Lisa is a one of Living Yoga & Health’s original teachers. She ran and co-directed the studio with Jayelle Lindsay for over 15 years and has helped to make it the warm and vibrant place it is. Lisa brings decades of experience to her teaching. With a background in Early Childhood Education she helps students access their youthfulness and innate sense of movement and breath. Lisa is certified through the Kripalu Centre, Esther Myers Studio and a recent graduate of Chakra teacher training through Sacred Centers in California. A recent sabbatical took her to India where she immersed herself in the traditional teachings of yoga. With depth of wisdom and a lighthearted approach, Lisa’s classes are insightful, playful, and accessible to all ages and abilities.

Jayelle is a certified yoga teacher and registered physiotherapist who brings 45 years of experience in rehabilitation and movement re-education to her students and clients. After graduating, she completed 20 years of full- time work in rehabilitation settings around the world including Switzerland, New Zealand and Canada. While working in Toronto, she began incorporating yoga practices into her treatment programs and as a certified yoga instructor she moved to Guelph in 1995 to open Living Yoga & Health (now Arrive Yoga & Mindfulness). There she combined yoga instruction with a private physiotherapy practice focussed on movement re-education. During that time she offered multiple courses including anatomy instruction, yoga teacher training, the Human Home, Understanding Osteoporosis and many more. After the sale of Living Yoga & Health, Jayelle continues to offer physiotherapy treatment in Guelph on a part-time basis, and movement exploration classes at Arrive Yoga. She continues her studies through Body Mind Centering with Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen.

Discovering yoga changed my life. Since becoming a yoga teacher in the early ‘90’s, I’ve been on a journey of learning and sharing. Passionate about keeping myself, my students and my clients strong and vibrant, my teaching is all about understanding the body from a functional perspective. My Pilates’ training in Anatomy & Biomechanics, Diverse Populations: Athletes, Seniors and Pre/Post Rehab are based on the latest research in physiotherapy and osteopathy. I am Level 3 certified in the osteopathic-based method known as ELDOA. An ELDOA class is like the icing on the cake: combining functional Pilates concepts as preparation to ready the body for the challenging, meditative stillness of ELDOA poses. Reminiscent of the ancient yoga practice that first inspired me, I offer a mindful practice from a modern, science-based platform to keep bodies moving well and with ease.
