About Me
Sunshine, green grass, butterflies, rocks, flowers, trees, and water--these are some of my very favorite things! Being outside brings me so much peace and joy. Another thing that helps me feel calm, strong, an happy is yoga. So, as you can imagine, practicing yoga outside is my blissful place.
I love sharing things that bring me joy! I think that is what has always drawn me to teaching. I began my professional career as an elementary school teacher. I loved my years teaching 3rd graders. Then I became a mother, and I loved all of special time I got to spend at home with my three kids. I had so many magical opportunities to continue teaching and learning with my children. As they have grown, I have continued to learn and grow too!
I completed my first kids yoga training with Go Go Yoga For Kids. I loved it so much! I wanted to learn even more, so I went on to complete my RCYT 95-Hour Children's Yoga Teacher Training with Divine Light Yoga. I also recently completed my RYT 200-Hour Teacher Training with Power Life Yoga. I have also taken a course with Challenge to Change on using yoga in the classroom. These trainings have prepared me well to teach yogis from preschool age to adults!
The last few years, I have been back in the classroom teaching. I also love teaching yoga after school and during the summer.
I hope to be able to share my joys with YOU. I look forward to meeting you and your child…and if we are lucky, we might meet at my very favorite place—outside on our yoga mats.
What the kids are saying....
I love Mrs. Alicia's yoga classes! She does them outside sometimes and it’s so fun to see trees while doing yoga. She helps me pretend to be animals but it’s also yoga, and I feel so much better after I’m done.

It was so much fun! I liked it when Mrs. Alicia showed us ways to be calm with our breathing.
- Mara, age 5
I like that we do stretches and balance, and that we play. I like Mrs. Alicia because she helps me with the poses, and because she is nice.

What the parents are saying...
Yoga with Alicia has been an awesome outlet for my 10 year old. It's become her favorite activity and she really looks forward to class. The poses and meditation have taught her healthy ways to chill out.
My daughter LOVED your sweet yoga class and actually wont' stop talking about yoga!
My daughter has taken a couple of Alicia's yoga classes and has loved them. She gets excited about going, and says she just loves to stretch and that Alicia makes it so fun!
