your yoga instructor

I’m so glad you’re here.

Hi there friend, I’m Ali. First and foremost I want you to know that I am here for you. I’m here for your health, for your goals and to help you achieve a better well being. All of which drive my purpose each and everyday.

I truly understand what it means when you’re told “listen to your body.” After years of enjoying what I thought was “regular exercise” I was diagnosed with a chronic health condition. This came as a shock. But I knew I had to do something. I was an active and healthy person, and I didn’t want my condition to hold me back.

Then came gentle yoga.

When most people hear the word "yoga" they automatically think you have to be super flexible, physically fit, or twist in all directions- and because of this preconceived notion, I never tried it. But I was wrong. I began to open my mind and then found a new passion- something I’ve grown to love and now has become my purpose and my calling.

Yoga has healed me in ways that I never thought possible. Specific styles of yoga have helped me more than I could have imagined.

These styles tend to be slower, gentler in nature, and integrate breath work and mindfulness to balance the mind-body connection.

In 2020 I received my Yin Yoga certification through Jill Blumenstock and I knew a new chapter of my life had begun. I continued to build my mind-body connection through a 200 hour yoga certification through West End Yoga Center. and there found a passion for yoga.

I have also received my 30 hour chair yoga certification through Lakshmi Voelker and my 30 hour yoga nidra certifcication, once again through Jill Blumenstock.

My passion continues to grow through studio classes where I primarily teach Level 1, or Beginner Friendly classes.

And now here I am, ready to share my story and this special chapter in my life with you.

Once again, I’m excited you are here and hope you can find a practice to suit your needs and carry you on a path towards optimal health.

I’d love to help you find a path towards healing, health and optimal wellness.
