Lisa Buerk, RAD Mobility and Recovery Specialist and RYT 200, grew up in South Florida and was a children’s dance teacher before becoming a flight attendant. She has lived in New York, California, and finally landed in New Hampshire. When not flying across the country, she loves floating over the local lakes and mountains with her husband in their antique airplanes. She enjoys canoeing, kayaking, hiking, and growing and gathering fresh vegetables in her garden and preparing healthy meals with her husband and friends. Lisa has been studying the human body and how we move for more than 25 years. She completed her 200-hour yoga teacher training at Dragonfly Yoga Barn in 2015 and is currently pursuing her Yoga Medicine therapeutic specialist certification with Tiffany Cruikshank. Through this program, she was introduced to Myofascial Release and completed her initial 55-hours of MFR training. Completing this training and incorporating these techniques into her yoga classes inspired her to obtain her Mobility and Recovery Specialist certification with RAD. Other certifications and training include more than 40-hours of anatomy and physiology training through SBMC, Bernie Clark’s Yin TT, and Pilates Mat certification. Lisa is excited to share self-myofascial release techniques to help you increase mobility, help with pain management, and enhance recovery from injury.

The pelvic floor might not be something that the mind immediately thinks of when it comes to health and wellness, but that part of your body plays a big role!

The pelvic muscles stretch like a hammock from the tailbone to the pubic bone, and from one sitting bone to the other. Pelvic muscles support the bladder, uterus, and bowel organs. Additionally, the muscles of the pelvic floor work with the abdominal and back muscles to stabilize and support the spine.

The importance of the pelvic floor is often overlooked until it is not working correctly. While pelvic muscles are hidden from view, they can be consciously controlled and therefore trained.

Learn about the importance of the pelvic floor, how to locate yours, and exercises to strengthen pelvic muscles.
