Alyssa discovered yoga 6 years ago after finally agreeing to her best friends plea
to accompany her to a hot yoga class. Yoga turned out to be the missing piece to
her puzzle. Alyssa began taking hot yoga classes regularly and knew almost
immediately that she needed to make yoga a bigger part of her life. The
opportunity to become a certified yoga instructor came her way and without
hesitation, she enrolled. The training, which taught her much more than just
asanas on a mat, changed Alyssa's life completely. After 3 of the most challenging
yet rewarding months of her life, Alyssa received her 200 hour Hot Hatha
Certification through Fireshaper (formerly Hot Yoga NJ) in 2011 and has been
teaching ever since. In 2013, Alyssa left her job in Corporate America to pursue
her dreams of teaching yoga full time.

Alyssa's passion for living a natural, holistic, and happy life shines through in
each of her classes. It is easy to see that she has found her passion in the
practice and her goal in life is to spread the word of yoga and to allow yoga to
empower others the way it has empowered her.
