Alaina Binfet

Alaina was drawn to teaching yoga after discovering how much it helped her fight the chronic back pain that she’d be battling since childhood. Nine years ago, while seeking surgical intervention for her back problems, it was recommended she instead take up yoga to help strengthen her core and manage her pain. Although hesitant at first, as she questioned how yoga would help any differently from her usual exercise routine, she nevertheless began practicing yoga regularly and quickly started noticing significant relief in her pain, as well as improvements in her attitude. This eventually led her to taking a Yoga Teacher Training course that completely changed the way she approached life! Not only has she been back-pain free for the last 6 years, she also found the inspiration to open her own yoga studio in hopes of sharing the benefits of yoga and the importance of self-care and spirituality with others in her community. Previously, Alaina received her 600-hr certification for Massage Therapy from Montana School of Massage and has been a practicing massage therapist for the last 16 years. She has a degree in Health Science and is a 200-ERYT, 500-RYT; having received her 200-hr certification from Blossom Yoga Teacher Training in Laramie, WY in 2015, and her 300-hr certification with Porters Neck Advanced Teacher Training in 2018. With a background in massage and health science, Alaina tends to focus on alignment, anatomy, and physiology in her yoga classes, but is also drawn to the gentle, and meditative type classes such as Restorative Yoga. She believes that practicing yoga for one’s body is just as important as practicing for one’s mind and spirit, and that it can also be used as a natural approach to health. She enjoys blending yoga with other holistic practices such as acupuncture, massage, sound therapy, and various forms of physical fitness. Alaina is constantly trying to find new, innovative ways to inspire people of all ages and abilities to practice yoga by offering a variety of class styles and workshops at her studio. Alaina is currently a co-teacher of Sadhana School of Yoga – Yoga Teacher Training in Casper, WY, and hopes to continue expanding upon her business to create a diverse and inclusive environment that is conducive to overall wellness.
