Lisa Gonzalez
Lisa Gonzalez is a seasoned educator, yoga teacher, and retreat leader with over 20 years of experience teaching in a wide range of settings. With a background as a former classroom teacher, Lisa brings a grounded, heart-centered approach to the practices of yoga, meditation, and mindfulness. She is a 500HR certified yoga instructor and a Master Trainer with LifeTime Fitness, where she has led over 25 Yoga Teacher Trainings nationwide. Her passion lies in empowering teachers and students alike to discover their inner wisdom and build a sustainable, soulful practice.
Lisa has studied with renowned teachers including Jonny Kest, and most recently deepened her own meditation journey through completing a 10-day Vipassana course. She credits the late S.N. Goenka as one of her most profound influences, and her teachings reflect a reverence for stillness, presence, and self-inquiry.
Lisa is the founder of Sacred Space Retreats, a global retreat company dedicated to creating transformative experiences in inspiring locations around the world. From Bali to Costa Rica, Morocco to Italy, her retreats are intentionally curated to hold space for personal growth, meaningful connection, and embodied healing.
Known for her warm presence and ability to weave philosophy into practice, Lisa believes yoga and meditation are not just tools for the mat — they are pathways to living a more intentional and connected life. Through breath, movement, and community, she encourages her students to soften into who they already are and trust in their own unfolding.
