Hey there, lovely soul!
Welcome to my little corner of the yoga universe! Whether you're just starting your journey or you're a seasoned yogi looking for some good vibes, I've got your back.
I've been teaching yoga for over 12 years now, and still have so much to learn and enjoy about this practice. It’s always such a pleasure to lead classes that transform students from being disconnected to connected; frustrated to accepting; stressed to relaxed; wired to chill; unmotivated to inspired and so on, within literal minutes. I honestly can’t wait to share these practices with you!
Back in 2014, I started something called the Love Letter Collective. We posted love letters filled with art cards, teas, chocolates, face masks, personalised notes and other goodness throughout Australia, NZ and overseas. Fast forward to 2018, and I took that kindness online, offering yoga and meditation practices, wellness resources, and daily feel-good text messages.
Feeling disconnected from people after a 2 year hiatus from teaching, I shut down the website and began offering in-person events and classes again. My ‘Wholehearted’ mini-retreats were some of the first of their kind on the Gold Coast in 2016 and as such, people went mad for them. So, over time, I put my ex-travel agent talents for research and organising into good use and hosted sold out retreats in Byron Bay, Abel Tasman, and Queenstown.
What am I doing right now? Well, after amicably separating from my partner in Australia, I solo moved to New Zealand, settling back into teaching at O-Studio in Christchurch (and absolutely loving it!)
Come as you are, take a deep breath and give yourself permission to do less.
Big hugs, Alysa.
