about me
A born and raised New Yorker, Lyss has been sharing her passion for Yoga since 2009. Early on in her teaching career, she began an Ashtanga practice that would heavily influence her classes. Lyss is 500RYT certified, and has over 1000 hours of training in Vinyasa, Hatha, Hot Vinyasa, Moksha, Yin Yoga and Acro Yoga. She believes in a balanced practice that helps us to be present and to let go of the distractions and doubts that create our everyday dis-ease. She finds that through a physically and mentally challenging practice, we can find a sense of calm and grow our practice by applying what we do on the mat, off the mat.
Lyss teaches group classes in New York City at FYRA Yoga and Warrior Bridge NYC. She is also available for private lessons, corporate classes, and circus performances.

Out of office, in my body
- Nicaragua 21-28 2027 -
Join Lyss and Katharine on a 8 day, 7 night retreat in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua, in the Escameca Eco-Lodge, Costa Dulce, located on the coast and surrounded by the jungle. Start the day with morning meditation, luxuriate in daily asana right over the water, and dive deep into your practice with specialty workshops. You can explore your edges with optional off-site excursions, and expect plenty of free time to relax and enjoy the gorgeous nature around you. The retreat center is located directly on the beach, which means unlimited access to the crystal blue waters, nighttime swims and the sound of ocean waves to wake you up and soothe you to sleep.
