Your Instructor
Alyssa began yoga after moving to small town Montana, and the only group class the gym offered was yoga. It’s been 20 + years, and her practice has evolved through the years. Alyssa received her first 200hr training with Bridget Lyons (Anusara) in 2013 and completed her 500hr training with Jason Crandell (Vinyasa) in 2021. Alyssa melds different modalities of yoga focusing on strength, mobility and flexibility. As yoga has always been a form of cross training for skiing, running and hiking Alyssa’s classes are playful and challenging yet accessible to everyone
The Yellowstone River
The Yellowstone River is the longest free-flowing river in the lower 48 states, flowing 671 miles from its headwaters southeast of Yellowstone National Park until it meets the Missouri River in North Dakota. We will be floating a unique stretch of river that is known for its peace, quiet, scenery, and abundant bird and wildlife viewing. It is clear, clean, and cool, perfect for a refreshing afternoon swim.
Professional guides will be rowing the rafts in relatively calm waters (Class I-II). There are a couple of fun wave trains, but this is not a whitewater stretch of the river. The only expectation of you while floating is to lean back and enjoy your day.
