Lisa Ackerman Yoga
About
I am very intuitive and try to anticipate the needs of all of my students, whether I am teaching in a group setting or one on one. I believe in the healing qualities of yoga but that it is a process that requires hard work and dedication.
I take into consideration the idea that yoga will look different on everyone and we have to make the poses work for us, not the other way around.
I am dedicated to becoming a better teacher, a better person, and a more evolved person as both a student and a teacher. This work allows me to do something that I love, that I am also good at-which is rare!
I enjoy sharing the energy of how a yoga practice can shift how you feel inside your own body and mind.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Typically I like to have a brief conversation about what a person is looking for in their yoga practice, what their goals are (if any) and what their body awareness is within movement.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have over 1,000 hours of teaching experience. I have received over 500 hours of trainings in yoga through teacher trainings and workshops.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
My pricing is dependent on what travel is included, how many people are practicing and how long the session is. A typical one on one session usually runs from $85-$150 per hour.
How did you get started teaching?
I was encouraged by one of my favorite teachers to consider teaching after having a dedicated practice for many years.
What types of students have you worked with?
I work with students of all ages, and body types. There isn't anyone who cannot practice yoga.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Due to Covid I haven't been to any live events, but I do love walking around the neighborhoods with my dog and admiring everyone's gardens.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
It's important to work with someone who has their own consistent practice, as well as their own teacher whom they practice with. I also think it is important to find someone who has experience working with one on one clients.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Do your due diligence and research the teacher a little bit before committing. Maybe check their website, or social media accounts. Be able to communicate financial concerns, or questions as well as scheduling concerns and questions.
