My Philosophy
We all meet many challenges throughout our lives, and we all have gifts that can help ease each other‘s loads. My gifts are that of compassion, understanding, supporting others in their self awareness and self love. My students often compliment me on how fun and supportive an environment I create in my classes and sessions. People are drawn to work with me because they feel safe and comforted while working to overcome any obstacles they may have in their body. For those that don’t have any major obstacles, they find that integrating this work helps maximize the efficiency of their Workouts and other activities while accommodating for our ever changing bodies as we grow and age. I also work to clear emotional stresses so they do not contribute to or create physical imbalances or pain.
Who I Help
People who like to learn about their bodies and themselves. That enjoy being supported by another person in their endeavors towards improved health and well-being. People that like to have fun while learning. People that are caregivers and deserve to increase the amount of care they’re giving themselves. Gentle sweet grounded people that enjoy community with others that are supportive and kind
Client Results
My clients report improved strength, balance, and reduction in tension or pain in their bodies. One of the biggest things that sets me apart is that I am able to achieve these results without heavy uncomfortable workouts. Everything is customized to your needs and desires. If you want to work hard at a good workout, sweat and be exhausted, you can do so. If you want to gently soften into a lighter state through easy restorative techniques, I am gifted in offering this. I most enjoy the middle road and always like to keep sessions in the fun, enjoyably challenging and the “i want to do this more” zone.
Who I am
Meet Lisa Marinho
I love helping people find new ways to be kind to their bodies and themselves. Teaching them skills to help move into better health, strength, spaciousness, and freedom. I was very athletic when I was young. Like many athletes, I had my fair share of sports injuries. I was also in two car accidents by the age of 20. I have always had a very heavy study and work load and by my mid-twenties found myself stressed, exhausted and in pain much of the time. I started looking for ways to help myself heal in my mid-teens. I found chiropractic, acupuncture, and massage very helpful. Shortly after starting these treatments, I started learning various techniques I could use on my own. As, I learned and became more skilled in motor development theory, yoga, meditation and breath work, I found the ability to rebalance myself on my own, without the need for as much intervention. The more I share this powerful and empowering work with others, the more I also gain for myself. This has become my main passion in life. Giving others the gift of learning how to care for themselves with kindness, fun and stuff that actually works!
Many healing modalities are focused on the client returning for repeated sessions to undo the stresses and strains of everyday life. Through my studies, I have learned and share with others techniques that help you move forward in your everyday life. Ways to move through your day that help support your health and freedom, so you don’t need me to “fix” anything. Instead, I am here to support your continued improvement, enjoyment, and engagement in an active fulfilling life through all its many changes. Most of us enjoy being cared for and passive receiving of health supporting energy. I love to give this to my clients as well. I want this to be food for you to feel better and better, rather than thinking you need me to keep their baseline. This work will give you the ability to improve on your own, and I am here to help you in a creative learning process of how you can feel your best and find your healthiest self
How I Got Started
I started the business as an expression of my love to help people feel better in their lives. I had taught at other studios and done personal private work with my Body Vitality Sessions since 1999 and Yoga since 2005. I decided to open my own studio in October 2019 and was enjoying the company and camaraderie of other yoga instructors and body workers at my studio. Unfortunately, we had large fires in November 2019. All of my yoga instructors needed to take some time off. I took a pause for the studio and then the pandemic hit. I decided not to pursue the studio at that time. In 2023, I reopened the studio again in CA. I moved to Hawaii in 2024 and now offer in person, classes, and sessions here in Hawaii and online. I absolutely love doing this work! My goal is to support as much wellness and balance within my Clients as possible helping people heal in a balanced, physical, emotionally, and healthy way.
