About 

This is not your average yoga studio.

Burn & Bloom is for those who crave movement that’s wild, liberating, emotional, and real. Those who want to feel their power and their softness. Who are ready to come home to themselves, in their bodies, on their terms.

Here, we move to remember.

To breathe deeper, stretch wider, shake harder, and reclaim what we’ve been taught to silence.

We sweat. We cry. We celebrate. We rest.

We burn what no longer serves—and bloom into who we really are.

Every class is rooted in embodiment, somatic movement, and elemental energy—a blend of yoga, HIIT, breathwork, meditation, and deep listening to the wisdom of your own body. It’s sweaty, soulful, and sometimes strange. It’s for every body, every season, every story.

Burn & Bloom isn’t just a studio—it’s a movement.


 

I’m AlisaMarie Selvaggio—founder, owner, creator, teacher, space-holder, rebel, and your biggest hype woman.

I built Burn & Bloom in 2018 with one mission: to create the space I needed but couldn’t find.

I’m a certified yoga teacher, somatic movement guide, breath coach, doula, and bodyworker with a deep love for messy healing, honest expression, and the wild feminine. I’ve spent over a decade supporting transformation—on the mat, in the birth room, and in the quiet in-between moments where we truly meet ourselves.


My work is not about perfection or performance. It’s about presence. It’s about feeling your body—your real, beautiful, powerful, aching, evolving body—and trusting it.

I believe in the power of sweat, stillness, sensation, and sisterhood.
I believe movement is medicine, your breath is a portal, and you don’t need to fix yourself—you just need to remember who the hell you are.

I am all about living in, moving with & celebrating the duality.
