Dear Friends,
I’m Allie. I am a human being, just like you. And I am living proof that we all carry within us the power to heal ourselves and live the life we choose. I know it’s possible because I did it, and I’m a human being, just like you.
It is our choice how we react to what we face. It is our choice how we live this life we are given. And through a continuous and ever-evolving journey of self-awareness and self-love, I have become empowered in the choice to be happy. I want to spread this gift through natural, self-healing practices.
My roots come from the world of theatre. From the theatre I have learned invaluable lessons - how to express myself, take risks, and make bold choices. And the theatre is what led me to yoga. While the theatre taught me to embrace “the process”, yoga has taught me that life is the process. And it is completely in my hands.
Yoga has given me a space to really get to know myself and live in the present. But more than that, it has provided a space for me to cultivate a deep, authentic self-love. As a young person I struggled severely with depression and self-harm. Quite literally, theatre and yoga saved my life. Having experienced the profound effects of these practices, I have dedicated my life to spreading the teachings.
I have been practicing yoga for over a decade, and started teaching in 2016. All of my teaching is taught through the lens of Trauma-Informed Care. Yoga practices that have shaped the way I teach and practice include: Yoga Nidra, Yin, Restorative, Bhakti, Hatha, Anusara, and Vinyasa. However my yoga is much more than a physical practice. My practice and teachings also include a strong emphasis on meditation and mindfulness, Pranayama (breathing exercises), and Yoga philosophy from the teachings of Patanjali and Tantra. I also live and teach according to Ayurveda, the sister science of Yoga.
We are all human. So I know we all possess the tools we need to heal our bodies, our minds, and our hearts. And I know we all possess the ability to make choice. But this can be challenging and, at times, uncomfortable work. That’s why I’m here. I’m here to meet you where you are and walk in compassion and patience with you. I’m here to challenge you and nurture you toward growth and evolution. I am here to help you find and wake up your inner fire so you can walk through this life with confidence, compassion, and joy.
We all deserve to live the best life we can. It’s up to you to make the choice.
And I'm here to help.
With love and light,
Allie B.
