Since then, she has found immense joy in guiding students through their practice and sharing her love for yoga with every person who steps into her classes. She is the proud owner of Bliss Yoga & Mindfulness Studio, where she continues to build a safe and welcoming space for growth, connection, and transformation through yoga.

Lisa Breitenwischer

500hr RYT Holistic Health Coach Reiki II

Facing intense deadlines and constant stress in the Dallas corporate world, I originally turned to Power Yoga as a sanctuary. What started as a physical outlet quickly became a total lifestyle shift — I didn't just feel stronger and leaner, I gained a profound sense of mental clarity and focus. My teaching journey began in 2007 with a 200-hour Power Vinyasa training under Kurt Johnson at American Power Yoga. Seeking deeper roots, I completed a 300-hour Bhakti Flow certification with Rusty Wells in San Francisco and became a certified Holistic Health Coach (IIN) in 2011. I've completed advanced studies with Leslie Kaminoff (Anatomy), Jill Miller (Yoga Tune Up), Rod Stryker (Tantra), and Sadie Nardini (Core Power). I aim to provide a practice that is as restorative for the spirit as it is strengthening for the body.

Hannah

Hi! I'm Hannah, and I have lived in Pensacola since 2006. I traded the mountains of Colorado for our beautiful beaches, but am still a mountain girl at heart. I originally started practicing yoga about nine years ago to help with physical pain, not knowing how transformative it would be for my entire well-being. Yoga taught me how to slow down, tune in, get out of my head — and continuously reminds me to love and accept myself fully, flaws and all. I am passionate about sharing the benefits of yoga with others, on and off the mat. I offer flows that are intentional, energizing, and grounded in breath, with an emphasis on presence over perfection. I believe yoga is for every body, and my classes are a safe space to show up exactly as you are.

Signature Class

Alexandra

Rishikesh Trained Hatha & Vinyasa

Originally from Colombia, I discovered yoga at the age of 15, and it has been a transformative journey ever since. This practice helped me thrive in a competitive environment, ultimately earning me a golf scholarship to Jacksonville State University. My love for yoga has taken me to Rishikesh, India — often called the yoga capital of the world — where I've studied Hatha and Vinyasa Ashtanga multiple times. I believe yoga is more than physical postures; it's a path of devotion, a journey toward higher states of consciousness, and ultimately, complete freedom. I find immense joy in teaching asana, pranayama, and meditation, encouraging students to move beyond identifying with their thoughts and instead embrace the silence within.

Signature Class

Vinyasa Flow — Heart Opening

Meditation, Pranayama, and Asana woven together into a holistic practice that opens the heart and quiets the mind.
