Welcome!
Hi! My name is Ally and I am a 500-hour Registered Yoga Teacher and a Registered Children’s Yoga Teacher. I have been working with children of all ages since I was a teen teaching various academic subjects, hobbies and skills over the years in private homes, child care centers, schools, after-school programs, and health clubs.
I rediscovered Yoga after becoming a mom to five children and needing to find a positive, healthy way to unwind and strengthen mentally, spiritually and physically. I personally practice several different styles of yoga and especially enjoy Vinyasa, Yin, Restorative and Chair and try to weave aspects of these into my classes when appropriate. I love Savasana and Yoga Nidra, and find that all ages really benefit from and greatly enjoy a few moments to just be with their body, brain and breath in a quiet, mindful way.
I enrolled in my first Teacher Training program in order to deepen my personal Yoga journey, not sure if I intended to teach Yoga to others, and immediately was at hOMe with Yoga. It feels “right” to me to continue learning and developing through teacher trainings and personal studies to expand on what I know and to share these experiences with others of all ages.
Everyone can benefit from Yoga!
