Lisa Darling

Lisa is a Kripalu trained Vinyasa Yoga Teacher. She is a Registered Yoga Teacher, having completed her 200 hour yoga teacher training program at Kripalu Yoga School, in Stockbridge, Massachusetts in 2018.

Lisa is a long time yoga enthusiast, who has been practicing yoga since 1999. She began with traditional yoga, and quickly became interested in Vinyasa Power Yoga in Newton, Massachusetts. This type of yoga is based on Baptiste Yoga, from the Boston (Cambridge) area. Loving the heated Power Yoga; this became a regular practice for Lisa. 

Later, exploring other types of yoga and meditation, as her practice grew deeper, Lisa, then started Bikram Hot Yoga, where the room is heated to approximately 104 degrees. This style of yoga focuses more on healing the spine, and progresses into a Hatha yoga style during class. 

Completing 30 day challenges of yoga can be transformative. These transformations of healing was attractive to Lisa, especially as her practice grew. Several of the great yoga teachers for hot yoga, mentors to Lisa, come from Portsmouth , NH, Salisbury, Ma (Seacoast, NH). Years of sweat were left at their studios. Thank You.

After moving to the Berkshires in 2016, and having a strong interest in the Kripalu Center, Lisa completed her long desired certification as a yoga teacher. At Kripalu, she learned a great deal about the history of Yoga, as well as, studying Vinyasa style yoga teacher training.

Lisa continues to grow her yoga practice, and hopes to share this love of yoga to her students.

Lisa is also a Certified Trauma Focused Yoga Teacher.

Lisa currently teaches Vinyasa Flow, Restorative/Gentle Yoga, SUP Yoga (Stand Up Paddleboard Yoga), in the Berkshires, Massachusetts.
