Meet the Instructor
Alyssa Maillet (She/Her), YYT 200hr, Children’s Yoga Teacher,
Hi there! My name is Alyssa, and I’m thrilled to be offering Yoga and Mindfulness classes at Willow Tree Mind & Wellness Centre!
I’m a Toronto-based yoga teacher with a deep passion for yoga and holistic wellness that spans over 10 years. With experience teaching Yoga to children, teens and adults, I have taught various classes such as: school wide yoga/ mindfulness workshops, sound healing, vinyasa yoga, restorative yoga, aerial yoga, yin yoga, and fusion/core fitness classes. I am also a Level 1 Usui Reiki practitioner.
As a passionate advocate for mental health, wellness, and conscious living, I know firsthand how yoga, meditation, and mindfulness techniques can strengthen the mind, body, and soul. I’m especially excited to share this journey with younger generations, as I love working with children and youth and making the practice fun and engaging!
A little about me: I love exploring nature through hiking, practicing yoga, hitting the gym, learning new things, listening to music, diving into photography, and connecting with others.
I can’t wait to connect with you and bring my knowledge and energy to Willow Tree and the youth in my programs!
