SCHEDULE
ROOTED INTENTIONS (MONDAYS 10:30AM-11:30AM)
A weekly manifestation workshop on Monday mornings.
We will build our own manifestation journals with a guided worksheet I've created that invites more intentionality into our weeks. We will journal, reflect, and discuss together, inspired by the RC theme for the week – and enjoy open studio-time, coffee and tea during and after!
SOMATIC BREATHWORK WITH BONNIE (WEDNESDAYS 9:30AM-10:30AM)
Somatic breathwork is a weekly class that guides us to use the power of the breath to shift the stuck emotions creating pressure and tension in the body. By engaging in specific breathing patterns, we can activate the body's natural ability to release this energetic weight and free up more space to access our regulated, grounded selves.
PEN AND PRESENCE (FRIDAYS 10:30AM-11:30AM AFTER ROOT COLLECTIVE™ FLOW)
A weekly creative writing workshop that inspires us to tell our stories of past and future in a way that invites in more clarity, presence, resolution, and hope.
We use our weekly RC theme as the anchor for the week's writing prompt. Co-led by Alissa and Kristine Casart, published author, you'll learn how to write in a way that frees you and grounds you.
MAMA + ME SOMATICS
A 1x monthly (45min) Sunday AM somatic class that invites you to bring your littles ages 2-10 to Root Collective Studio for a morning of co-regulation. In this class we will learn kid-friendly breath and somatic practices to help keep our nervous systems and our little's nervous systems regulated in times of distress.
These are all practices I use at home with my kids and I am so excited to share them with you.
SENSUAL FLOW WITH JESS (TUESDAYS 5:30PM-6:30PM)
Sensual flow is a weekly hybrid class that marries breath-work, movement, and myofascial release with the tether of feminine sensuality tying it all together. Classes will vary from being more energetic, to more restorative, and everything in between. May include but not be limited to: yoga inspired somatics, self myofascial release, self massage, kundalini inspired flow, and dance.
SOMATIC SILENT DISCO WITH HOLLY
This event will rotate every other month on a Friday night with our Friday DJ Dance Party!
Holly, the owner of The Wave SRQ, will lead us in a somatic silent disco that gets us out of our heads and into our bodies for a fun, freeing, and cathartic evening of dancing with our own headphones in a room full of women who are ready to release with some rhythm.
If you’re barely treading water...
Have you been feeling maxed out and stuck in a constant state of stress and overwhelm while trying to juggle all of your responsibilities and roles?
From the outside, it probably seems like you have it all together. But internally, your mind and body are always on high alert, working overtime and wearing you down.
You've tried putting the pieces together yourself, maybe even educating yourself about the nervous system, attachment styles and trauma responses -- and you might have tried working with a therapist, but nothing seems to give you the relief and the peace you’ve been craving.
You know your nervous system is out of balance, and your body needs to learn it's safe to relax, but it’s starting to feel impossible.
I’ll teach you how to peacefully float.
If we naturally live in our heads, then cognitive-focused approaches simply strengthen a muscle that is already strong-- our intellect.
In order to learn how to float, we need to strengthen the muscle of embodied awareness. This is our capacity to feel our emotions and sensations as they arise in the body so that we can release them in the moment.
Why? Because if we don’t, then our whole system gets stuck. We become unable to truly complete the stress cycle and we get locked in a state of fight/flight/freeze/fawn indefinitely.
Our emotions and stressors then become held and stored in the way we move, breathe, sleep, digest, think, work, and interact with others.
Is your body telling you that it’s been storing too much?
How many of these sound like you:
Irritability and impatience —often towards loved ones.
Feeling like relationships are becoming effortful or draining.
Zoning out, disconnecting, and struggling to stay present.
Feeling overwhelmed and overstimulated by daily life.
Pushing through tough times only to collapse later.
Frequent physical discomfort like aches, tension, sleep issues, heart palpitations, or digestive issues.
Feeling anxious, hyper-vigilant, or stuck in your thoughts.
Hi, I’m Alissa
Anxiety Expert, Somatic Teacher, &
Founder of Root Collective™
I deeply emphasize with the experience of feeling like you’re just trying to get through the day... rather than feeling like you’re fully living it.
I also know how frustrating it is to actively seek a way out of that survival state, only to keep finding yourself sucked back into it again.
I’ve always craved a space that allowed me to be with both my body and my mind at the same time.
To stretch, find some cathartic release, and regulate my nervous system through movement—while also being invited to explore my inner world and my emotions via journaling and guided discussion.
I realized other women were craving this same space, so I decided to create it.

Root Collective™ Flow
Somatic Movement for Releasing Stress and Emotions
This weekly, 90-minute class helps you release stored stress and emotions from the body.
It consists of conscious breathwork, gentle and exploratory movement, and intentional journaling + discussion around a weekly theme that is all designed to leave you feeling more open, more grounded, and more embodied each week.
Root Collective Monthly Membership
Healing in community.
We move, breathe, feel, process, and release in our somatic yoga classes— and we also gather for fun, intentional, relationship-building events. Together we cry, laugh, explore, learn, and grow.
Whether you’re brand new to Sarasota or you’ve lived here your whole life, I invite you into Root Collective—a community focused on regulating our systems and building authentic connections. A place where you can feel seen, heard, and known. We’re doing the work, but we don’t need to do it alone.
Re-Write Your Nervous System: Group Program
Once a year, I open the doors to my signature group program Re-Write Your Nervous System that teaches you exactly how to befriend your nervous system so that it no longer controls how you feel, think, and behave.
Through a nervous system deep-dive combined with somatic movement, you’ll learn how to reprogram your body out of a chronic stress state while fundamentally shifting how you handle stress, triggers, and anxiety now and in the future. It’s like a nourishing blend of a women’s circle, psychoeducation, and somatic movement.

Teaching & Speaking Engagements
I support groups of all kinds in a desire to decrease feelings of stress and overwhelm and increase capacity for authenticity, connection, clarity, focused attention, productivity, creativity, and full present-moment living.
With either my signature Root Collective Flow class or my Rooted & Regulated training, I can teach your group how to access a calm and grounded nervous system state.
