Malissa Brennan
An executive search professional by day and a yogi by night, Malissa first stepped onto the mat in 2007. Feeling both humbled and empowered by an invigorating vinyasa practice, she embarked on her 200-Hour teaching certification with Suzanne Leitner-Wise in Alexandria, VA.
A yoga teacher since 2010, she deepened her expertise with a 300-Hour advanced training with Lindsay Gibson and specialized Chair Yoga training with Stacey Lubets. Inspired by the rhythmic movement of vinyasa flow and the precise alignment of Iyengar, Malissa uses fluid sequencing to blur the seam between power and grace. By integrating functional movement and creative sequencing, she seeks to inspire students to reconnect with their own innate strength—just as her teachers have done for her. As a teacher, practitioner, and perpetual student, she champions the belief that yoga can be a powerful catalyst for peace, joy, and self-acceptance.
