Journey into Joy with Missy-LeAna
Hello, radiant souls! I’m Missy-LeAna, the heart behind Inscape Yoga. My yoga adventure began in 2014, and what a ride it's been!
I earned my 230-hour certification in July 2018 from Asheville Yoga Center, quickly followed by my RYT 200 from Yoga Alliance in August 2018. I didn’t stop there—by August 2020, I completed my 500-hour certification, and I’m now proud to be both a Certified Yoga Therapist (C-IAYT) and Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher (E-RYT 500). My yoga therapy certification was completed through My Vinyasa Practice in April 2025.
Yoga is more than just poses to me; it's a pathway to empowerment. My deepest passion is guiding individuals to discover their inner peace, self-awareness, and confidence. As both a yoga therapist and instructor, I strive to cultivate physical fitness, healing, love, and enduring friendships within our yoga community. My dream is to inspire every person to harness their inner strength, pursue their dreams, and flourish against all odds.
Before yoga, my life was a series of roles—from waitressing to wrestling with night school, and eventually evolving into a paralegal career. Despite the stability, the burnout and frustration were real. Yoga became my sanctuary, my bliss. Encouraged by my amazing husband, supportive family, and a host of incredible friends and mentors, I took a giant leap. I left my state job with all its perks to dive full-heartedly into yoga.
This journey has been beautifully brutal—or as I like to call it, "brutiful," a term I borrowed from a memorable yoga class led by a dear friend and inspiring instructor. The decision to leave a secure job and start anew was both terrifying and exhilarating—it still is.
Inscape Yoga is my heartfelt endeavor to offer others the same peace, self-awareness, and joy that yoga has brought into my life. If I can light up even one path or inspire one soul to take a chance on their dreams, every moment of this journey will have been worth it.
Thank you to everyone who has stood by me—this isn’t just my journey, it’s ours. Let’s continue to inspire, empower, and transform together. Join me at Inscape Yoga, where every class and every session is a step toward finding your true self and embracing your dreams with open arms.

At Inscape Yoga, we embrace this philosophy, viewing each individual's journey as a divine expression of love and uniqueness.
