LISA DEAN
Lisa has been practicing yoga since 2000. She is a 500 hour Registered yoga teacher with Yoga Alliance. She started her intensive yoga journey with a Bikram practice, then completed a 200 hour training in Baptiste vinyasa yoga (2012). This was followed by trainings in Hot Yoga, Wall yoga, Ashtanga yoga, Yin yoga and Yoga for Osteoporosis. Lisa enjoys many styles of yoga, but her main practice is Ashtanga. Her Ashtanga yoga teachers include David Oliver (Dave’s Ashtanga Phoenix), Lisa Schremp (Ashtanga Yoga Phoenix) and Greg Nardi (Ashtanga Yoga Worldwide - Ft Lauderdale). She has also practiced with Tim Miller, Dharma Mittra, Shrath Jois, Baron Baptiste, David Swenson and Daria Ralko.
Lisa continues her teaching education with a 40 hour intensive Ashtanga training with David Swenson in June 2025.
Lisa is excited to guide students by working one on one in the Ashtanga practice method called “mysore”. The “mysore” room holds an open space for students to learn a self guided series of yoga poses, breath work and dristi (focused gaze) receiving individualized guidance from the teacher.
Off the mat, Lisa enjoys sewing quilts and baking cakes and bread. She lives with her husband in downtown Saratoga Springs. She has 2 adult children and is usually seen walking her little french bulldog, Princess Charlotte!
