Yoga helped me get grounded, create boundaries, and see myself as a beautiful and powerful person. I learned to live consciously in the moment, love fully and unconditionally, and I learned how to create a strong empowering community around me. I’ve also healed from past traumas, mental and physical; this is why I teach yoga. We all deserve to be the best versions of ourselves.
I create safe and supportive environments full of love. Everything I offer is grounded in listening. In listening to my students/clients, my body, and my intuitive inner voice, while always taking time to find the infinite wisdom found in nature. I specialize in trauma and offer therapy sessions for children, teens, individuals, couples, and groups. I teach pre and postnatal yoga, trauma sensitive vinyasa yoga, yoga to heal from injury, yoga to support illness, thai yoga massage, and I host sound healing sessions called gong bath. I love working with beginners, athletes, and those who think yoga isn’t for them, you know, the “I can’t touch my toes people.”
Join the joyous revolution, tap into your own inner strength, and join me in a session soon!

You are Welcome
Settle into serenity with our 3-day, 2-night silent yoga retreat by the beach. Set against a serene coastal backdrop, this retreat blends rejuvenation with introspection, offering a holistic experience for both body and soul.
"The trail doesn't care about your to-do list. It only asks for your presence."
Join Alisha Nissenfeld for a transformative 3-day, 2-night journey along a section of the Mountains-to-Sea Trail. This intermediate, 13-mile loop through Pisgah National Forest is designed as a sanctuary for those who would like to build resilience, cultivate self-awareness, and connect deeply with the natural world.
We provide a safe and supportive environment for those who identify as women to help promote self-awareness, empowerment, learning to problem solve in unique situations, trusting self and others, mindfulness, building tolerance and resilience, sitting in discomfort and learning to support and accept support from a group.
Do you like yoga, the outdoors, and have some free time during the weekdays? Let's practice yoga after we hike, bike, swim, walk, paddle board or help out on a farm. Nurturing our own strong roots, building community, and making friends with people whom have similar interest! Each session will begin with an outdoor exploration (somewhere near the Triangle) followed by an invigorating yoga practice. Some sessions may involve a picnic :) and Sound Bath.
Are you wanting to encourage the health and happiness of your friends and family simply by improving what food you eat? Alisha holds workshops and private classes around providing simple, delicious, food with what is seasonal and easily available from your local farmers market.
Stay tuned for the next Clean Cuisine workshop!

I strive to always be supportive of the community around me. I am constantly coming up with new collaborations and partnering with fellow travelers on the journey. My workshops are ever evolving, and are always steeped in a loving and caring support of my fellow teachers and students. After all, we are all only students. Feel free to email me directly at the address below, or sign-up for my newsletter so that you can stay on top of all of the exciting upcoming events. One day we may be hiking, one day it may include dream boards or journaling, one day may be a silent meditation. Whatever it is, I can't wait to connect!
Alisha's Gong Baths provide deep relaxation and cellular rejuvenation. If you haven't tried sound healing yet, here is your opportunity.
You will learn the foundation of the practice including modifications and self enhancements/adjustments to optimize your sense of groundless. This class is for all ages, mobility, and especially for those who believe they are not flexible.
Note: Props are available for you and highly encouraged. We also use the wall and chairs as desired/needed.
