Lisa Riente

Lisa Riente, E-RYT 500 hour and IAYT yoga therapist, has been studying yoga since 1997 and teaching since 2004. Upon moving to Camden, SC, in 2005, she recognized her dream of bringing a yoga studio to this charming southern community known for its horses, history and hospitality.

She is a certified yoga therapist with the International Association of Yoga Therapists and is trained in beginner through advanced hatha-style yoga and in senior, childrens, prenatal, Yin and core strength yoga. She has studied at various studios throughout the US and Europe, and is a registered teacher with Yoga Alliance. She completed her 500 RYT training with the Yoga Center of Asheville. Lisa's teaching style is an eclectic blend derived from study in Kundalini, Ashtanga, Anusara, Vinyasa, Jivamukti, Yin and Hatha yoga. She has studied with Manju Jois, David Williams, David Life, Sharon Gannon, Master Paulie Zink, Amy Ippoliti, Beth Shaw and Stephanie Keach, among others.

Her teaching style is compassionate and open-hearted. She encourages without pushing and brings out the best in her students using humor, yogic philosophy, anatomy study, sensitivity and genuine passion. All of Lisa's yoga classes are hatha inspired, meaning that they incorporate postures and  breath work. She teaches in a trauma-informed style to be mindful of all students and their life journeys.
