Hi! My name is Lisa Alexandra (she/her) ✨

Here’s the long story short on me!

I’ve played various roles in the Early Childhood Professional community over the course of my life. As the daughter of an RECE and Childcare Operator, I’ve seen all sides of the industry and bring a unique perspective when it comes to owning your role as a role model within it. In 2015, I founded laLa wellness, a yoga and mindfulness-based program for children in their early years. Through laLa, I’ve trained Early Childhood Professionals all over Ontario and the United States and have made my way onto the bookshelves in Early Childhood Classrooms through my children’s book, I’m a Growing Yogi. 

In addition to sharing lala wellness kids yoga + mindfulness programs, I am the owner of The Aura House, a multi-modality studio space in the heart of Downtown Brampton, offering yoga, meditation, dance, breathwork, pilates, reiki, sound baths & crystal healing practices. 

Accomplishments I’m proud of

  • I was backed by an incredible support team at the Brampton Entrepreneur Center who awarded me funding to get lala off the ground.

  • The Brampton Board of Trade recognized me in their Inaugural Top 40 Under 40 awards

  • Over 1000 copies sold and in the hands of Growing Yogis across Canada, the US, Europe & New Zealand.

  • Knowing how important secure attachment is to the healthy development of young children guides my language choices and makes me passionate about modelling healthy relationships in classroom settings.

  • An incredible experience that brought together Early Childhood Professionals together from around the world to explore the facets of Leadership in Early Learning settings.

  • Connecting with like-minded people who are passionate about Physical Literacy was my favourite part of this role.

  • Through workshops and conferences offered in childcare centres, schools, resource centres and studios in Canada and across the US.

  • Through kids + family yoga in childcare classrooms, elementary classrooms, Montessori schools, EarlyON centres, Chapters/Indigo locations, and parks too :)

  • Cue happy dance here!
