Our Story
Alyssabeth and Mimi originally met in 2021 as part of a trauma-informed yoga training at what became our home yoga studio in North Carolina, where we both found ourselves transplants - coincidentally both having grown up in the Northeast, Mimi the Bronx/Jersey, and Alyssabeth in the Lehigh Valley-in Pennsylvania / New Jersey. Both have since traveled around the world and have called many places home.
The seed for Empowered Soul Retreats was planted during our trip to Seattle together for Integrative Restoration meditation training and the rest is history!
We’re excited to share our love of yoga, meditation, and travel through Empowered Soul Retreats.

Mimi Lee. RYT-200, WAET, iRest Level 1 Meditation Teacher
Co-Founder
Mimi has worked closely with the military for 10 years as an overseas contractor. In 2011 she began her yoga practice and fell in love with all of the physical and mental benefits that it created within her own life, as well as the lives of the military community around her.
When she returned stateside, she decided to pursue a YTT certification; she completed her 200-RYT Yoga Alliance Certification through The American Yoga Academy in 2019. She is currently on a journey to expand her knowledge, by working towards her 300 Hour Therapeutic Yoga
Teacher Training. Mimi is dedicated to sharing pranayama, movement and mindfulness with diverse and underserved communities in order to improve their overall health and wellbeing.

Alyssabeth. RYT-500, WAET, iRest Level 1 Meditation Teacher
Co-Founder
Alyssabeth is a writer, educator, lover of travel, and full-time RVer. She was lucky enough to be introduced to yoga in middle school, through a family friend who opened a yoga studio; she began practicing restorative yoga and became fascinated with the way breath work, particularly ujjayi pranayama, could have such an immense impact on reducing stress and anxiety.
The spiritual practice of yoga became a guiding force in her life. While living in Southern California, she developed a love for hot yoga, particularly hot vinyasa and yin. She is a 500-hour Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-500) and earned her RYT-200 certification at Hot House Yoga in Richmond Virginia.
When she’s not practicing yoga or writing poetry, she’s likely camping, hiking, and enjoying nature with her spouse and puppy, any chance she gets!
