Lisa discovered HOT Yoga through her very first Bikram class and was hooked immediately. The heat, the routine, the focus, the challenge, and the moments of rest in between all came together as something greater than the sum of its parts. For her, the practice offers a complete reset. Stepping into class feels like entering another world; stepping out feels like leaving behind what no longer serves you. A kind of catharsis that brings clarity, energy, and renewed perspective.

After many years of practising, Lisa felt called to deepen her understanding of the sequence and the philosophy behind it. She completed her yoga teacher training at the beautiful D’Alijo Yoga Center in Portugal, driven by a desire to share the practice and inspire others to experience its benefits for themselves. In her classes, she combines dedication to the practice with an appreciation for the transformative power of consistency.

Having lived in Rotterdam for over sixteen years and worked in its cultural scene for more than a decade, she knows Rotterdam inside out. As the founder of Roffa Mon Amour, she has spent years creating experiences that bring people together through film, culture, and storytelling.

Away from the studio, you’ll often find her in a cinema discovering new films, wandering through a museum, or spending time in her garden, or as we like to call it: ‘volkstuintje’. There, she attempts to grow flowers, fruit, and vegetables while enjoying a slower pace and a closer connection to nature.
