Alyssa Montana discovered a deep love for yoga in a college gym course and hasn't stopped studying since. She received her RYT 200 from CorePower in 2012 where she fell in love with heat, power and strength. After injuring herself too many times, she decided to explore a more sustainable practice for her body and lifestyle. In 2016, Alyssa received her RYT 340 from Devanadi Yoga of School & Wellness where she fell in love with nourishment, stability, healing and Restorative Yoga.
Alyssa also has experience as an outdoor guide, an adventure that started while she worked with Winona State University's Outdoor Education & Recreation Center in 2013. While completing her B.S. in Recreation and Tourism, she facilitated groups paddling the backwaters of the Mississippi River, snowshoeing the river valley bluffs, backpacking the Superior Hiking Trail, rock climbing and hiking the Red River Gorge in Kentucky, and backpacking through Zion National Park in Utah. Alyssa ventured to San Fransisco the summer of 2014 where she had the opportunity to intern with a yoga retreat company, Yogascapes. There she learned the ins and outs of running a successful retreat from packing tips to various group dynamics.
Alyssa is now making her dreams a reality as she shares the gifts of yoga and nature with Wild Women around the world on retreats!
