Allegra Givens

Los Angeles, California

Allegra is a dedicated student and compassionate guide who embodies all that she teaches. Her mindful and grounded approach to teaching focuses on accessibility and proper alignment, while offering an experience that is both challenging and fun.

From a young age, Allegra was inspired by her yogi-mom to foster an asana practice. At ten years old she was diagnosed with scoliosis, and her commitment to yoga only deepened as a method of healing and preventative care.

Allegra continues to return to her mat as a devoted yogi. She has explored being a student of Bikram yoga, Vinyasa Flow, Iyengar, and restorative practices. Yoga has always remained a consistent, safe space for her to become more curious and stay grounded.

Allegra has most recently completed her 500 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Rajasthan, India with The School of Yoga lead by Joan Hyman. She holds an additional 200 hour certificate from The School Yoga Institute, where she studied Vinyasa and Hatha yoga in the Sacred Valley in Peru. Additional trainings include Hot Yoga with Hot 8 Yoga in Los Angeles, Trauma-Informed Breathwork and Guided Meditation with Behind the Lids in Orange County, California.

Allegra teaches group classes at Hot 8 Yoga and Y7 studios in the Los Angeles area, as well as private sessions and children’s yoga. She leads a weekly Somatic Breathwork class at Y7 Silverlake on Friday evenings.
