Kaiut yoga is a practice designed by chiropractor Francisco Kaiut that focuses on working the joints (instead of stretching the muscles). The format is highly accessible to all people, regardless of flexibility, strength, age, or experience.

Lisa Joy Hanckel is a C-IAYT yoga therapist, licensed acupuncturist, and longtime educator with more than 30 years of embodied practice. Her recovery from a brain injury shaped her deeply compassionate, science-informed approach to movement and nervous system regulation.

Lisa teaches gentle, sensation-based yoga rooted in decades of study of subtle movement and joint mechanics. Her classes explore the joints through a variety of angles to support circulation, mobility, balance, and overall ease. Every pose is treated as a direction rather than a shape to perform—customizable for every body, in every condition.

Welcoming all bodies of every age, shape, size, and ability, Lisa creates a warm, non-competitive space where students can settle their nervous systems, reconnect with their bodies through curiosity and compassion, and rediscover resilience and functional freedom in everyday life. Come as you are and cultivate a calmer mind, a more comfortable body, and a deeper sense of presence.

Thursdays, Ongoing | 9:30 - 10:30 am | Pay by the month or $18/class
