Her cues of pose transition enable you to move smoothly without the need to look around at what others are doing. She is also all about your practice being yours and what you can do and that each time on your mat may be different. She is happy to assist you to find the pose within your body. She will guide you, to find the ease and steadiness in your individual practice. Pam has seen students come to class wound up from their day of work and leave with the calmness that can last until the next time they come to their mat. There is nothing better than seeing everyone in savasana at the end of a class - the beauty of stillness and happiness, where no one wants to leave.

Lisa brings enthusiasm and high-level energy into all her Buti classes and the physical intensity of her practice is always met with the same level of humour and fun. Join Lisa on the mat, and you can expect a fun and intense workout that will leave you feeling grounded, smiley and sweaty!
