ABOUT ALYSSA
Alyssa Lauren Stone is a Bay Area teacher of Yoga, Meditation, and Breathwork (E-RYT®, YACEP), a certified Reiki Master, and Sound Healer. For decades, she has used integrative medicine and alternative forms of healing to manage stress-related health issues from holding high-pressure roles in corporate sales and business development.
She founded Marvellous Mage, a health and wellness company that offers classes, workshops, and retreats to help corporate and urban communities navigate life’s challenges through the healing modalities she is passionate about. Her work has appeared in Newsweek, HuffPost, Yoga Journal, Business Insider, and more.
For over ten years in her previous life, she was a software sales executive in New York and Silicon Valley. Before her tech career, she worked in media and publishing sales and graduated from New York University with degrees in Journalism and Mass Communication & Sociology (cum laude).
Her career shift from tech to health & wellness was induced by the pandemic, and realizing that “life is too short for coulda, woulda, shouldas.” She followed her original passions, returning to school for creative nonfiction writing at Stanford University and completing Yoga Teacher Training.
Even though she has been a certified Reiki Master since 2019 and has regularly practiced vinyasa (flow) yoga since 2008, she is grateful to finally have the opportunity to do what her soul desires most; to live her svadharma (her life’s true purpose), give back to her communities, and share what her teachers have taught for decades from both U.S. coasts:
How to live a healthier, more magical life.
Core Offering
Yoga, meditation & breathwork Classes
Scientific studies continue to show the many physical and mental benefits of a regular yoga practice. Alyssa’s teachings infuse alignment-based poses with breathwork, guided meditations, and yoga philosophy.
Intentional movement sequenced in a soulful, vinyasa (flow). Her goal is to make each class relaxing, challenging, and rewarding so students can gain the maximum benefit.
Reiki Healing + Sound therapy
Reiki, which means “universal life energy,” is a Japanese tradition developed in the early 1900’s that is now used all over the world, including hospitals and hospices, to complement Western medicine treatments. Alyssa has undergone formal training to use gentle, yet powerful techniques to restore the body’s sense of peace and overall well-being.
As a classically trained musician, Alyssa facilitates sold-out sound baths using gongs, drums, Himalayan & crystal singing bowls, a harmonium, tuning forks, and other native instruments.
