Allison Rissel

Lead Teacher & Owner
E-RYT 500 & C-IAYT

My passion and inspiration for helping other yoga teachers are contagious and I harness this to inspire other yoga teachers to overcome self-doubt and burnout. I am dedicated to assisting yoga teachers to connect with their authenticity, enabling them to become powerful leaders of transformation in their yoga communities. 

I became a yoga teacher in 2006. In addition to my master’s degree in exercise physiology, I have completed over 2,000 hours of formal yoga and yoga therapy training. I use my knowledge and experience to guide yoga teachers along their yoga teacher journey, supporting them through the mental, spiritual, and physical challenges that they face.  

I am the founder of the Yoga Teacher Conf, a conference that connects yoga teachers with affordable resources and a community of like-minded teachers. I’m an extroverted optimist and I love hiking, skiing, and connecting in nature with my husband, Sean.
