Alyssa Karmia is a dedicated movement educator who has been transforming bodies and minds in the fitness industry since 2015. With a versatile teaching background spanning multiple modalities, Alyssa discovered her true calling in yoga, melding rigorous anatomy and sequencing with the soulful openness of Katonah Yoga® and other lineages. As an ACE‑certified personal trainer and lead instructor, she’s helped design and deliver instructor‑training programs, and has presented at conferences on making fitness both approachable and deeply accessible.
Driven by a belief that “Growth is the balance of discipline and surrender,” Alyssa’s approach invites students into a practice that’s as technical in the studio as it is intuitive at home. Her strengths in anatomy, sequencing, and translating complex theory into digestible, actionable insights ensure every participant feels seen, supported, and challenged at their own pace. Whether guiding a dynamic mobility sequence, teaching pranayama techniques, or holding space for meditation, she crafts each class with intention and care.
What inspires Alyssa most is connection—the chance to learn alongside her students, to witness how a mindful practice ripples into daily life, and to create a sanctuary where body and mind can explore, expand, and come home. Through the Abode Mentorship, she offers a three‑month journey rooted in Growth, Inspiration, and Connection, empowering emerging and seasoned teachers alike to refine their voice, deepen their practice, and share their unique gifts with the world.
FAQs
How are we embodying GROWTH?
In this mentorship, Alyssa will help mentees refine and develop a stronger “why”. Through this, we will build confidence and reassurance in personal and professional goals. For GROWTH, Alyssa will also assign homework to assist mentees in becoming more connected and rooted to their foundation.
How are we cultivating INSPIRATION?
Inspiration is a form of consistent discipline to a practice that will ebb and flow. Through gaining a deeper understanding of the theories that support our practices, we will be able to start teaching from a place of authenticity.
How are we driving CONNECTION?
The mentor/ mentee relationship is unique and special. We will work together in person on a weekly cadence to practice teaching, meet 1:1, and as a group. The mentor/ mentee relationship is one that is a constant feedback loop from one to another to provide insight and understanding on how we are digesting theory and practice. Participants will be able to attend all Abode Yoga Katonah Yoga ®️ for free as part of the investment in the mentorship.
