I have always loved yoga but find it more difficult to perform certain poses as aging occurs. I have taken Debbie's chair yoga classes several times and find it fits me perfectly! I am able to perform all of the poses and feel refreshed afterwards. My body does not hurt and Debbie carefully and clearly explains each pose. She is an excellent teacher and has allowed me to continue my practice without fear of damaging any muscles or feeling soreness afterwards.
Alisa moved to Harrisonburg in 2015 from her beloved home of
Rhode Island. Seeking community after the transitional move, Alisa
found her way to yoga. What started as an activity to fill time and
provide entertainment grew into deep roots in Harrisonburg. In her
yoga practice, Alisa enjoys experiencing a wide variety of teachers
and gravitates towards playful, athletic, and flowing classes. She
completed her 200 hour teaching training at The Center School of
Yoga with Suzanne McCahill Perrine in 2018. In teaching, Alisa aims
to encourage students to experiment and to not take themselves too
seriously. She firmly believes that there is no such thing as being
bad at yoga or a perfect pose. Initially, the physical aspects drew
her to yoga, and Alisa will always have a special place in her
heart for arm balances and inversions, but the internal aspects
have kept her curious through teacher training and beyond. When she
is not practicing yoga, Alisa enjoys spending time with family and
friends, cooking, and walking her dog, Donny.
