We had the good fortune of connecting with Lisa Collins and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Lisa, can you share the most important lesson you’ve learned over the course of your career?

The journey I’ve embarked on as the founder of To Each is Om Yoga & Wellness has been deeply transformative, teaching me invaluable lessons in compassion, flexibility, and the strength of community.
This venture began from a place of personal struggle. On March 27, 2014, I found myself overwhelmed by anxiety, a moment that became a turning point in my life. I remember the kindness of the paramedic in the ambulance, his reassuring words, and his simple yet profound advice to find solace in yoga. That conversation planted a seed of hope and direction in my heart.
From that day, my path became clear – to build a community where individuals, especially those grappling with anxiety and searching for purpose, could find support and empowerment. In November 2020, I opened our first studio in Snellville, Georgia, focusing on Ancient Egyptian Yoga and holistic wellness practices. However, growth and evolution are part of any journey. After a year, I felt the need to expand, leading to the opening of a second studio that offered an even broader spectrum of yoga classes and community events.
But with growth comes change. This year, I embraced a significant pivot – moving from a brick-and-mortar space to hosting rooftop yoga classes in Grayson, Georgia. Partnering with Gwinnett County in September to host Yoga in the Park sessions. Now hosting weekly yoga sessions at Fyre & Wata Metaphysical Wellness. This shift has been a powerful learning experience, reinforcing my belief in the fluidity and resilience of our mission at To Each is Om.

Another profound lesson has been understanding the value of teamwork. Initially, I tried to juggle multiple roles – from HR to marketing and teaching. It was exhausting, teaching me the importance of having a team that shares our vision and values. This realization has been crucial in shaping a supportive and collaborative environment at To Each is Om.

Our goal at To Each is Om is to offer a sanctuary of healing and self-discovery. We strive to make the therapeutic benefits of yoga accessible to everyone, creating a safe and inclusive space for individuals from all walks of life, especially those who have faced mental wellness challenges like anxiety.
As I continue on this path of wellness and empowerment, I invite you to join us, whether you’re seeking a space for healing or a community to grow with. I am here to support and uplift you on your journey towards well-being, blending ancient practices with modern inclusivity.

Wellness is your universal right, a journey that begins within, connecting the mind, body, and soul in a harmonious existence. ~Lisa Collins

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
What I am most proud of and excited about? It’s this incredible journey. There are moments when I simply pause, reflecting on all the remarkable milestones I’ve achieved, the obstacles I’ve fearlessly leaped over, and I offer my heartfelt gratitude to The Most High. How did I reach my current professional heights? I got here by embracing risk, unapologetically rejecting the grip of fear, and embracing failure as a valuable teacher. I firmly believe that every stumble holds a profound lesson.
Was it easy? If it were easy, it wouldn’t hold my interest. I recall investing time to master the art of screen printing apparel. Why? Because knowledge is power, and understanding the process and costs safeguards against exploitation.
And if it wasn’t easy, how did I overcome challenges? I conquered them through the practice of stillness. I channeled my focus towards what truly matters, discerning between meaningful pursuits and mere distractions.
What invaluable lessons have I gathered along this journey? One crucial lesson is recognizing the mountains. You see, once you can identify them, you can decide whether to scale them or navigate around them. Not everything is worth the climb, and it’s perfectly fine to pivot.
So, what message do I want the world to take away about me and my brand, To Each is OM? To Each is OM is more than a brand; it’s a global symbol of the inner peace and boundless joy that resides within each of us. It’s a testament to the extraordinary feats we can accomplish when we harness our minds and intentions. Together, we can achieve the incredible.”

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
If my best friend was visiting the area we would definitely start our day with a daily yoga and meditation session Visit the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site and pay tribute to a civil rights icon Ponce City Market for shopping and to grab a bite to eat. I have to take her to Brooklyn Tea ( we are from NYC so it’s a must). Throughout the week, We are also going to check out live music venues
