Indulge yourself on this wonderful yoga holiday in the tranquil medieval walled village of Casperia, surrounded by fields of sunflowers, distant mountains and tiny farm houses. The yoga retreat has a range of special guest yoga teachers throughout the year, and if you join this holiday on 5 September and 12 September, you’ll be taught by the lovely Lisa Quish.

What is her background?
Lisa is originally from Ireland. Her mom taught yoga in the seventies, so it is not surprising that the legacy was passed on. She started to practice regularly in her early twenties and when she went on retreat for the first time eight years ago she was inspired to follow the teaching path.

What value has yoga in her life?
‘Bring a little yoga into everything you do and life just becomes a little simpler’
Lisa sees yoga as a unique system of study and practice that integrates seamlessly into all areas of life; recognizing and accommodating many different needs, life stages, cultures and personalities. She trusts in the power of Yoga as the supreme teacher, inviting us through a 5000-year-old practice of asana, pranayama and mediation to explore through the body mind and spirit our true nature.

What are Lisa’s qualifications?
In 2007 she completed a 200 hour teacher training with Dave Curtis and continued her studies in yoga Therapy with Yoga Therapy Ireland. Lisa is currently completing a 500 hour program in Dublin under the guidance of wonderful teachers like Jodie Rufty, James Higgins and Ciara Cronin.

What will learning with her be like?
Lisa aims to bring the balance of learning and lightness to her classes, and will provide individual attention for each student so that they can discover the freedom and discipline that a well – balanced and joyful practice brings.
