Embarque is my home away from home. Friends I’ve brought love it as well, for the relaxing and therapeutic environment.
Alyssa is passionate about sharing the therapeutic wisdom of
yoga and has practiced for over 15 years. She was inspired to
become a teacher after sharing the practice with her young niece
over 10 years ago. Having suffered from the adverse effects of
burnout, she is a huge advocate for self-care and now dedicates her
life to sharing yoga, meditation and self-care rituals as therapies
to empower women to be healthy, stay sane and feel good again.
She holds the Certified Yoga Therapist (C-IAYT) designation from
the International Association of Yoga Therapists (IAYT) and also
leads the 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training. Alyssa is the host of the
Wild Wisdom Podcast and also leads
retreats across the globe, combining
yoga, meditation and equine therapy to help women connect with
nature to connect with themselves.
As a yoga therapist, Alyssa works in conjunction with healthcare
and many providers refer to her. She has been honored to share yoga
as a therapy with veterans experiencing chronic pain and PTSD over
a three-year research study in conjunction with the VA Hospital in
Indianapolis. She has also worked directly with patients at
Eskenazi Health in a specialized clinic using yoga as an adjunct
therapy.
When she’s not seeing clients, speaking, teaching or leading
retreats, you can find her with her feet in the grass, hiking with
her beloved dog, Ellie, or spending time with horses at a
ranch.
