Alyssabeth is a yoga teacher, travel-lover, retreat leader and writer. She is Founder of Om Your Own Way Yoga & Co-Founder of Empowered Soul Retreats. She began practicing restorative yoga in middle school and became fascinated with the way breath control practices, particularly ujjayi pranayama, could have such an immense impact on reducing stress and anxiety. The spiritual practice of yoga became a guiding force in her life early on. During college, she deepened her study of both yoga philosophy and Buddhism. Simultaneously, she developed a love for vinyasa flow and yin yoga. She is a 500-hour Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-500), Warriors at Ease Certified Teacher, and iRest Level 1 meditation instructor. When she’s not practicing yoga, leading retreats, or writing poetry, she’s likely camping, hiking, and enjoying nature with her husband Mike, and puppy, Jaxon, any chance she gets!
