Lisa Petersen is a yoga and somatics educator whose work blends embodied anatomy, therapeutic practice, and spiritual inquiry. Drawing on Hanna Somatics, Body-Mind Centering, and over twenty years of collaboration with Donna Farhi, she teaches an inside-out approach to yoga that restores natural movement and deepens awareness. Lisa's method emphasizes nervous system repatterning, embodied presence, and trust in the body's innate wisdom. Through her organization Living Yoga, she leads trainings and retreats worldwide, guiding students toward integration, healing and wholeness through mindful, somatic exploration and the lived experience of breath, movement, and consciousness.
Lisa offers various forms of training, both in person and online, and you can discover more about her and her teachings on her website, living-yoga.ie. You can also find Lisa on Instagram at livingyogalisapetersen.
