Lisa Sakai, RYT

Lisa has been an avid yoga practitioner for over 20 years and has found all types of yoga beneficial for her wellbeing and spirit. As a young child, she learned martial arts from her father, specifically Shito-ryu Karate, and won kata competitions.

The word “kata” in Japanese means “form,” and she felt the detailed patterns of movements to be very similar to yoga. Later in life, she began seeking something much more spiritual and found Kundalini Yoga. She is trained and certified as a Kundalini Yoga instructor from the Soul of Yoga (SOY) in San Diego, California, under Guru Amrit and Dr. Dana Reece. Aquarian Souls is a non-profit organization that serves a community of Kundalini yogis born out of training at SOY. Lisa serves on the board of Aquarian Souls to help support building retreats and workshops and share their teachings.
