Lisa Jacobson

Lisa Jacobson RYT® 200, is a Certified Yoga Teacher through Yoga Alliance with specialized training in Kids Yoga through Asheville Yoga Center’s Advanced Training Program. Lisa was introduced to yoga at an early childhood education conference and immediately implemented teaching yoga in her classroom. It was her daughter who introduced her to the idea of a personal yoga practice. She said, “Try it, Mom. I think you’ll like it.” Lisa quickly learned yoga is so much more than exercise and loved the way yoga was transforming her life. Prior to earning her teaching certification at iShine, Lisa enjoyed 18 years working in education as a preschool teacher in the university area of Charlotte. She has learned that yoga helps children develop self-regulation, mindfulness, and basic life skills through the integration of physical postures, breathing, meditation and relaxation techniques. Lisa’s gift is her warmth and desire for building connection and inclusivity. Throughout her journey at iShine, Lisa has thoughtfully bridged her knowledge of young children with the inner child that exists in all of us. She frequently reminds those who take her class to remember their glorious light within and the unique miracle we all are. Her vinyasa and stretch classes offer all levels of participants the freedom to practice in the way that suits them best. Her desire is to show up authentically, share her light and journey, and continue her personal growth with the iShine community.
