Alexis Wisniewski is the Founder and Lead Educator at We R.I.S.E. Yoga. She founded the company based on the premise that through physical movement, breathwork, and mindful meditation practices, individuals not only heal and transform their physical body, but also their entire inner physiology, from central nervous system activity to the structure of the brain.  Since the inception of WE R.I.S.E. YOGA in 2017, every single training course has sold out!  Alexis is well educated in the field of Yoga research and continues to study the effects of Yoga in drug/alcohol recovery and Yoga for mental health; and using mind body practices as an adjunct therapy for preventing and treating diseases and disorders. 

 

Over the years she has developed a strategically designed method of trauma-sensitive Yoga that combines somatic practices, meditation, and education. She currently lectures across the country on the healing powers of Yoga, and the long-term benefits of consistent practice on the brain and body.
