Alayna N. Pernell

Alayna N. Pernell (b. 1996) is an interdisciplinary artist, writer, educator, and 200-hour Certified Yoga Teacher (CYT) devoted to cultivating spaces of deep connection, healing, and radical self-love. Born and raised in Heflin, Alabama, and now based between Milwaukee and Chicago, Alayna weaves her southern roots, artistic vision, and soul-centered practices into everything she creates, whether on the mat, in the studio, or in the classroom.

Holding a Bachelor of Arts in Studio Art (Photography) with a minor in African American Studies from The University of Alabama and an MFA in Photography from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Alayna’s creative work centers on affirming the mental, physical, and spiritual well-being of Black women. Through yoga, she extends this devotion to a broader community, offering inclusive, heart-centered spaces for all bodies, backgrounds, and cultural experiences.

Specializing in Vinyasa-based movement, Alayna’s classes blend mindful flow, breathwork, meditation, and storytelling to nurture the full self. Her teaching invites each student into a deeper relationship with their own body and being, emphasizing that yoga is for everybody and every body. Every offering is rooted in the belief that yoga is a liberatory tool for self-acceptance, empowerment, and collective healing.

Outside the yoga space, Alayna serves as Associate Lecturer of Photography and Imaging at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and as a Content Editor for Lenscratch, an online photographic arts publication. Her work has been exhibited nationally and is held in collections such as the Museum of Contemporary Photography and the Illinois State Museum.

Through her combined work as an artist, educator, and yoga guide, Alayna is dedicated to building spaces where voices are uplifted, where every body is honored, and where the journey toward wholeness is celebrated.
