If I could paint a picture of the perfect yoga and meditation space it would be Lisa's Yoga and Meditation Lounge. On my travels throughout SE Asia and Australia over recent months I've practiced in many different yoga and meditation studios but none have come close in creating the feeling of instant calmness and serenity that you experience the moment you step through the door at the Lounge. The tutors put you at ease immediately and offer variations to each pose to suit every ability. I felt I'd come home when I attended several of the sessions here. I only wish I was in the area for longer to fully benefit from the nurturing yoga and meditation guided by Lisa, Carmel and Tash. Thank you.

Lisa has a holistic approach to helping you release all tension and stress in your body and mind, with simple poses, sound therapy and essential oils. A truly awesome experience. I highly recommend.
J.M. - Thornlands
Thanks to you Lisa! Best decision I have ever made was to walk through the door of your wonderful Yoga Lounge, and into the warm embrace of the practices you teach.
D.B. - Redland Bay
I experienced this beautiful place during a Red Tent gathering in 2014. I loved being in The Lounge, the energy was amazing and comforting. Lisa facilitated a wonderful meditation journey, which had a deep healing impact on me! It was truly an amazing evening, I was soaking every minute of that experience as I was shortly set to relocate to the UK. I wish with all my heart I had discovered this place earlier, so I could have enjoyed more of what it had to offer, especially its gifted and dedicated facilitators and teachers! Wishing you every success for many many years to come.

I have done a few yoga classes at other studios and gyms and nothing compares to the beginner classes I have done at the Lounge. I always feel welcome and at peace. When I leave the classses I cant wait to get back to the next session. I never felt like I had to keep up and always felt at home on my mat. I definitely recommend for anyone looking for mindfulness and peace within.
K.H - Victoria Point
Love this place, it's amazing! Proper old school yoga.
G.R. - Thornlands
I started yoga at the Lounge because I have MS now. It has been the best thing in the world for my balance and health. I researched it and found the Lounge in Cleveland because they pay particular attention to injuries and make sure you go at your own place in a relaxed air conditioned space. I wish the local doctors knew to recommend this place to all who suffer with pain and injury.
F.L - Cleveland
So grateful for Friday morning Sunrise Yoga this morning at 6am! Lisa teaches such a gentle & nurturing practice, with dynamic moves, soothing sounds, invigorating aromas & mindful words!! All possible sensations for the soul!! A great way to start the weekend! Namaste & Thankyou!!!
J.P - Cleveland
I just wanted to thank you immensely for your guidance during the Meditation course which enhanced my ability to let go of stress and anxiety. I became aware of practicing simple techniques more often to ultimately deal with stress and anxiety for a calmer life. Recently during a procedure at the dentist I tried the meditation practice and was elated to immediately feel calmer and more relaxed! Even being in the state of mind to think of meditating was a good example of what I had achieved from your course. Many thanks again for inspiring me to live life moment by moment and breathe!
B.S - VICTORIA POINT
The environment is warm, welcoming and peaceful at the same time. It's like time stops when you take off your shoes and enter the Lounge. The mat is your own space to honor your body and go with your flow. Blissful, is how I'd describe it.
F.J - Wellington Point
I've never done yoga before, and doing the beginner course has been magnificent. I've learnt so much, and Lisa's instructions and help has been brilliant. I've also loved starting the weekend off with yoga, as it wipes away all the stress from the week and really allows me to enjoy my weekend. 10/10. Would recommend.
A.F - Manly West
Thank you for introducing me to a place I can go and meditate that is so welcoming and serene.
T.H. - Cleveland
Thank you so much for the Restorative Yoga course. Jordin was prone to panic and anxiety attacks with the stresses of senior high school, she now has the ability to centre and refocus herself, and hasn't had an attack since. Thank you again.
B.M - Thornlands
Thank you for welcoming me so graciously at the last minute! The Beginner class has re-connected me with yoga. I will be back again. Thank you!
A.H - Birkdale
I attended the Stress Detox retreat. What a great day! I feel about 10 years younger, so relaxed and refreshed. Great for people with health issues who have restrictions on activities.
J.D - Thornlands
I had recently been through a stressful health scare. This stressful event in my life led me to Lisa where I benefited from a wonderful, gentle therapy session. I attribute this session as an important part of my healing from this stressful time in my life. After the session & years of listening to guided meditations I decided to attend the Mindfulness Meditation course. It was quite dramatically different from what I had encountered from the guided meditations I was used to. After the first class I was able to go progressively deeper into a meditative state of which I can now access on my own, although I still attend the different types of classes offered at the Lounge as I feel it's really beneficial to me. The Lounge is a peaceful place and I always feel completely comfortable in this setting. All types of people attend, there is no stereotype as meditation helps us all. Lisa ensures that all feel comfortable. She really makes sure you as an individual feel comfortable, letting you know you can sit or lay however makes you comfortable, and to do things in your own time regardless of what others are doing. Lisa is gentle and kind to the core and I can't recommend the services offered at 'The Lounge' highly enough.
S.M - Wellington Point
Lisa, thank you for opening me to the wonderful experience of peace and healing in the Restorative Yoga Course which I so needed at this time. The gentle poses and meditation enabled me to fully appreciate the shifts and changes in my life at the moment. With Love.
J.S - Cleveland
I absolutely loved the Beginner course. I finally got a true understanding of how to practice yoga and the feeling of each pose and movement. I've practiced yoga at gyms where you do the poses without any instruction or help to know if you are doing it correctly. I now feel comfortable using the props and for me the meditation aspect is what brought me to the Lounge as its such a wonderful way to de-stress and focus on ourselves. It has helped me so much both mentally and physically.

I thought I had been practicing mindfulness and meditation for the last 6 months or so until I started the Mindfulness Meditation Course with Lisa. Now I know exactly what Mindfulness is about and am so comfortable and at ease sitting and participating in the act of meditation.
A.B - Ormiston
I have loved coming to the studio over the years. I will miss it and all the teachers so much when I move. Thank you so much for providing such a beautiful Yoga Lounge.
C.L - Cleveland
The Stress Detox Retreat was absolutely amazing. Great organising and planning - the body wasn't too tired sitting or lying too long. The Sound Bath at the end was wonderful. I hope Lisa will organise it again. Many thanks from the bottom of my heart.
S.S - Cleveland
Yoga and meditation has helped me find purpose again and overcome depression. Through regular practice, I am now off the antidepressants and learning to love myself and live life to my full potential. Thank you for making such a difference and inspiring people to follow a more inspiring path. I'm so happy I came across the Yoga and Meditation Lounge - it's exactly what I was looking for.
C.P - Capalaba
The Mindfulness Meditation Course was very healing. Stays with you in your daily life, and brings focus and calmness. Lisa is amazing. Thanks Lisa.
H.M. - Thornlands
I just wanted to say a really big thank you for the Beginner Course!! I learnt an incredible amount, not only about yoga poses but also about the importance of listening to your body and respecting it's limitations when doing yoga. I now feel confident in choosing the right yoga class for me and to participate knowing that it is perfectly okay to take my practice as far as my body will allow! Your generosity in sharing your experience and knowledge has been wonderful and it has been a pleasure to come each week and learn from you.
C.M - Wellington Point
I have enjoyed every experience I have had at the Yoga Lounge over the years. The environment is so conducive to peace and calm, and restoration of the body, mind and soul. Thank you for providing and sharing the space, the teachers, and your time and energy.
S.W - Wellington Point
I attended the Spine Align Workshop today. Lisa is truly gifted in understanding the human body. I found it very worthwhile.
S.W - Redland Bay
I want to publicly thank the Yoga & Meditation Lounge for providing this little haven in my hectic life, where I can go and just be...I know people go and share in a class for their own personal reasons, mainly to reduce the stresses of their busy lifestyle. I found this studio quite by chance and although I had tried yoga once a long time ago, I didn't really find the benefits that I had read about. Well, so I thought. But the truth is, I hadn't found 'me' and I didn't want to 'waste time' on me when I had sssooooo much to get on with! In March 2013 after a long illness and surgery I was told that more surgery may be needed, so I set out to find an answer away from traditional practices and I found a treasure trove. A treasure trove of good food practices, the way to honest positive thought and the everyday practices of being mindful. I took the time to discover me and I love where I am. Yesterday I was told I have an incurable disease but with continued positivity and being in the moment of everyday happenings, I give thanks because without the knowledge gained from my meditation practices with Lisa and the Lounge, I would not be content in just being. I went looking for an answer to my health issues but all along it was waiting for me, right here, inside of me. Thank You xx
M.A - Alexandra Hills
I loved the Restorative Course and will always do it again when I can. I am achieving more relaxation in my daily life so its benefits are far reaching. Thanks once again Lisa.
H.M. - Thornlands
I come on Thursdays for meditation, but we first met when I had some therapy with you Lisa. I’ve known of The Lounge's existence for some time but never came. I found you when I needed you. I see you as a part of my healing journey and I would like to thank you, and for you to know I appreciate your kind soul. See you on Thursday night, meditation has become very important and intriguing to me. Thanks again.
S.M - Wellington Point
I loved the Restorative Yoga Course with Carmel. She has the most wonderful yoga voice, something I am quite particular about when practicing yoga, and was such a good teacher. I found it to be most beneficial for me too with rheumatoid arthritis and adrenal fatigue. I even learned some new moves which was great to add to my repertoire at home. I do practice at home but am better when guided - hence the return to classes. I loved the last week when Lisa used the essential oils on us.The Lounge is a great space and it's so nice hearing the birds when the windows are open. Overall it was an excellent course.
A.B - Ormiston
The Mindfulness Meditation Course was extremely beneficial. I have been highly stressed and anxious lately and I found the course so helpful in relaxing and calming myself. Lisa is very helpful in guiding relaxation. It was well worth it!
A.H - Birkdale
I really enjoyed the beginner course +++ Excellent overview of the basics. I feel more relaxed, calm and grounded. I'm now more mindful of my breathing. It makes me slow down and feel more at peace with life and myself. Great facilities and teacher!!! I'm now looking forward to attending additional classes.
R.M - Wellington Point
Thank you for your beautiful spiritual and asana guidance on my yoga mat.
J.G - Cleveland
This morning's Restorative class was more beneficial than a visit to a doctor, counselor, chiropractor and acupuncturist all rolled into one!! Your skills are amazing - thanks heaps.
M.S - Cleveland
I don't think you would find a better environment in which to practice yoga. The Lounge is a dedicated yoga space complete with props, beautiful cushions, lighting, a wonderful ambiance for sure. Lisa brings everything of herself to the Lounge, she fills the space with love, kindness, gratitude and a depth of practice which I love. Her deep understanding of yoga principles permeate every class. I have been attending Lisa's classes for several years and am learning and growing in my journey all the time. Not only does Lisa have an excellent background in the anatomy of yoga, she excels in her meditations, pranayama, yoga nidra and the philosophy of yoga. I love the depth of Lisa's classes and would highly recommend her classes to all yogis, from beginner to wherever your journey takes you. Thank you Lisa, you give yourself to your students.
J.T - Capalaba
A very beneficial experience of self-reflection and relaxation. Lisa facilitates her students to explore their inner landscape in a nurturing environment.

L.B - Capalaba
I left each evening after meditation class feeling uplifted, rested and at peace. I felt like I was walking on air for the next few days. I was calm and at peace with myself and with life. I started to notice my brain wasn't clouded with messy thoughts. I started to get my creativity back and with each day I have grown more positive and I have come to accept myself. I will definitely continue Mindfulness Meditation from now on. Thank you Lisa for guiding me to find my spirit.
A.W - Wellington Point
I would like to say thank you so much for all that you have done for me this year. I credit you for just how far I have come since the beginning of this challenging year. You were exactly what I needed to find myself and start me on a beautiful journey of good health, and a much more positive outcome. I feel so blessed in finding the Lounge on my life's path.
M.A - Alexandra Hills
I have thoroughly enjoyed both the Yoga Nidra and Restorative Yoga courses that I have attended with Lisa. Stress levels have all but disappeared, and I practice skills learned in class at home to relax prior to sleep at night. The calmness and relaxation is incredibly beneficial. Thank you xx
M.H - Wellington Point
Thanks Lisa, great Friday class... Pranayama, Meditation, and Asana... perfect yoga!
S.P - Redland Bay
A decision to make up for the more physical Yoga class I usually attended by going to the Restorative Deep Peace class had me hooked. Lisa is truly blessed and these classes have enabled me to finally tap into my box of sadness and release what I had been suppressing for years. Being a very rational person, I always told myself crying was pointless because it didn't change reality. This approach meant I never allowed myself to feel sad about what had happened in my past. Restorative yoga helped me to unlock, at last, these suppressed feelings and I feel so much better since I allowed myself to just let go - Thank you so much.
A.N - Thornlands
I have regularly meditated at classes elsewhere, but the Mindfulness Meditation course at the Lounge is the only place where I've felt (and had explained to me) there is no right or wrong. It has helped me to surrender to the present moment and 'let it be'. Thank you Lisa - you've made this a wonderful experience for me.
S.B - Wynnum
There is no better instructive teacher than Lisa. I had never done yoga before and now love it so much I'm doing 4-5 classes a week. All the instructors at the Lounge bring something different, and they are all truly amazing. The environment and energy is warm, calming, relaxing, some nights I would be happy to curl up with a blanket after relaxation and spend the night! Come along, you deserve it!
B.T - Thornlands
I love yoga at the Lounge, it has been a wonderful year long journey. All the teachers bring their own uniqueness. I really enjoyed Lana's class today - a peaceful, body and soul experience.
T.E - Cleveland
All of the classes and courses at the Lounge are wonderful. It's my preferred place to be, especially now the classes are extended - much appreciated. In particular is Craig's class as I love the breathing practice. Lisa, your Healthy Back class is so informative as you give us an understanding of our bodies. Your knowledge is such a benefit. Namaste.
L.B - Capalaba
The Lounge is welcoming and calming. I have enjoyed being able to take time out of this hectic world and learn how to focus on myself.
V.V - Burbank
So happy and grateful to have found this beautiful warm inviting place to do yoga and take in all the healing it offers me...
J.K. - Redland Bay
I've dabbled in meditation on my own before but could never get into it. I tried the Slow and Mindful class last night with Lisa. I felt relaxed, invigorated and calm at the same time. I'm the kind of person that wants to be able to do things on my own. But having her guidance allowed me to experience a much deeper and more fulfilling meditation than doing it on my own. Also, normally in the mornings I wake up with chronic pain at about a 9 out of 10. To help you understand, it feels like someone is sawing through my bones with a rusty carving knife. What I'm really stoked about is today I woke up with my chronic pain about a 3 out of 10. Unfortunatley I live overseas, but if I was staying in Brisbane longer I would 100% become a regular!!!
S.H. - Austria
I am so happy I found the wonderful Yoga Lounge. I come away feeling enlightened and ready to face any challenge thrown my way. Thank you for your beautiful teachings and caring ways in a very relaxed atmosphere.
W.G. - Thornlands
I have so far attended x2 classes with Lisa and Tash and have found them to be wonderful. I'm going through a tough time in my life right now and I really feel that these yoga classes are already starting to give me back some calmness and positivity. Thank you.
K.S - Mount Cotton
I take this opportunity to thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you offer your community and place for me to grow. I regarded my time in Queensland as a place of retreat and the Yoga Lounge was a major part of my stepping back and off the beaten track. I practiced the breathing techniques you have been offering us, and this morning I witnessed the 'Ah ha'', so thank you. I will continie to make yoga part of my life thanks to you, where else in the world can person find such a place. I thank the universe. With much respect Lisa.
K.B - Woorree, W.A.
I have attended 5 classes here and have to say that I feel so comfortable in the environment. Lisa and the other instructors are amazing. Give so much detail and I never feel out of place. I always leave feeling calm, revived and grateful for what my body can do. Thank you and Namaste.
A.H. - Cleveland
Like so many people, before coming to the Lounge, I was a real stress puppy. I have had a lot to deal with over the past years with changing life circumstances, hugely emotional situations. I wasn't coping, there was so much responsibility, and was lost in all of it. I begged the universe for an answer, for help. I saw the poster for your gentle yoga classes on the wall of Wrays Organics and was drawn to it. I took the details, and 'sat' on them, until I was brave enough to act. I had lost a bit of confidence over the years. I can honestly say, the best thing I have done, was stepping through your very welcoming door. I know others have expressed that the Lounge is their happy place, and it is mine now too. The "ahh-ha!" moment in meditation, was learning that I can't always control what is going to happen....but I can control how I react to it! I'm loving the Yoga so very much as well. I don't hold myself in such a tight ball anymore, and I can breathe. Simple, but life changing for me. So again, a thousand thanks!
D.B. - Redland Bay
Lisa, I just wanted to let you know that I have been practicing breathing everyday and I no longer suffer from the headaches that I have been getting in the past 6 months. Thanks for all of your help!
P.D. - Wellington Point
Thank you to all of the wonderful, caring, compassionate and nurturing ladies at the Yoga Lounge. Through your guidance I have learnt to appreciate my body and not feel frustrated by its inadequecies. Thank you for this past year. The Lounge has given me a place of retreat, peace and self-nurturing at a time when I needed it most. My journey has eveolved her into a more spiritual level and I thank you.
J.M. - Wellington Point
I highly recommend the Meditation for Anxiety Course. Lisa is an amazing teacher with a wonderful way about her to make you feel at ease but empowered to master the body's anxiety response. The course has been a huge stepping stone in my journey to peace within.
L.W. - Cleveland
The Yoga Lounge is my absolute favourite place to be. It has an amazing loving, nurturing energy and I absolutely love classes.
M.B. - Thornlands
Total Bliss. What a treat.
J.K - Redland Bay
I so look forward to Tuesday night's at the Yoga & Meditation Lounge. You have taught me that it's okay to think of myself, to relax , breathe and to find mindful peace... to relax deeply into position's and to listen to my body, my mind and spirit. Thank you
H.H - Redland Bay
Can't believe I have been walking past The Lounge for 4 years! OMG. I did 3 sessions this week and I feel amazing today.
P.C. - Thornlands
It's taken me 30 long years to find an unpretentious yoga teacher... thankyou Lana ❤ I also love Carmel's yoga classes. And you haven't lived until you've experienced yoga with the divine Mr Sam, wonderful. Thankyou Lisa for gathering the best of the best. Namaste
K.D - Alexandra Hills
To all the wonderful, caring, compassionate and nurturing teachers at the Lounge, through your guidance I have learnt to apprecie my body and not feel frustrated by its inadequacies. The Lounge has given me a place of retreat, peace and self-nurturing at a time when I needed it most. My journey has evolved here into a more spiritual level and I thank you all.
J.M - Wellington Point
Thank you Lisa for helping me find my inner zen. I am forever grateful!
D.B - Redland Bay
Thank you for my Lounge experience. I love Carmel's yin classes every Thursday. The Lounge is such a peaceful setting that allows time out of our busy days to share some mindful activity.
D.S - Victoria Point
Thank you for changing my life! I had the most wonderful day on Saturday (at the Introduction to Yoga & Meditation Course), and I have been concentrating on my posture and breathing to start my new life. I love your studio and all that it contains. I am going to make my own bolster today and buy a yoga mat! Look out here I come. Kindest regards and a thousand thanks!
J.B - Birkdale
No matter how I feel when I enter the Lounge I instantly feel relaxed and calm. A wonderful environment with excellent teachers who cater for all who attend. 6 stars!!!

M.J. - Cleveland
The meditation incorporated into the classes - that’s a huge reason I love coming back to your yoga studio. And its space, its beautiful space . And not just yoga, but the practice of meditation included into the yoga start and ending. So beautiful. Thank you so, so much for such an incredible space you have created.
J.C - Cleveland
I have a very busy life and am not local, but whenever I attend the Lounge, I always go home relaxed and feeling good!
M.J - Mt Warren Park
The yoga lounge is such a special place to me and so many others, I can’t imagine my life without it. You have created the most amazing place where strangers come together, without judgment, and leaving as friends
J.C - Thornlands
Although I am not a regular client, mum and I still talk about the two retreats we took part in. The Semi-silent Weekend Retreat at the Big House and the one day Stress Detox Retreat onsite were both incredible. Now more than ever the importance of one’s relationship with their spirit or higher self is paramount. You’re experience and knowledge and what you have to offer are such important services and not readily available in the Redlands.
S.D. - Cleveland
Honestly I've only been going for 2 months but my goodness, it's truly such a beautiful space with hightest quality techers and the most peaceful serene room. It's just perfect all round, and is changing my life. Words can't descibe.
J.C. - Cleveland
I would like to say thank you so much for the wonderful service you have provided to the community for so many years.
E.B. - Cleveland
My yoga journey took a turn for the better by attending the Lounge. I no longer live in the Redlands and have since gone through about 6 yoga studios to try and find one that brings as much to a class as you always have, and I have struggled to find one that equals the serenity & vibe. The studio your run is the best I know (I have a list to compare it to!) You have taught me so much. Your communication skill that comes from your heart and not from your head is such a blessing and I am so grateful to have had you as a yoga teacher. Thank you for being in my life.
L.M - Sunshine Coast
The reason many regulars stay with the Lounge is your teaching and the wonderfully diverse classes you do. There is always something new in your class, new insight, new way of getting into a posture, new lovely spray (yes, I l love them), new sounds, new music. It’s the total package that gives so much pleasure and a feeling of wellbeing and calm. I hope I can be your student for many years to come!

I just wanted to say a really big thank you for the Beginner Course!! I learnt an incredible amount, not only about yoga poses but also about the importance of listening to your body and respecting it's limitations when doing yoga. I now feel confident in choosing the right yoga class for me and to participate knowing that it is perfectly okay to take my practice as far as my body will allow! Your generosity in sharing your experience and knowledge has been wonderful and it has been a pleasure to come each week and learn from you.

I have enjoyed every experience I have had at the Yoga Lounge over the years. The environment is so conducive to peace and calm, and restoration of the body, mind and soul. Thank you for providing and sharing the space, the teachers, and your time and energy.

I attended the Spine Align Workshop today. Lisa is truly gifted in understanding the human body. I found it very worthwhile.

I want to publicly thank the Yoga & Meditation Lounge for providing this little haven in my hectic life, where I can go and just be...I know people go and share in a class for their own personal reasons, mainly to reduce the stresses of their busy lifestyle. I found this studio quite by chance and although I had tried yoga once a long time ago, I didn't really find the benefits that I had read about. Well, so I thought. But the truth is, I hadn't found 'me' and I didn't want to 'waste time' on me when I had sssooooo much to get on with! In March 2013 after a long illness and surgery I was told that more surgery may be needed, so I set out to find an answer away from traditional practices and I found a treasure trove. A treasure trove of good food practices, the way to honest positive thought and the everyday practices of being mindful. I took the time to discover me and I love where I am. Yesterday I was told I have an incurable disease but with continued positivity and being in the moment of everyday happenings, I give thanks because without the knowledge gained from my meditation practices with Lisa and the Lounge, I would not be content in just being. I went looking for an answer to my health issues but all along it was waiting for me, right here, inside of me. Thank You xx

I loved the Restorative Course and will always do it again when I can. I am achieving more relaxation in my daily life so its benefits are far reaching. Thanks once again Lisa.
H.M. - Thornlands
I come on Thursdays for meditation, but we first met when I had some therapy with you Lisa. I’ve known of The Lounge's existence for some time but never came. I found you when I needed you. I see you as a part of my healing journey and I would like to thank you, and for you to know I appreciate your kind soul. See you on Thursday night, meditation has become very important and intriguing to me. Thanks again.

I loved the Restorative Yoga Course with Carmel. She has the most wonderful yoga voice, something I am quite particular about when practicing yoga, and was such a good teacher. I found it to be most beneficial for me too with rheumatoid arthritis and adrenal fatigue. I even learned some new moves which was great to add to my repertoire at home. I do practice at home but am better when guided - hence the return to classes. I loved the last week when Lisa used the essential oils on us.The Lounge is a great space and it's so nice hearing the birds when the windows are open. Overall it was an excellent course.
A.B - Ormiston
The Mindfulness Meditation Course was extremely beneficial. I have been highly stressed and anxious lately and I found the course so helpful in relaxing and calming myself. Lisa is very helpful in guiding relaxation. It was well worth it!
A.H - Birkdale
I really enjoyed the beginner course +++ Excellent overview of the basics. I feel more relaxed, calm and grounded. I'm now more mindful of my breathing. It makes me slow down and feel more at peace with life and myself. Great facilities and teacher!!! I'm now looking forward to attending additional classes.
R.M - Wellington Point
Thank you for your beautiful spiritual and asana guidance on my yoga mat.
J.G - Cleveland
This morning's Restorative class was more beneficial than a visit to a doctor, counselor, chiropractor and acupuncturist all rolled into one!! Your skills are amazing - thanks heaps.
M.S - Cleveland
I don't think you would find a better environment in which to practice yoga. The Lounge is a dedicated yoga space complete with props, beautiful cushions, lighting, a wonderful ambiance for sure. Lisa brings everything of herself to the Lounge, she fills the space with love, kindness, gratitude and a depth of practice which I love. Her deep understanding of yoga principles permeate every class. I have been attending Lisa's classes for several years and am learning and growing in my journey all the time. Not only does Lisa have an excellent background in the anatomy of yoga, she excels in her meditations, pranayama, yoga nidra and the philosophy of yoga. I love the depth of Lisa's classes and would highly recommend her classes to all yogis, from beginner to wherever your journey takes you. Thank you Lisa, you give yourself to your students.
J.T - Capalaba
A very beneficial experience of self-reflection and relaxation. Lisa facilitates her students to explore their inner landscape in a nurturing environment.
C.N - Ormiston
I just wanted to thank you immensely for your guidance during the Meditation course which enhanced my ability to let go of stress and anxiety. I became aware of practicing simple techniques more often to ultimately deal with stress and anxiety for a calmer life. Recently during a procedure at the dentist I tried the meditation practice and was elated to immediately feel calmer and more relaxed! Even being in the state of mind to think of meditating was a good example of what I had achieved from your course. Many thanks again for inspiring me to live life moment by moment and breathe!"
B.S - Victoria Point
I enjoy all the yoga here. Thanks for a marvelous space and a terrific team.
L.B - Capalaba
I left each evening after meditation class feeling uplifted, rested and at peace. I felt like I was walking on air for the next few days. I was calm and at peace with myself and with life. I started to notice my brain wasn't clouded with messy thoughts. I started to get my creativity back and with each day I have grown more positive and I have come to accept myself. I will definitely continue Mindfulness Meditation from now on. Thank you Lisa for guiding me to find my spirit.
A.W - Wellington Point
I would like to say thank you so much for all that you have done for me this year. I credit you for just how far I have come since the beginning of this challenging year. You were exactly what I needed to find myself and start me on a beautiful journey of good health, and a much more positive outcome. I feel so blessed in finding the Lounge on my life's path.
M.A - Alexandra Hills
I have thoroughly enjoyed both the Yoga Nidra and Restorative Yoga courses that I have attended with Lisa. Stress levels have all but disappeared, and I practice skills learned in class at home to relax prior to sleep at night. The calmness and relaxation is incredibly beneficial. Thank you xx
M.H - Wellington Point
Thanks Lisa, great Friday class... Pranayama, Meditation, and Asana... perfect yoga!
S.P - Redland Bay
A decision to make up for the more physical Yoga class I usually attended by going to the Restorative Deep Peace class had me hooked. Lisa is truly blessed and these classes have enabled me to finally tap into my box of sadness and release what I had been suppressing for years. Being a very rational person, I always told myself crying was pointless because it didn't change reality. This approach meant I never allowed myself to feel sad about what had happened in my past. Restorative yoga helped me to unlock, at last, these suppressed feelings and I feel so much better since I allowed myself to just let go - Thank you so much.
A.N - Thornlands
I have regularly meditated at classes elsewhere, but the Mindfulness Meditation course at the Lounge is the only place where I've felt (and had explained to me) there is no right or wrong. It has helped me to surrender to the present moment and 'let it be'. Thank you Lisa - you've made this a wonderful experience for me.
S.B - Wynnum
There is no better instructive teacher than Lisa. I had never done yoga before and now love it so much I'm doing 4-5 classes a week. All the instructors at the Lounge bring something different, and they are all truly amazing. The environment and energy is warm, calming, relaxing, some nights I would be happy to curl up with a blanket after relaxation and spend the night! Come along, you deserve it!
B.T - Thornlands
I love yoga at the Lounge, it has been a wonderful year long journey. All the teachers bring their own uniqueness. I really enjoyed Lana's class today - a peaceful, body and soul experience.
T.E - Cleveland
All of the classes and courses at the Lounge are wonderful. It's my preferred place to be, especially now the classes are extended - much appreciated. In particular is Craig's class as I love the breathing practice. Lisa, your Healthy Back class is so informative as you give us an understanding of our bodies. Your knowledge is such a benefit. Namaste.
L.B - Capalaba
The Lounge is welcoming and calming. I have enjoyed being able to take time out of this hectic world and learn how to focus on myself.
V.V - Burbank
So happy and grateful to have found this beautiful warm inviting place to do yoga and take in all the healing it offers me...
J.K. - Redland Bay
I've dabbled in meditation on my own before but could never get into it. I tried the Slow and Mindful class last night with Lisa. I felt relaxed, invigorated and calm at the same time. I'm the kind of person that wants to be able to do things on my own. But having her guidance allowed me to experience a much deeper and more fulfilling meditation than doing it on my own. Also, normally in the mornings I wake up with chronic pain at about a 9 out of 10. To help you understand, it feels like someone is sawing through my bones with a rusty carving knife. What I'm really stoked about is today I woke up with my chronic pain about a 3 out of 10. Unfortunatley I live overseas, but if I was staying in Brisbane longer I would 100% become a regular!!!
S.H. - Austria
I am so happy I found the wonderful Yoga Lounge. I come away feeling enlightened and ready to face any challenge thrown my way. Thank you for your beautiful teachings and caring ways in a very relaxed atmosphere.
W.G. - Thornlands
I have so far attended x2 classes with Lisa and Tash and have found them to be wonderful. I'm going through a tough time in my life right now and I really feel that these yoga classes are already starting to give me back some calmness and positivity. Thank you.
K.S - Mount Cotton
I take this opportunity to thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you offer your community and place for me to grow. I regarded my time in Queensland as a place of retreat and the Yoga Lounge was a major part of my stepping back and off the beaten track. I practiced the breathing techniques you have been offering us, and this morning I witnessed the 'Ah ha'', so thank you. I will continie to make yoga part of my life thanks to you, where else in the world can person find such a place. I thank the universe. With much respect Lisa.
K.B - Woorree, W.A.
I have attended 5 classes here and have to say that I feel so comfortable in the environment. Lisa and the other instructors are amazing. Give so much detail and I never feel out of place. I always leave feeling calm, revived and grateful for what my body can do. Thank you and Namaste.
A.H. - Cleveland
Like so many people, before coming to the Lounge, I was a real stress puppy. I have had a lot to deal with over the past years with changing life circumstances, hugely emotional situations. I wasn't coping, there was so much responsibility, and was lost in all of it. I begged the universe for an answer, for help. I saw the poster for your gentle yoga classes on the wall of Wrays Organics and was drawn to it. I took the details, and 'sat' on them, until I was brave enough to act. I had lost a bit of confidence over the years. I can honestly say, the best thing I have done, was stepping through your very welcoming door. I know others have expressed that the Lounge is their happy place, and it is mine now too. The "ahh-ha!" moment in meditation, was learning that I can't always control what is going to happen....but I can control how I react to it! I'm loving the Yoga so very much as well. I don't hold myself in such a tight ball anymore, and I can breathe. Simple, but life changing for me. So again, a thousand thanks!
D.B. - Redland Bay
Lisa, I just wanted to let you know that I have been practicing breathing everyday and I no longer suffer from the headaches that I have been getting in the past 6 months. Thanks for all of your help!
P.D. - Wellington Point
Thank you to all of the wonderful, caring, compassionate and nurturing ladies at the Yoga Lounge. Through your guidance I have learnt to appreciate my body and not feel frustrated by its inadequecies. Thank you for this past year. The Lounge has given me a place of retreat, peace and self-nurturing at a time when I needed it most. My journey has eveolved her into a more spiritual level and I thank you.
J.M. - Wellington Point
I highly recommend the Meditation for Anxiety Course. Lisa is an amazing teacher with a wonderful way about her to make you feel at ease but empowered to master the body's anxiety response. The course has been a huge stepping stone in my journey to peace within.
L.W. - Cleveland
The Yoga Lounge is my absolute favourite place to be. It has an amazing loving, nurturing energy and I absolutely love classes.
M.B. - Thornlands
Total Bliss. What a treat.
J.K - Redland Bay
I so look forward to Tuesday night's at the Yoga & Meditation Lounge. You have taught me that it's okay to think of myself, to relax , breathe and to find mindful peace... to relax deeply into position's and to listen to my body, my mind and spirit. Thank you
H.H - Redland Bay
Can't believe I have been walking past The Lounge for 4 years! OMG. I did 3 sessions this week and I feel amazing today.
P.C. - Thornlands
It's taken me 30 long years to find an unpretentious yoga teacher... thankyou Lana ❤ I also love Carmel's yoga classes. And you haven't lived until you've experienced yoga with the divine Mr Sam, wonderful. Thankyou Lisa for gathering the best of the best. Namaste
K.D - Alexandra Hills
To all the wonderful, caring, compassionate and nurturing teachers at the Lounge, through your guidance I have learnt to apprecie my body and not feel frustrated by its inadequacies. The Lounge has given me a place of retreat, peace and self-nurturing at a time when I needed it most. My journey has evolved here into a more spiritual level and I thank you all.
J.M - Wellington Point
Thank you Lisa for helping me find my inner zen. I am forever grateful!
D.B - Redland Bay
Thank you for my Lounge experience. I love Carmel's yin classes every Thursday. The Lounge is such a peaceful setting that allows time out of our busy days to share some mindful activity.
D.S - Victoria Point
Thank you for changing my life! I had the most wonderful day on Saturday (at the Introduction to Yoga & Meditation Course), and I have been concentrating on my posture and breathing to start my new life. I love your studio and all that it contains. I am going to make my own bolster today and buy a yoga mat! Look out here I come. Kindest regards and a thousand thanks!
J.B - Birkdale
No matter how I feel when I enter the Lounge I instantly feel relaxed and calm. A wonderful environment with excellent teachers who cater for all who attend. 6 stars!!!
F.M - Clevleand
I love the Lounge. I have been doing yoga here since 2011, and can recommend it for good teachers, beautiful yoga and a very peaceful place to be in. Thank you
M.J. - Cleveland
The meditation incorporated into the classes - that’s a huge reason I love coming back to your yoga studio. And its space, its beautiful space . And not just yoga, but the practice of meditation included into the yoga start and ending. So beautiful. Thank you so, so much for such an incredible space you have created.
J.C - Cleveland
I have a very busy life and am not local, but whenever I attend the Lounge, I always go home relaxed and feeling good!
M.J - Mt Warren Park
The yoga lounge is such a special place to me and so many others, I can’t imagine my life without it. You have created the most amazing place where strangers come together, without judgment, and leaving as friends
J.C - Thornlands
Although I am not a regular client, mum and I still talk about the two retreats we took part in. The Semi-silent Weekend Retreat at the Big House and the one day Stress Detox Retreat onsite were both incredible. Now more than ever the importance of one’s relationship with their spirit or higher self is paramount. You’re experience and knowledge and what you have to offer are such important services and not readily available in the Redlands.
S.D. - Cleveland
Honestly I've only been going for 2 months but my goodness, it's truly such a beautiful space with hightest quality techers and the most peaceful serene room. It's just perfect all round, and is changing my life. Words can't descibe.
J.C. - Cleveland
I would like to say thank you so much for the wonderful service you have provided to the community for so many years.
E.B. - Cleveland
My yoga journey took a turn for the better by attending the Lounge. I no longer live in the Redlands and have since gone through about 6 yoga studios to try and find one that brings as much to a class as you always have, and I have struggled to find one that equals the serenity & vibe. The studio your run is the best I know (I have a list to compare it to!) You have taught me so much. Your communication skill that comes from your heart and not from your head is such a blessing and I am so grateful to have had you as a yoga teacher. Thank you for being in my life.
L.M - Sunshine Coast
The reason many regulars stay with the Lounge is your teaching and the wonderfully diverse classes you do. There is always something new in your class, new insight, new way of getting into a posture, new lovely spray (yes, I l love them), new sounds, new music. It’s the total package that gives so much pleasure and a feeling of wellbeing and calm. I hope I can be your student for many years to come!
