Yoga is not to be performed; yoga is to be lived.
Yoga doesn’t care about what you have been;
yoga cares about the person you are becoming.
Yoga is designed for a vast and profound purpose,
and for it to be truly called yoga, its essence must be embodied.
~Aadil Palkhivala, Fire of Love
Yoga helped me get grounded, love myself, create boundaries, and see myself as a beautiful, powerful person. I learned to love fully and unconditionally, and I learned how to create a strong empowering community around me. This is why I teach yoga. We all deserve to be our best, highest selves.
My practice and my teaching is grounded in listening. In listening to my students, my body, my soul, while always taking time to find the infinite wisdom found in nature. I teach prenatal yoga, vinyasa, thai yoga massage, I host gong baths, and I love teaching beginners. Join the joyous revolution, tap into your own inner truth, and join me in class soon!
Take advantage of Alisha's experience and love and dive deep into your own practice with a series of private classes, designed especially for you. Whether you want a personalized beginner's yoga series, a Thai Yoga massage, an exploration of pranayama and meditation, Alisha is ready to take your practice to the next level.
This special class features chanting, meditation, and a gentle yoga practice
co-taught by Prarna Desai and Alisha Nissenfeld, culminating in a 20-minute extended savasana with a gong bath played live by Alisha. Gong baths offer a deeply nourishing and restorative experience. The Gong vibrates at the same frequency as the body, allowing students to experience healing on all levels of being as vibrations pass over and through them–leaving them feeling balanced, peaceful, and light.
During this relaxing and rejuvenating experience, students are supported comfortably with bolsters and blankets. Aaahhh…
Regular class pricing applies ($16 to drop in, or 1 class from your class package). Class size is limited. We encourage you to reserve a spot in advance. Note the 90 minute duration.
Join us for a class featuring chanting, meditation, vinyasa flow, and culminating in a 20-minute extended savasana with live gong bath. During this healing and rejuvenating experience, students will relax comfortably with bolsters and blankets. Through the intense vibrations of the sound, the body and mind are able to relax and surrender to the healing energies of the Gong. The Gong vibrates at the same frequency as the body, allowing students to experience deep healing on all levels of being as vibrations pass over and through them--leaving them feeling balanced, peaceful, and light.
Join Alisha Nissenfeld for an exploration of yoga through the lens of the Eastern Element Systems: Water, Wood, Fire, Earth, and Metal. In this workshop, immerse yourself in centuries old techniques and philosophies designed to optimize physical, emotional and spiritual health.
The journey begins with a powerful Hatha Yoga sequence that embodies the qualities of each element. Through pranayama, asana and meditation, you’ll learn how to use element practice to cultivate balance.
Drumming and yoga connect body, mind and spirit. Both have the capacity to heal the inner most parts of our beings. Join Alisha Nissenfeld and Cindy Jones for a morning of Asana, Pranayama, and Meditative Movement, supported by the rhythmic vibrations of percussion. AND the opportunity for you to drum! You’ll be guided to more deeply align with the awakening rhythm of The Spring Season. We'll use the vibrating resonance of the drums to quiet the chatter of the mind, shed the armor, and connect with our divine truth.
After a juicy and intentional practice, we’ll continue to express and explore rhythm and harmony and shift our circle and play with drums or other percussion instruments provided by Cindy. Our celebration will culminate with a nourishing potluck. Sharing a meal with other humans is a great way to settle into community to cultivate feelings of belonging. Kindly share a clean food or drink that is gluten free and low sugar. When you register, please list any food allergies. One week before the event I’ll touch base with a follow up. Please feel free to reach out at any point with questions.

I’m honored to host an interesting and fun opportunity for us to gather and unpack our “Stuff” about Love. Join me for a safe and supportive intimate group experience to discuss “Real Love”, a recent book by best selling author, Buddhist meditation teacher, and Co- Founder of Insight Meditation Society, Sharon Salzberg.
We'll dive into the Buddhist practice of Metta/ loving- kindness along with accessible mindfulness techniques to cultivate greater love for ourselves, greater love for an other (such as a friend, partner, parent, or child), and greater love for all beings everywhere. This 5 month workshop is designed to help individuals realize and shed illusions of love, promote growth and healing, and to leave practitioners inspired and empowered.
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!
