Alyssa Martin

Yoga made its way into Alyssa’s life during undergrad years. She found a space that allowed her to grow more than shrink, she also noticed the disconnect she felt with the breath. During Alyssa’s yoga teacher training in 2019, she discovered how the breath serves no boundaries when it comes to controlling the state of the body and mind. 

She has learned through her practice that yoga teaches us to slow down, disconnect externally and reconnect internally, listen to the sensations in the body, and be guided by the breath. Leave her class feeling fully alive, in-tune and inspired. Through movement, breath, and mindful-stillness this ancient practice opens up a space where there is nothing left to do but be exactly as you are. 

Alyssa completed her 200-hour Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training with Wake Up Yoga in early 2020 and soon after became certified to teach yin yoga. She has since completed her Yoga Sculpt training in 2021 at Lumos. In 2022, Alyssa completed both a Prenatal Yoga training with Mariel Freeman and a Restorative Yoga training with Erick Dupree at Three Queens Yoga. Alyssa has experience teaching all levels of practitioners and is well versed in offering a variety of modifications through precise cueing, mindful alignment and bodily awareness.
