Lisa discovered Oki-Do Yoga in 2003 at Zen Central Yoga Centre. She was taken with the playfulness, creativity, fun, vitality and nourishment she experienced.

She commenced teaching yoga at Zen Central in 2006 and has deepened her understanding and gratitude to the ever-revealing gifts of Oki-Do.

She assisted Peter Masters in the 2008 Oki-Do Yoga Teacher Training and has participated in retreats and workshops led by Peter Masters, Ishii and Hisae Sensei’s and Masako Kunino. Lisa has completed workshops in Applied Anatomy & Physiology with Simon Borg-Oliver and is currently studying Zen Shaitsu with Michie Arake.
