about Lisa
Lisa Ternes is a Yoga and Pilates Reformer teacher, A Rolfer (Structural Bodywork) of over 13 years, and a NASM certified Personal Trainer with a MS in Biomechanics and Ergonomics from NYU. Her interest began as a way to balance the deteriorating effects of a play hard attitude in athletics, and eventually became her main focus as a career. Lisa has dedicated her life to the study of the body, its mechanics, physiology, and the interplay between mind and body, both in practice and in theory. She began her inquiry questioning the dualistic western portrayal of mind and body in her philosophical studies as an undergrad at NYU. Then after years of clinical experience as a structural bodyworker in NYC, she returned to grad school to gain a Biomechanical understanding of the joints and human tissues. Lisa aims to create interest in the nuances of movement, empowering her clients to find grace in any and all tasks. When gravity assists the symmetry of the body, true strength and balanced power can blossom.
