Lisa Gonzalez
Lisa Gonzalez has been teaching in a variety of roles for over 20 years. As a former school teacher, Lisa understands the importance and relevance of yoga, meditation and mindfulness. She has studied yoga and meditation from world renowned yoga teacher Jonny Kest. Lisa is also a “teacher of teachers” as she leads some of the most successful Yoga Teacher Trainings in the nation for LifeTime Fitness. She also holds the role of Master Trainer with Lifetime and travels extensively to train and empower yoga teachers. Recently completing her first 10 Day Vipassana Meditation, she considers the late S.N. Goenka one of her greatest teachers.
Lisa, who has been profiled in South Jersey Magazine, is an influential advocate for the benefits of breath work and yoga to empower all to understand how to “belong in our own bodies”. As a mother of three, including one son with autism, Lisa is witness to the acceptance one learns through a commitment to meditation and yoga. She believes the acceptance one learns on the mat can be applied to their everyday lives, where the real practice begins.
Founder of Sacred Space Yoga Retreats, Lisa leads transformational yoga retreats, nationally and internationally, around the world. As Chief Meditation Officer, Lisa is proud to partner with Meditation4Leadership, an organization whose mission is to build leadership skills and enhance wellness by teaching meditation to business, nonprofit and community leaders, resulting in improved individual and organizational performance.
Lisa believes that a personal commitment to yoga, meditation, and mindfulness will enhance all the relationships in your life and give you the tools to discover the real teacher that lies within us all.
