The History Of The LoungeHi, I'm Lisa, the founder of the Yoga and Meditation Lounge, now located in Buderim on the Sunshine Coast. Welcome!
The Lounge first opened in Brisbane in 2011. At that time, it was the first commercially operated studio in the local area, and after a decade of providing yoga and meditation classes, courses, and events, I sold the studio operation in 2022, leaving behind a wonderful community, and moved to the Sunshine Coast. It's here that the Lounge opens its doors to a vibrant, new community and continues to serve as a sanctuary of calm, healing and transformation.

For over 35 years now, I've been teaching people of all ages in various physical, emotional and psychological capacities. After opening the Lounge in Brisbane, I then opened an Anxiety Clinic adjacent to the studio to meet the growing need for support in this area, and it was here that all of my life experiences and trainings pulled together to form a cohesive and comprehensive approach to healing in a profound way, and the meditation and transformation program, SelfCALM, was born.
At 54 years, I've completed lots of various studies in my time, from a Bachelor Degree in Sport Science, to Psychosomatic Therapy, Emotional Anatomy and Emotional Release Bodywork. As a somatic practitioner, nervous system healing sits at the head of the table when it comes to establishing ease, learning meditation, and developing self-regulation - all of which are critical players in all that I teach.
Suffice to say, I have a lot of knowledge and experience in the scope of teaching movement from a biomechanical, anatomical and physiological perspective, BUT this is truly just surface-layer stuff if it comes without a deeper experience of self-awareness. It's here that I bring to the table more than just movement in my offerings.
Having been a meditator from my early 20s and walking an intentional path of making the 'unconscious' 'conscious' for as long as I can remember, I naturally reach within to share teachings that go beyond just 'teaching techniques' and parroted learning, to offer you whole-heartedly, a lived and breathed knowing.
My journey has blessed me in working with thousands of individuals in so many different capacaties, using a wonderfully vast array of modalities, and has brought me to where I am today - here with you, offering you all that has become a part of me. I welcome you join me.
