace and learn to tease out patterns of tension and tightness cultivated over a lifetime.’
Pat Irving, Yoga teacher and acupuncturist
I can honestly say that of all the teacher trainings and CPD I have done in my career, I have never completed a course feeling so thoroughly prepared to go out and share the material. Lisa encourages you to inquire, to get curious, not to accept at face value any external direction without trying it on for size in your own soma. What I love about Lisa's teaching is the sense of cross-pollination, the obvious passion she has not only for movement but for all shapes of creativity, and how so many threads are artfully woven together to form a rich practice.
