Trauma-Informed Yoga for Every Body.

Providing opportunities for joyful movement and mindfulness-based practices to support community, positive embodiment, interoceptive awareness, and mental health recovery.

Our approach

We are committed to assisting all individuals to develop the skills and tools they need to succeed in mental health recovery through trauma-informed therapeutic yoga and mindfulness-based practices. We utilize a Health at Every Size® (HAES®) approach and work to promote health equity, end weight discrimination, and improve access to quality therapeutic yoga practices regardless of body shape or size.

Yoga that is unique to you.

We focus on providing yoga and mindfulness-based programs that are unique to you, your goals, and your past experiences and comfort level with yoga. No experience with yoga is necessary and we will collaborate with you to develop a program that works and feels best for your recovery journey.

 

In-person and remote options

We believe in providing services directly in the home or community, where true healing occurs. This may include in-person or virtual sessions, depending on your unique goals, location, and recovery journey.

Success Stories

  • "Alyssa offers a calm and soothing environment in which to feel safe in. When I started working with her, all my emotions came flooding into our space. She is kind and gentle in her approach... she helped me to feel comfortable and know it was okay to be me. I appreciated every session with her as she is unwavering in her abilities and experience, which was exactly what I needed to heal, grow and get strong again."

    Stacie M.

  • "Working with Alyssa has helped me grow as a person. I'm kinder to myself, I'm more mindful when I participate in activities that bring me joy, and I'm happier with the relationship I have with myself and with others. I've made new connections and recognized that I don't need to walk alone in this life. I'm extremely grateful to have had the opportunity to participate in this group and I highly recommend others to join."

    Marisol, Former Group Participant

  • “I’ve suffered from ED’s for most of my life. I’m definitely in the healthiest place I’ve ever been with myself and my body. Even though I’ve been doing yoga for years and am a yoga teacher, there were still dots that I hadn’t yet connected. I couldn’t figure out what was missing. Working with Alyssa made me more aware of my hunger (physical and emotional) and gave me the tools to discern and respond to those sensations with more clarity.”

    Former Group Participant

  • “I’m so so happy I went through this program with Alyssa. She is so warm, welcoming, calm… and has great energy! Working with The Yogi OT has opened my eyes to how much I’ve grown as an individual. I have a better relationship with my belly and I now listen to my body when I’m hungry and give it the fuel it deserves instead of ignoring those needs.”

    Former Group Participant

  • “The environment that Alyssa created was very welcoming and inviting. It was a safe space where I learned to feel comfortable with being uncomfortable. I gained new insight into myself that will help me grow and be the best version of myself.”

    Kara B., Former Group Participant

  • “Working with Alyssa was a really helpful next step for me in my recovery journey. She is gentle and very knowledgeable, and willing to lead or let you lead. I feel empowered to continue my yoga practice because of Alyssa.”

    Individual Program Participant

  • "This program is extremely eye-opening and helpful to anyone struggling with body dysmorphia, eating disorders, or any mental health disorders. I learned how to better tune into my internal cues and what to do when I need to take a moment for myself. "
