Lisa Vortman (she/her)

Lisa began practicing yoga in 2014 with a simple desire: to become physically stronger. What she discovered was far more transformative. Through consistent practice, yoga revealed itself not only as a pathway to physical strength, but as a steady anchor for emotional resilience, self-inquiry, and profound personal growth.

During some of the most formative seasons of her life, yoga became both mirror and medicine — teaching her acceptance, patience, and the courage to evolve. What began as movement became devotion: a practice of returning to the body, listening to the breath, and cultivating a deeper relationship with Self.

In 2016, Lisa completed her 200-hour teacher training at CorePower Yoga as well as her Youth and Teen Yoga certification. Since then, her path has expanded in both depth and leadership. She continued to excel in the creative industry while teaching weekly yoga classes and leading retreats around the world. She became passionate about merging conscious creative living in all aspects of her life and work. In 2024, she became a co-owner of PRANA to support its expansion through rebranding and transition into a new location — helping steward the studio into its next chapter of growth and community impact.

Committed to yoga as a lifelong study, Lisa completed her 300-hour advanced training in Power Yoga, Yin and Breathwork with Jonah Kest in 2025, deepening her understanding of philosophy, anatomy, somatics and embodied practice. In 2026, she also completed prenatal yoga training, inspired by her own evolving seasons of womanhood and a desire to support mothers through conscious, empowered transitions.

Lisa teaches with the belief that yoga (and life) is not about performance — it is about presence. Her classes invite students to build strength with awareness, move with intention, and cultivate a grounded inner steadiness that extends far beyond the mat. For her, yoga is a practice of integration — where body, breath, spirit, and lived experience meet.

She continues to study, create, and teach from the understanding that growth is layered — and that the practice evolves as we do.
