About Me

Bald Hill - Riding Mountain National Park

Hi there, I'm Alisa!

I am a devoted mother of two boys, dog lover, avid mountain enthusiast, and certified yoga teacher. I fell in love with yoga after attending my first class when I was nineteen, but it was a significant back injury years later that led me to fully embrace it's transformative power.

I am passionate about pelvic health for all bodies and have been teaching specialized classes and workshops that focus on core recovery, postpartum wellness, and functional movement since 2014 . My goal is to support and empower women through every stage of their journey with knowledge, movement, and care. I am especially passionate about helping women prepare their body, mind, and breath for labour and delivery, and supporting new moms as they reconnect with their core, community, and babies. I also love working with children of all ages—from toddlers to teens—helping them discover the joy of movement and the benefits of mindfulness.

I began my teaching journey with Source Yoga in Winnipeg with certifications in Vinyasa, and Yin, and soon found my passion with perinatal yoga, continuing my education with the Empowerment Project, and obtaining my Pre & Postnatal Fitness Specialist Designation.

With a commitment to lifelong learning, I have dedicated over 1,000 hours to various studies and teacher trainings, including my 500-hour Yoga Teacher Training. My education also includes pre- and postnatal yoga accreditation with the Manitoba Fitness Council, a Vinyasa Immersion in Skillful Sequencing at Shala Yoga in Squamish, BC, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction with the Mindfulness Centre of Canada, Advanced Teacher Training at Yoga Centre Winnipeg, Infant Massage Instructor Certification, a 2-day Spinning Babies Workshop, and a variety of additional courses in trauma-informed yoga, pre/postnatal fitness, pelvic health, somatics, and childbirth education. I am also a certified kids yoga teacher, having completed training with both Kidding Around Yoga and Yoga Ed.

I’ve enjoyed working with a wide range of organizations over the years, providing customized yoga sessions—from staff wellness days to student programming and team events. Past partners include Fairmont Hotels, Qualico Homes, Manitoba Possible, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Parks Canada, Sources of Strength, and several Manitoba school divisions.

I grew up in Brandon, MB and before yoga, I spent 9 unforgettable years in Banff enjoying the mountain life and working in restaurant and event management, later continuing that journey in Winnipeg. With a lifelong background in music, I now weave healing sounds—like singing bowls, hand pans, and world percussion—into my classes to deepen relaxation and enhance the practice. I’m also a Usui Reiki Level 3 Master Practitioner, bringing a holistic and intuitive approach to the spaces I hold.

My parents have always been active volunteers in our community and giving back has always been apart of our family's core values. I hope to continue this tradition with my own kids and help foster the spirit of philanthropy for generations to come. I am committed to making a difference for Manitobans living with a cancer diagnosis through my fundraising initiative, Healing Minds, Healing Bodies - Yoga for the Cure. This is my Seva.

When I'm not on my mat, you can find me paddle boarding, hiking, making music, and baking. I live with my husband, two sons, and three dogs.
