BREATH

Pilates was referred as corrective exercise by its creator Joseph Pilates. Pilates is great to support injury, the aging body, athletes, and most everyone to feel stronger, more flexible and balanced in their life and activities.

Yoga helps calm and balance the nervous system and mind as well as help with flexibility, balance and strength of the body.

I teach private pilates and yoga sessions.

I offer a pilates based movement class on Zoom Wednesdays at 9am PST, $35 for the class. This class is a slower paced class geared to create stability, perfect for someone after an injury, surgery, or an aging body.

I offer privates in North Oakland Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday.

Rates are:

privates $145/ session

duets $95/session

Student, teacher, mover

As a teacher of movement since 1993 I have helped others find connection to their inner selves and their innate strength through movement, breath and awareness. I enjoy guiding people to discover themselves through this work. I bring my training in original somatic work, passed down to me from my teacher who worked with the first pioneers in somatic and neurological movement. My start began with this work in the dance classroom from 2- 11 years old, and I moved deeper into the work after college graduation. My lens is also formed through my intensive dance, pilates, rehabilitative and breathwork training and study in biology and chemistry. I bring over 25 years of experience supporting people through this work.

Student

Always learning through the world and the people around me.

Teacher

Sharing insight I have learned.

Mover

Since 1967 been moving fiercely. On the outside of the playpen, can’t be contained.

Nature has always been my source of energy and grounding. When in doubt go to nature. As the world continues to evolve more people are realizing how important this is. I love to forage in nature, picking up rocks, twigs, branches, even cutting when I know it’s ok. I feel a partner with nature as I bring them into my home. I’m out hiking, running in nature, feeling the challenge of moving over the rocks, hills and mountains.

Move Freely, Move With Ease

  • "This work with Lise has been an integral part of my personal growth, offering a holistic approach that connects the mind, body, and emotions. Within the safety of her supportive guidance as a Pilates instructor, I have been able to process and release physically as well as emotionally."
