FLOW An all-round, feel-good class that offers a thoughtful fusion of poses and flowing sequences for everybody. Switch off from internal chatter, anchor your awareness and quieten the mind as you strengthen and stretch, breathe and relax. Ticking all the boxes for wellness, you will leave this class feeling uplifted, relaxed, and nurtured inside and out.
"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 restorative 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." O.M - UK
"I have done a few yoga classes at other studios and gyms and nothing compares to the classes I have done at the Lounge. I always feel welcome and at peace. When I leave the classes I can’t 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 wish the local doctors knew to recommend this place to all who suffer with pain and injury." F.L - Cleveland
"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 & Thank you!!!" J.P - 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
"I want to publicly thank Lisa 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 sooooo 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 practices with Lisa, 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
"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, counsellor, 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. 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 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
"Thanks Lisa, great Friday class... Pranayama, Meditation, and Asana... perfect yoga!" S.P - Redland Bay
"There is no better instructive teacher than Lisa. 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! " B.T - Thornlands
"All of the classes and courses at the Lounge are wonderful. It's my preferred place to be. I love the breathing practice. Lisa, your classes are 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 tried the Mindful Flow 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. Unfortunately, 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 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 continue 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 is amazing and gives 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 every day 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 for this past year. Through your guidance I have learnt to appreciate 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." J.M. - Wellington Point
"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
"Thank you Lisa for helping me find my inner Zen. I am forever grateful!" D.B - Redland Bay
"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. J.C - Cleveland
"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
Honestly, I've only been going for 2 months but my goodness, it's just perfect all round, and is changing my life. Words can't describe. 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 Lisa always has, 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!" P.M. - Redlands
"I have thoroughly enjoyed connecting with yoga again after not practising for many years. The Yoga and Meditation Lounge offers a space to connect and be still. I appreciate Lisa's considered and calm teaching of yoga practice. Today’s session offered a space to sit with silence, to focus and practice mindful awareness. I would recommend the Yoga and Meditation Lounge to everyone" ANNON -
"Every class I have been to has made me feel refreshed and energised. I can’t thank you enough for all you do and for giving something extra to the community. Anyone who tries these classes I’m sure will be hooked!" J. C. - Thornlands
T"hank you for your beautiful words, your welcoming studio and your exception classes. Coming to the Yoga Lounge several years ago and immersing myself in all the classes has literally changed my life. I am so sad to see the Lounge close but am glad to see you follow your bliss and know it will be an opportunity for your students to continue on in their own journeys. Namaste". L.W. - Wellington Point
"Dear Lisa, I feel very sad that the area will no longer have access to you and the beautiful space of the Yoga Lounge. Your knowledge, skills and genuine care of this community is unfathomable. Anyone that has been to your classes knows how much you bring of yourself to the experience, every class, every time to give people what they need. They say, ‘You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone’ and I’m sure I like others, do know what we are losing. However, putting my and the collectives’ desire aside, I/we can only wish you the very best for the years of service healing our community. Be at peace with your decision and may good fortune follow you into your next chapter. " C.B. - Thornlands
"Namaste Lisa! I will miss you very much!! I can’t remember how I stumbled upon the Lounge, but it was just right for me in so many ways. I have been blessed to have you in my life. I was drawn to your classes in particular because of the calm you exude and your soft, thoughtful voice prompting us during our practice. I have fond memories of taking my birthday off work for some ‘me’ time and feeling so grounded and centred after a morning class… I had a beautiful inner peace. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being a restorative, calm, beautiful part of my life. I wish you all the very best in this new chapter and in all your adventures to come. x" R.M. - Victoria Point
"Lisa, please know your Lounge (and particularly you) have changed me for the better. Thanks to the Lounge and you. You have given so much to the Redlands', and I am so grateful and honoured to be on the receiving end. Thank you again for being a very memorable part of my life xx" L.M. -
"Hi Lisa. I wanted to personally thank you for the beautiful nurturing and comforting space which you created in Cleveland that I found at a time in my life where I was under significant emotional stress and physically struggling. Yin yoga on a Tuesday night really saved me, not only because you made me feel so welcome but because it allowed me to give the gift of time and space to myself. I think I cried every time I came, (in a good way!). Although I am sad to see you leaving the Bayside, I quietly know and trust that all of the light workers are leaving the cities and thrilled that you are doing the same, following your own path to your next adventure. I will always be grateful for you and the Lounge, and wish you nothing but the best! " R.M. - Capalaba
"Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. (I can't thank you enough!) I found your beautiful classes after a difficult time and near burn out. Your classes were my weekly lifeline and brought me back to myself. For that I can't thank you enough. Thank you for helping me grow. I am grateful for what you did in opening my eyes to different possibilities. This has led to me changing careers and a much more settled home life and lifestyle. Your classes filling me with confidence and centring me each week. You showed me how much more Yoga can be, and something I will continue to slowly explore. I wish you much joy and happiness on your next journey to the Sunshine Coast and with what you settle into next, I'm sure it will be beautiful". E.J. - Wellington Point
"I returned to yoga after years away and Lisa gave me back my love of the yoga journey. You are a master teacher and wonderful inspiration. Much love to you, Lisa." 💜🙏🏼 Libby - Wellington Point
