Lisa Mechler, RYT500, RPYT, CCC-SLP (she/her) is a Reiki master, registered yoga teacher, licensed Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP), mom and animal lover. She lives in the indigenous land of the Ohlone people, currently known as the San Francisco Bay Area, CA.   Lisa was drawn to yoga in 2006 as a form of exercise but, let’s be honest, she lived a block away from a yoga studio so it was convenient. After continued practice, she noticed her inner dialogue shifting: she was kinder to herself, more patient, and was taking things less personally. She felt the energetic interconnectedness between all beings and our planet, so she incorporated the yogic principle of ahimsa (“non-harming”) into her life by adopting a vegan lifestyle and putting effort into being a conscious consumer.   Lisa’s teachings offer a unique blend of knowledge and expertise, including 8 years of experience working with patients in acute care hospitals. Her familiarity with various medical conditions, neurological diagnoses, anatomy & physiology of the pulmonary system, and the musculoskeletal system, paired with philosophy, somatics and energy work training, allows her offerings to honor the whole person. She deeply believes that if we can all strengthen our connection to our Higher Self, we can live from a place of freedom and authenticity, collectively making the world a better place.   Lisa received a Master’s in Communicative Disorders in 2009 from San Francisco State University and completed her 200-hour yoga training with Shambhava Yoga Konalani in 2016. She received a certificate in Prenatal Yoga from Jeanna Lurie and Hillary Easom of Lotus Blossom Prenatal Yoga in 2019 and completed an additional 300 hours of training with Amy Ippoliti of Vesselify School of Yoga in 2022. She received her Reiki master certification in 2024 with Lynn Blos of Healed by the Light after years of benefiting from the practice. She founded Lisa Mechler Wellness in 2022 to help support others in finding more peace, joy, and alignment in their lives and is devoted to continued studying to honor the traditions of these practices and to better serve her community.
