Meet the Founder- Lisa Robertson-Smith
Lisa Robertson is the visionary founder of I Am Yogi Studios, a Black woman-owned wellness space in Queens dedicated to making yoga and mindfulness accessible, culturally relevant, and community-centered.
With a background in psychology, finance, and entrepreneurship, Lisa created I Am Yogi Studios with a deeper mission: to provide a space where individuals—especially Black women—can reconnect with their bodies, manage stress, and prioritize their mental and physical well-being in an environment that feels both empowering and authentic.
Since its inception, I Am Yogi Studios has grown into more than a yoga studio—it is a movement rooted in healing, representation, and community. Through classes, workshops, school partnerships, and large-scale community events, Lisa continues to expand access to wellness across Queens and beyond.
Her work bridges the gap between traditional wellness practices and real-life experiences, using movement, breath, culture, and connection as tools for transformation both on and off the mat.
