Malissa Whited
Malissa Whited stepped on her mat 25 years ago. It wasn’t something she was really looking for, but Yoga found her in the most serendipitous way. In the midst of her chaotic life, Yoga was the moment of peace, surrender, and inner wisdom that she didn’t even know she needed. It has become a beautiful, guiding force in her life. Its teachings have transformed her through the years, leading her to see more love, compassion, light, and beauty in others, the world, and herself. She is grateful everyday for its ability to break her down and show her the abundant blessings that are provided in life. Her practice is an eclectic fusion of breath work, flowing asana, mindfulness, anatomy, and storytelling. Stories from cultures and religions inspire her to see and teach more ways to be mindful and connected in life. Her classes are educational, created with a therapeutic focus, and are breath centered. She shows multiple levels in her classes to allow her students to manifest an optimal experience in their minds, bodies, and hearts.

She has taught training and workshops in the U.S. and Internationally. Her mission is to heal and elevate the vibration of all beings through Yoga, love, gratitude, and kindness.
Teaching Philosophy
As a yoga teacher, I provide a safe, fun, and educational experience to help my students get curious about life, love, and connection. I believe that everyone is a student, and that by being receptive rather than reactive, we can learn from every experience and each other. Through over two decades of teaching, I have found that the key to healing is more love, and less of everything else. I believe in the power of kindness and the ways it can shift moments and lives. My classes are usually described as yummy. They are created with intention, are therapeutic in nature, and are breath centered. In each class, I try to provide not only a somatic experience, but an experience that creates a positive, healing shift in my students. Come practice with me.
