8 years ago I opened the original burn+bloom on barrow st. Only 2 minutes away from the current location!
Let’s take a trip down memory lane.

2026 has been huge for b+b- we had our first ever 200 hour yoga teacher training with 17 graduating student/teachers. Days after they graduated, we remodeled the studio- again. Ripped out all the floors. Opened up the lobby, and installed 11 Makiuri | Red Light Therapy red light therapy panels on the ceiling.
We did our annual poses & mimosas at a new location: The Wildbirch Hotel - JdV by Hyatt and it was amazing.
Taught at Sacred Acre for the 4th year in a row and we launched IOSIS- it was a hit.
We had our first ever b+b retreat at Salted Roots Cabins with the best team and it was absolutely incredible. I definitely want to do another one.
There’s still two months left of the year so we’re not done yet but wow. What a year.

June 2025, I opened b+b 2.0 at our current location 508 w 2nd. Before that, I taught prenatal yoga and birth doula trainings in Guatemala and Costa Rica.
After grand opening we hosted the final Halloween GLOW event at Williwaw Social (RIP) and I think it was the best one yet. We ended the year with an amazing solstice event at The Nave and in addition to having our annual candlelight we had a full day market with some of the coolest vendors.

2024 was a haaaaard year. I missed the physical location a lot. But I also spent a lot of time learning and growing. I did another birth doula and prenatal yoga training, somatic EMDR and breathwork certifications. And created an online birth education course and put up some online prenatal classes.
We hosted multiple large events at Williwaw and The Nave.
I spent the month of November teaching in Guatemala where I met/taught with my now 200 YTT co-facilitator for kylie_roswell 🥹 and while I was in Guatemala I got a text from the owner of Salted Roots Cabins asking if I was interested in reopening b+b at their future Anchorage location and that was a FULL F**K YES.

2023 was the year that broke my heart (and body)
Started the year with a bad injury snowboarding- separated my AC and had a concussion with symptoms that lasted weeks. Had an ambassador celebration at lululemo

To quote ben kalra | yoga teacher “yoga is not politics but it is inherently political because yoga is a liberation practice.”

November schedule!!!
We are celebrating EIGHT YEARS of burn+bloom. I can hardly believe it. So wild to look back!
2018 AlisaMarie was not equipped and very unprepared but she had a vision- and damn and I proud of that.
I really had no idea what to expect. I just knew I believed in the concept of burn + bloom with all my heart. It was what I needed. And I thought if I needed it- other people might need it too. And here we are 8 years later. So much change and growth and different versions but at the heart of it- it’s exactly the same.

We don’t have any big party plans- because honestly your girl is tired 😅 and I’ve been so busy with so many other cool things!

Im working on another little remodel to improve the lobby. (Yes 😂Again.) And we’re finally adding to the bathrooms! You can bring in fun weird decor to go on the walls and get entered to win prizes.
We’re kicking off November with our monthly BREATHWORK.
And we have our prenatal series continuing through the month.
AND A SPECIAL IOSIS POP UP!!!
Friday sculpt is pausing for the month (wrestling tournaments start Friday mornings. And after missing my son’s first match- and win- of the season I’ve decided to not risk that again!)
But thanksgiving week we’ve got LOTS of options for ya.
Also scroll to read the late cancel/no show policy updates!

I think there’s some confusion with red lighting vs red light therapy and I wanna clear some things up. Because partnering with Makiuri | Red Light Therapy to have these lights installed in the studio was a huge investment- one that I believe is absolutely worth it.

When I decided to reopen the studio in 2025 I knew that I wanted it to be a place of healing. Because I had been going through my own struggles with chronic pain and injuries and the injections and surgeries and meds I was being prescribed were not working. I felt exhausted and defeated.
I believe the body can heal when given the right tools and right environment. And I knew burn + bloom was one of those environments. And I believed more of tools would come around.
So when the founder of Makiuri | Red Light Therapy reached out to me- I knew this was something I wanted to pursue. She had her own set of injuries and was on a similar healing journey and we shared the same vision.
We know the importance of movement.
And breath.
And red light therapy.
So why not combine them all for powerful, one of a kind experience.

There are a few places in town you can schedule a short session to lay in front of a red light- and that’s awesome. We believe that pairing movement and breath focus with it just amplifies the experience.
I have heard amazing feedback from students who attend these classes!
We have tourists from all across the country who have come in and said they’ve never seen anything like it. And I think that’s so f*cking cool!!! Our tiny little studio on downtown Anchorage Alaska 🥹

I know as red lights continue to gain popularity, so will the options and that’s great!!! I just think you should be informed and aware of what you are paying for and what you are receiving!

In addition to the 11 panels installed on the ceiling, we have a 6 ft panel on wheels for special events AND I have 2 panels that I use at home too! 😅
So you can see that I am a BIG fan- especially during our dark season. Winter is here and I’ll be soaking in the red lights daily.

Here’s some clips from a real class. In real time. With real music. And my real voice.

THIS IS BURN+BLOOM.

This class is everything to me.
I developed this practice many years ago. And it’s everything I wanted and needed for my body.
And ITS F*CKING FUN!
Because yoga doesn’t have to be that serious.

And listen. Over the years I’ve heard it all. “That’s not yoga” because of what we listen to or what we wear. Or how we move.
That’s total bulls*t and I’m always down to talk about WHAT yoga is and isn’t.
But also… I don’t care what people (who have never been to my class and experienced what we do) say because I know at the end of class when people are in shavasana crying and leave feeling more empowered, more liberated and finally connected to their body- that is all that matters to me.
