Search for Sanctuary
My journey with yoga didn’t begin in a pristine, mirrored studio; it began with a quiet, introspective search for a place to truly breathe. For a long time, I looked for a sense of peace that didn’t feel fragile – a strength that wasn’t rigid or forced, but deeply resilient. I found that mirror in nature, specifically in the silhouette of the Elm tree. An Elm stands firm against shifting winds, not by fighting the air, but by remaining rooted in the earth and flowing with the seasons. Wild Elm Yoga was born from this realization: A happy and healthy life requires both a Rooted Spirit and a Wild Heart.
Trained in the Sacred Valley of Peru, I earned my 200-hour yoga teacher certification from School Yoga Institute and am a proud member of Yoga Alliance. After graduating from Minnesota State University Moorhead with a Bachelor of Science degree in Mass Communications, I went on to become an award-winning journalist. I am also currently a Healing Touch (biofield therapy) student. For me, love and connection is what this human experience is all about.
My recovery journey is what first brought me to the mat and remains the embodiment of my teaching. Yoga and breathwork are the tools that helped me to finally listen to my body instead of trying to escape it. This journey ignited a passion to share these tools with others. Whether you are navigating the noise of daily life, stress, recovery, or mental health challenges, all humans need a way to find lasting calm, clarity, and connection.
I started this mobile studio to bring the sanctuary to you. Whether we are meeting for a local pop-up in the fresh air or a private session in your backyard, my mission is to help you regulate your nervous system and find peace. I believe yoga is for every BODY, regardless of life path or body type. There is no requirement to find the way home to yourself. At Wild Elm Yoga, we are not just practicing poses; we are building the resilience to stay centered in love, while making sure to have some soulful fun along the way.

Clients feedback
Practicing yoga with Wild Elm Yoga has been such a gift. My first class with Lisa felt so welcoming, being new to the area her energy was a calming presence. Lisa creates a safe space for everyone, beautifully weaving the physical practice of asanas together with pranayama in her classes. Beyond gaining an incredible teacher, I feel I’ve gained a friend for life at Wild Elm Yoga.
Carmen Reyna – Anheluk
Lisa has a way of walking into a room and instantly changing its energy, not with force, but with a calm, steady presence that makes people feel safe enough to exhale for the first time in a long time. Her yoga class isn’t just about movement, it’s about rebuilding trust in your own body and mind, especially for those navigating the challenges of recovery…

At Wild Elm Yoga, Lisa creates a Hatha yoga experience that offers more than just physical movement. It’s a space for self-care and connection. It’s unlike any other yoga class I’ve ever attended. From the serene settings and breathwork to the slower flow and final resting pose, it’s more than yoga — it’s a sensorial experience. And the best part? It’s accessible to all, from the complete novice to the advanced yogi. You won’t regret giving it a try; it’s the kind of reset that keeps calling you back.
