Lisa Ingle-Stevens has been practicing yoga for over 25 years and teaching for more than two decades. Her passion for people and learning is evident from the moment you meet her. She believes that partnership, accountability, and fun are the keys to personal growth. A graduate of Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas, with a degree in Business Administration, Lisa took her first Hot Yoga class in 1999 and immediately knew she wanted to teach and share the transformative power of yoga. In 2002, she completed the Bikram Yoga Teacher Training Certification in Los Angeles and co-founded The Union Fitness & Fun, opening her first studio in 2004. Since then, she has co-opened two additional yoga studios in the San Antonio area to help spread and expand the healing benefits of yoga and strength training.
In addition to teaching Bikram Yoga, Power Yoga, Inferno Pilates, Barre, and Mat Pilates, Lisa holds a Level 1 CrossFit certification and 500 ERYT Yoga certifications. She is a mentoring business coach to entrepreneurs and fitness teachers worldwide. In 2019, Lisa founded The U Institute, an education and leadership development company focused on creating lifelong learners and empowering others to live their best lives. She is certified in Leadership Development with Lightyear Leadership under Susanne Conrad and PAX with Alison Armstrong. Lisa hosts workshops and retreats globally on leadership, yoga teacher training, and personal development.
Lisa loves spending time with her husband, Kyle, their 12-year old daughter, Olivia, and their dogs, Abby, Charlie, and JoJo. She enjoys traveling, teaching, and making the most of each day with friends and family.
