Lisa Masters

Clinic Practitioner and Principal Yoga Therapist

Founder of Masters Meridian Yoga School

Bachelor of Health Science (Traditional Chinese Medicine) 2007 | Bachelor of Education (Physical Education) 1986 | HLT52215 Diploma of Shiatsu and Oriental Therapies 2019 | Advanced Diploma of Zen Shiatsu 1995 | Advanced Diploma of Ryoho Yoga Teaching 1996 | Registered Yoga Therapist | Certificate IV in Assessment and Training

“Hi, I’m Lisa Masters, a Sydneysider, and mother of three. I’ve been teaching yoga therapy for 30 years and practicing traditional oriental medicine for 20 years. But I’m not just a yoga therapy teacher, acupuncturist, or practitioner of oriental medicine. What I do is impart knowledge that is thousands of years old by supporting all the different healing therapies and providing my clients with a range of tools that are simple, practical and achievable for Everybody!

Too often we focus on the symptoms and obvious problems with our health, but with my professional experience I am able to identify the root causes of many of these issues. Often we feel great during a class or directly after a treatment, however, I strongly believe that therapy is not just about the class or treatment. Therapy is about understanding your natural balance and then being able to apply the tools I teach you to your daily life. It is important for YOU to take control of your health!

I believe in energy and function and I love to teach, your goals are my passion and I want everyone to understand their own natural balance because ‘only you know you’. Choosing health is empowering and EveryBody deserves to feel good.”

  • Take it to a new level

    I completed my Yoga Teacher Training with Lisa Masters in 2018. Her knowledge of how to utilise Yoga to heal the body is inspiring. If you are serious about taking your yoga teaching or yoga therapy to a whole other level I would highly recommend her courses and classes.

  • Brilliant Theory

    Your theory is brilliant and thorough, and the trainers’ information is clarified and consistent.

  • Technical & Amazing Value

    I was surprised at how much relevant content was in this course. It made me realise just how much I didn’t know about yoga and I’d been doing it for years. The practical elements are excellent and the focus relating the theory across onto actual teaching. A student in progress.

    N.G

  • I think about yoga differently

    A detailed course that showed me a different way to think about yoga. I did this course from overseas and it was easy to login and and the online classes/content & connections were amazing. I can highly recommend.

the harsh truth

the top 4 reasons for failure are…

#1 teaching only a particular number of standard sequences and flows, which leads to repetitive and in-flexible classes.

#2 a lack of individual student attention

#3 a lack of adequate teaching practice on the mat

#4 a lack of overall knowledge of the human body, systems, muscles, functions and influences as they impact the elements of the yoga postures

9 out of 10 yoga courses don’t equip you with the skills and knowledge to….

-confidently start teaching after your course is complete

-teach a variety of students with different abilities

-modify classes for students with specific health concerns

and write your own technically correct classes

grab a tea or coffee and let’s have a chat

✔️ time on the mat extending your personal yogic abilities to give greater depth to your teaching

✔️ a deeper knowledge about yoga and teaching

✔️ stand out from your competitors and be successful as a teacher and in your yoga business

✔️ a deeper level of yoga skills and understanding of how oriental therapies can benefit and enhance your yoga teachings

✔️ a career in yoga

✔️ to start your own yoga business and make an impact

✔️ the ability to write classes, sequence moves and write mini courses that meet the needs of your clients

✔️ knowledge about health and how to support your clients that goes deeper than a regular yoga teacher training course

✔️ flexibility in teaching a variety of clients with a variety of health needs

✔️ structured class plans and guidelines that are tried and proven to construct your own classes and your own resource folio that you can build on throughout your career

✔️ extensive notes and resources easily accessible and useful for reference
