Bio

Lisa Goodwin is known for her unique and inspirational style of teaching which combines both life coaching and physical asana.

Lisa began teaching health and fitness at the age of 17 for My Fair Lady Health Clubs where she became the youngest spa manager in company history. Lisa was introduced to the teachings of motivational speakers Zig Ziglar, Anthony Robbins and studied with Deepak Chopra, Marianne Williamson, and Wayne Dyer. She also dove into the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda and a Course in Miracles, which changed the course of her own life. She later went on to become a life coach to fulfill a desire to pay it forward.

Born a spiritual seeker still many questions remained. Divine guidance continued and she was led to her first yoga class with Jimmy Barkan in 1993. Lisa states “I felt like I was home, yoga filled in all the missing pieces for me. Of course not all at once, but thru time yoga lead me to a deeper understanding of myself that I would not have discovered without the practice.”

She became a teacher of yoga in 1997. Her curiosity to better understand physical alignment led her to the study of many different styles of yoga, training with some of the most well known teachers in the country. She has since developed a sequence designed to encourage the beginner and challenge the seasoned student.

Lisa is ERYT500 certified and has over 10,000 hours teaching experience - also certified in Neuro-Linguistic Programming and Reiki Level II. She currently teaches at Jimmy Barkan’s Fort Lauderdale, FL studio and also teaches at his 200 Hour Level I teacher training. Her students range from beginners to professional athletes, and she has helped certify over 500 teachers. Inspirational Speaker and founder of “The Conversation Continues,” Lisa leads workshops and retreats all over the world creating a truly transformational experience on all levels.
