Hey, I’m Ali! Yoga found me during my undergrad in 2009. I was quickly drawn to the mindfulness piece of the practice and was hooked. Yoga helped me navigate a challenging time in my life shortly after I started practicing. This inspired me to become a teacher so I could share the practice that had helped me find growth and healing. I began teaching at my University’s Wellness Center in Fargo, ND in 2010. When I moved to Maryland in 2014, I was inspired to keep growing as a teacher and completed my first 200 hour YTT at CorePower Yoga. Then in 2017 I completed another 200 hour YTT with LifePower Yoga. I had the opportunity to continue sharing this practice through leading Yoga Teacher Trainings, and in 2019 completed my 300 hour YTT at Center for Yoga in Detroit with Jonny Kest. When the pandemic hit, I saw the need in our community to find ways to continue practicing. I began offering classes on zoom and outside at local parks. This quickly grew into a vibrant community and in 2021, I opened my studio, Authentic Yoga in Gaithersburg, MD. I moved to San Antonio in July of 2023 with my husband, our two dogs, and cat, and am thrilled to be able to share yoga with you at Black Swan! My classes are rooted in intuitive sequences that help you drop into your body. I love a dope playlist that inspires you to move and connect with your breath. I look forward to meeting you on the mat!
