Teaches: Prenatal Yoga, Kids Yoga, Postnatal Yoga, Infant Massage

Alisa attended her first yoga class when she was 20 and fell in love, but it wasn’t until suffering a major back injury years later that she realized yoga was going to become a much bigger part of her life. It was a major component of her rehabilitation for her body and mind, and she knew she wanted to share her practice with others.

Alisa is an E-RYT 500 beginning her teaching journey in 2014 at Source Yoga in Winnipeg with certifications in Hatha, Vinyasa, and Yin, and soon found her passion with Perinatal Yoga, continuing her education with the Empowerment Project, and obtaining her Pre/Postnatal Fitness Specialist Certification.

With a commitment to lifelong learning Alisa has continued her studies to include various teacher trainings including her Pre and Postnatal Yoga Accreditation with the Manitoba Fitness Council, Vinyasa Immersion in Skilful Sequencing at Shala Yoga in Squamish BC, Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction with the Mindfulness Centre of Canada, Advanced Teacher Training at Yoga Centre Winnipeg, Infant Massage Instructor Certification, and various pre/postnatal fitness, pelvic health, somatic, and childbirth education courses.   She is also certified Kids Yoga Teacher completing her training with Kidding Around Yoga and Yoga Ed. She loves working with all ages of children from toddlers to teens to help them discover the joy of movement and learn the benefits of mindfulness.

Alisa offers Karma classes throughout the year through her fundraising initiative Healing Minds, Healing Bodies to raise money for the CancerCare Manitoba Foundation. 

She is passionate about empowering women to prepare their body, mind, and breath for labour and delivery, and helping new moms connect with their core, community, and babies.

Lara graduated with a Degree in Creative Communications majoring in Public Relations. Having worked in various communications and events roles for a variety of local non-profit organizations, she continues to share her passion for communicating and enhancing the well-being of others, only now it has evolved to be delivered through fitness. 

Lara was introduced to Fit Together (formerly Fit 4 Two Winnipeg West) when she was pregnant with her first baby.  The feeling of community, support and the amazing benefits of exercise had her hooked! Shortly after having her second baby Lara decided to become a certified yoga and fitness instructor and began to teach with Fit Together. Instructing her prenatal classes while pregnant with her third baby was a highlight for Lara.   

With three young children, Lara's days are filled with lots of movement and activities. In her very precious free time, Lara loves to read, practice yoga and soak up every opportunity to be in the sunshine!  

A deep belief in the connection and balance between our physical, mental and spiritual well-being is at the core of Lara's teaching style. "When participants come to my class I want them to feel nurtured and cared for. I want them to leave feeling confident and with the tools to be able to feel comfortable in the Prenatal stage of life and beyond" says Lara.
