Alyssa Runyan

Yoga Teacher-Trainer

Alyssa’s journey on the path of yoga began long before she rolled out a yoga mat. The awareness she cultivated from her vipassana meditation practice helped her realize the transformative power of yoga from her very first class. After completing her first 200 hour teacher training in 2010, she began teaching immediately. It didn’t take long before she knew that teaching yoga was her passion; following her instincts and relying on faith she quit her job as an animal nurse to teach yoga full time. Her trust in the universe paid off; she now balances teaching yoga, managing a studio, and continuing her own education as a teacher and a student. Read more

    Alyssa is an incredible yoga instructor hailing from a very special lineage which resonates with my own inclinations in practice. I was just telling an acquaintance earlier today about the most memorable yoga class, where each student had only 1 inch of space around their entire mat. We all decided to commit and stay, opening our minds and hearts to a challenging new experience, and Alyssa delivered an exceptional class. Not once did we expand into another's space; we learned to be humble and content with only the space of our mat, and the quality of our minds. She is an exceptional teacher! Well-rounded, deep, intentional classes. I definitely am interested in pursuing another certification and would love to study with Alyssa!

    As a teacher, Sol is an amazing studio to be a part of. I love that my fellow teachers are uniquer and inspiring and I can show up to any one of their classes and have an astoundingly deep practice. The studio is clean, and the desk staff are friendly. Alyssa, the manager does an amazing job at running a packed class schedule, adding workshops and retreats and running the teacher trainings. This is by far my favorite yoga studio to both practice at and teach at in La Jolla!
