Vena is the spiritual name given to Georgina Lisee whilst studying in the birth place of yoga, Rishikesh, India. Also known as Grog from the rock band Die So Fluid, a thread of authenticity flows through her actions as an artist and yogi with a desire for truth, connection, spiritual elevation and evolution for all. We each deserve to live a healthy, happy, great life. Bliss is your birth rite. The meaning of the name ‘Vena’ comes from both the stringed instrument of Saraswati, goddess of music, arts, learning, through which she channels cosmic intelligence, and the ancient yogic philosophy of the Vedas. The name perfectly reflects her passion for transformation and sacred sound.
A Londoner relocated to LA, she first ‘clicked’ with Kundalini yoga at Golden Bridge. An E-RYT-500, she completed the 200 hr Yogaworks training with Dani Ibarra. Passionate to deeply immerse, she responded to the call of the Himalayas and took a transformational 300 hr certification in India. With eight years of teaching experience working with a wide variety of clients in studios, homes, community parks, corporations, assisted living, memory care and more …her wish is to continue to share the wisdom, to empower and to spread light.
Vena draws upon her years as a travelling singer and session musician, an artist, interest in therapeutic yoga, reiki and sound healing, to fully enrich what she offers, to elevate and provide you with a practice specific to her clients needs. Vena is also a certified teacher of Naad (Sound) Yoga which encompasses study of Non Violent Communication, mantra, methods of chanting, Indian classical music and meditative techniques taught by Anandra George HeartOfSound.in training. She loves to integrate these sacred gems sound tools into her art, teaching and everyday life..
As a Master Teacher, she continues to expand into the areas of workshops and specialized classes with this incredibly powerful, holistic, integrative practice, which stems from the Vedantic and Tantric traditions of the BabaJi lineage. This full spectrum practice integrates wisdom, meditation, breath work, Kundalini & Kriya Yoga, mantra, sound and asana to expand the mind and heart into bliss consciousness, so we may experience liberation on all levels, in our true essence, love.
“As yogis we cultivate the awareness that allows us to bring what is needed in the given moment, and I find being of service brings immense balance and harmony to the creative fire that continuously burns within.”
