I believe in the transformative power of Yoga and Meditation to empower, heal, and reconnect us to our sense of aliveness. Through Yoga, we experience personal victories by pushing past our physical and mental boundaries. My intention is to share the inspiration I receive from my practice each day, with the hope of sparking positive transformation in others. My name is Lisa Hakim, and I am a certified Thai Yoga Bodywork and Sound Healing Practitioner, as well as a Yoga Teacher. I completed my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training at Peak Beings Yoga School in Hawaii, and have since expanded my expertise through additional certifications in Yin Yoga, Trauma-Informed Yoga, Yoga Trapeze, Restorative Yoga, and Jivamukti's Spiritual Warrior Class. My training has taken me to New York, Los Angeles, Bali, Amsterdam, and beyond, offering me a truly global perspective on healing practices.
In January 2017, with the goal of sharing the transformative benefits of Yoga, Meditation, and Bodywork, I founded Namastuy, a Healing Collective in Brooklyn, New York. In 2021, my husband and I relocated to Leipzig, Germany, where, after the birth of our two children, I opened the Leipzig Yoga Collective in October 2024. Now, two years later I am happy to share that we just opened our second Leipzig Location in Schleußig in Könneritzstraße. 88 - Leipzig Yoga Collective [West].
In addition to my studios, I am excited to offer Yoga Classes & Sound Healing across multiple locations in Leipzig and Halle, bringing these healing practices to a wider community and deepening their impact.
