Caley Alyssa

Caley Alyssa is a yoga teacher in Los Angeles who came to the mat while worn out and stayed with it as a lifelong practice. She trained at Yoga Tree in San Francisco, completed a 500-hour programme with Dharma Mittra in New York, studied chakra-based vinyasa with Shiva Rea and later trained again with YogaWorks. She is also certified to teach yoga to children.

Her classes range from strong, athletic vinyasa and functional movement to slow yin sessions and long yoga nidra, the guided rest practice she has made a speciality, including a series of nidras themed around the zodiac seasons. Over the years her teaching has moved away from exact alignment towards how a pose feels, with an interest in how movement and rest change a person's state. She teaches in person in Venice, California, and online through her own subscription app, her YouTube channel and platforms such as Commune, where her series Meet Me on the Mountain sits in the membership library. She also hosts a podcast and mentors women building their own businesses.
