Lisa Pineda

Lisa Pineda is a yoga and meditation teacher, author and coach. She is an advanced certified yoga instructor with more than 20 years of experience, trained in New York City, and is also certified as a mindfulness meditation guide. Before she taught yoga, she completed over 2,000 hours in acute and clinical care. Her background also includes work as an award-winning multimedia journalist. She brings these threads together to create what she describes as endless space for authenticity.

Lisa is the creator of Yoga For Fertility, which offers programs, classes and personal consultations that use yoga, breathwork and meditation to support healthy conception and birth. The work grew out of her own struggle to get pregnant. After more than a year of trying, she was told she had only a 10% chance of success even with IVF. She had been pregnant before and miscarried, and she refused to accept that outcome. She kept up her daily routine and deepened her practices. After a year of fertility tests, medications and stress, she became pregnant. She is now the mother of a young son, Eli. She advocates for individuals and families who are struggling to start a family.

She is the author of Finally F*cking Fertile: Using Yoga, Meditation & Breathwork to Conceive, and the host of The Dismantling You podcast. She is a two-time TEDx speaker and the executive producer of the documentary "The Yogi". She also leads retreats around the world and guides yoga and meditation on Insight Timer.
