Meet Alyssabeth, Founder.

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 was lucky enough to be introduced to yoga in middle school, through a family friend who opened a yoga studio; she began practicing restorative yoga 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. She currently teaches weekly classes in Ojai and Oxnard, California.

When she’s not practicing yoga, leading retreats, or writing poetry, she’s likely camping, hiking, and enjoying nature with her spouse and 7- year-old ‘puppy’, Jaxon, any chance she gets!

Types of private yoga classes & workshops I offer: vinyasa flow, therapeutic, restorative, chair yoga, iRest yoga nidra meditation, & crystal bowl sound healing.
