Lisa Laplace is a New York City-based yoga teacher who has enjoyed practicing various styles of yoga (including Vinyasa, Jivamukti, Hatha, Forrest, Ashtanga, Power Yoga, and Chromatic Yoga) for over a decade.  She completed her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training in Vinyasa Yoga at Equinox Fitness Club. 

Having always lived an active lifestyle – as a dancer and athlete, Lisa started practicing yoga more than a decade ago while juggling work, kids, and life. Over the next several years, her connection with yoga deepened as she discovered ways in which it combined her love of movement and dance with a strong sense of community. In 2025, she took a leap into teacher training and began to teach. 

While Lisa remains a civil rights lawyer by day, becoming a yoga teacher has been a life-changing gift. Coming from a classical yoga background, Lisa embraces its challenge and aims to teach energizing and creative classes with heart as well as fun arm balances and inversions from a learned place. What she has gained from her own practice – much of which has been on her hands – she hopes to inspire in others: to be playful, to find balance and serenity, and to discover inner and outer fortitude.

A ballet, theater, and piano enthusiast, Lisa attended Interlochen Center for the Arts. Lisa lives in Manhattan and has two adult children. They enjoy taking yoga and ballet classes together.
