After years of decoding the mysteries of proteins and cellular pathways, I’ve taken a new kind of deep dive — one into the breath, body, and spirit. My name is Lisa Eshun-Wilson, and I’m so thrilled to introduce myself as a newly certified 200-hour yoga instructor thanks to Pete Guinosso’s Lighting the Path 200-Hour Training Program at Green Yogi Studio in Berkeley, CA.

My practice draws on the grounding discipline of Ashtanga from Mysore, India, the dynamic rhythm of Vinyasa, and the introspective softness of Yin, which draws inspiration from Taoist traditions and was formalized in more recent years by teachers integrating Indian Hatha yoga with Chinese medicine principles. Each of these traditions brings something powerful — structure, energy, stillness — and my classes aim to blend them in a way that’s both playful and empowering.
Born in Norway to Ghanaian and Czech parents and raised in Los Angeles, I’ve always existed at the intersection of cultures and identities. As a Black woman navigating academia, industry, and now the wellness world, cultural humility, restorative justice, and kindness aren’t just buzzwords — they’re practices I hold close. When you come to my class, I want you to feel seen, heard and free.

Expect joy, sweat, and handstands! I like to start from the simplicity of Tadasana, or Mountain Pose, and guide you into expressive, full-body movement — all while syncing breath to flow. I bring a background in biochemistry (PhD, UC Berkeley, 2019) and pair it with a growing mastery of anatomy and holistic wellness, creating a class that feels rooted in both knowledge, or Jnana, and care, or Bhakti.

Whether you're new to yoga or looking to deepen your practice, I hope you’ll find something here: a moment of breath, a spark of joy, a deeper connection to your body. My goal is to offer more than just movement — I want to offer a sacred space for healing, laughter, and community.
