Alyssa Vinas

RYT 200

Seasoned in the styles of Vinyasa and Ashtanga yoga, Alyssa promotes wellness and spiritual ananda (bliss) through movement and meditation. Her additional background as a certified Pilates Instructor/Practitioner for the past six years, along with her martial arts experience as a 4th Degree Black Belt Instructor/Practitioner for over a decade, instills her with a fire, which she emanates in her classes. A graduate from Dartmouth College, she earned her B.A. in Psychology and devotes much of her time to this passion as well. When not engaging in her more physical/spiritual practices, she dedicates her time to an organization called NovoCure. As the Head Regional Clinician of her clinic in Englewood Cliffs, NJ, she treats stage IV brain cancer patients with an experimental medical device (http://www.novocuretrial.com/). She is also currently enrolled at NYU in a counseling program and hopes to transition into a doctoral program in Fall 2010. Her love and loyalty towards all living things inspire her reach out and spread peace to all of Nature.
