When Lorissa first stepped onto a yoga mat, she realized she’d found something life-changing: connection—mind, body, and soul all syncing up. That spark led her from a career in healthcare management to taking a big leap into small business ownership.

​

First came Common People Yoga, a cozy, welcoming studio built on community vibes. Now she’s turning up the heat (literally) with The Hot Loft—Salem’s boutique fitness and movement center where sweat meets soul. Everything from heart-pumping HIIT and dance cardio to strength training and hot yoga. The Hot Loft is your place to sweat, socialize, repeat.

​

When she’s not in the studio, you can find Lorissa out adventuring with her husband, two kids, two dogs, and one bossy cat. Hiking, paddle boarding, running, camping, vineyard hopping —basically anything outdoors fills her cup.

​

At the core of everything she builds is connection: to yourself, to each other, and to the joy of moving your body.
