Alissa Portet

she/her/hers

“I first discovered yoga in 2010 while pursuing an acting career in Los Angeles; However, it soon became clear that acting was not my true life passion. Shortly after moving back to Boston in 2012, I completed my 200 hour training at Back Bay Yoga (now YogaWorks) and started teaching right away. As a student it is my priority to continue educating myself through home practice, self study, and of course training with senior teachers whenever possible. As your teacher, I will teach you and I will challenge you by encouraging discipline as well as patience with yourself. My greatest hope is that you learn something every time you walk into my class.”
