Lisa Feder is a full-time Yoga instructor, Certified iRest teacher, and wellness consultant living in Austin, Texas and Santa Fe, New Mexico. She has had a passion for all things wellness for as long as she can remember. Prior to her work in wellness, Lisa spent over 20 years in the corporate areas of brand management, strategic planning, market research and advertising and promotion. While working in the corporate world, she began teaching fitness classes in her free time. This led her to explore Yoga, and she fell in love with the way it made her and her students feel— physically, emotionally and energetically. After teaching part-time for many years, she took the leap and started Being Well Yoga in 2014, where she brings Yoga and meditation on-site to companies to help employees learn how to live healthier, more balanced lives. She also teaches in studios, schools, senior centers, parks and private homes. She leads workshops and seminars about stress management and how to bring mindfulness into the office. She is on the faculty of several Yoga teacher training programs, and leads retreats in all over the world, including Italy, Costa Rica, Galapagos and Ireland. Her approach is balanced, and she likes to bring humor, challenge and deep relaxation into her practices. Lisa is especially interested in helping students find a Yoga and mindfulness practice that really works for them, and she believes that Yoga can provide more ease and comfort to all. She has seen the effects of a healthy lifestyle on her family as well and wants to share. As a wellness coach, Lisa loves helping people explore how to incorporate healthy habits into their daily lives in a fun and sustainable way. One of her programs, a week of Being Well, is an inclusive and integrated approach to mindfulness in eating, working, exercising, meditating, media usage and sleeping. Her favorite thing is hearing about the positive change her participants make for themselves. Another workshop, “A Sigh of Relief”, teaches how Yoga practices can be used during the day to manage stress before it becomes chronic.
