Lisa Westman,
RYT
Lisa discovered yoga about 14 years ago, initially for the physical benefits. With increased practice she began to develop deeper self awareness and knew this was the path she needed to explore.
Lisa took her RYT 200 teacher training through East to West Yoga in Pickering, as well as certifications in Restorative/Therapeutic Yoga, Yoga for Kids, Yoga for Athletes and Zero Gravity Aerial Yoga.
Through this journey of growth and discovery yoga continues to bring a deeper sense of balance, positivity and awareness to her life. Lisa's hope is that through her teaching she'll be able to help others discover and appreciate the many benefits of yoga both on and off the mat.
Testimonial
"If I could take classes with Chantal daily, I would! I have been practicing yoga for 20 years. Having been taught by a number of yoga teachers, it is now my good fortune to have found Chantal. Chantal is clear and precise in her instruction, with a gentle manner and soothing voice and the sessions are geared to each student’s ability to take the pose within their comfort level. By the end of the class I leave feeling a release in the tension my body holds during the day and a stillness of the mind which allows for clarity and relaxation. Chantal has added a new dimension to my practice with her ability and skills in teaching."
