Hello, I'm Lisa French Wixted.
Since 2012, I've guide individuals on their wellness journeys through accessible, connection-based yoga and mindfulness practices. As the founder and owner of Connections Yoga, I design themed classes that weave education with breathwork, intentional movement, deep stillness, and meaningful connections. I am passionate about helping beginners build confidence, embrace mindfulness, and receive the vast benefits of yoga. My teaching spans generations: connecting with individuals to build confidence in their wellness journeys; supporting seniors with healthy aging, fall-risk prevention, post-surgery recovery, and everyday comfort; guiding new moms to safely rebuild strength and bond with their little ones; and bringing science-themed education to kids. Connections Yoga is rooted in the deep belief that yoga is not only about connecting with your body, breath, and mind but also connecting with those around you. My mission is to make yoga accessible, supportive, and empowering while fostering authentic connections for improved well-being.
