Meet Lian!

Lian Norris is a yoga instructor and occupational therapist giving compassionate, inclusive, and holistic care to people of all ages, genders, and physical / cognitive abilities.

Her love for yoga began over 10 years ago after taking her first classes in Dharamsala, India. After completing her 200 hour yoga teacher training at Down Under Yoga Studio in Boston, Massachusetts, she trained with some of the most renowned yoga teachers in the Boston area including Natasha Rizopoulous, Gregor Singleton, Michael Ponte and Kate Heffernan. As an occupational therapist certified in sensory-enhanced trauma-informed yoga training and specializing in working with people with neurological conditions, her goal is to meet others where they are in their journey of self-discovery, and teaching the nourishing benefits of yoga to be applied on & off the mat.
