Testimonials
I had a medical procedure/small surgery a week and a half prior. I went to Alicia’s class hoping it would relieve some of my discomfort. The poses promoted rest and helped with the pain. Alicia found ways to modify and adapt poses with other props to fit the needs of my body and help me relax.

I just wanted to thank you for your commitment to providing such a quality service. Your expertise, creativity, and passion for what you do is apparent in each session. I am constantly seeking opportunities to participate in activities that nourish my body, mind, and spirit and promote well-being, and your workshops have often been a welcome respite during busy and stress-filled times.

Just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed last night’s session. I was at a loss for words with the one legged balance pose because I struggled sooooooooooooo much after having surgery on my knee last summer. I have to admit, I felt helpless for such a long time because the pain was a reminder of how I would never be 100% again. Needless to say, being able to hold my balance like that, even if for just a short while, felt very empowering. Thanks so much… very looking forward to the next session.

Alicia’s restorative class is a must. I walk into the class with stress from the top of my head to the tips of my toes, but by the second pose, relaxation seeps into every nook and cranny. I re-enter the hectic world but retain my relaxed state of being for days.

Yoga is not something that I ever imagined myself practicing. Yoga with Alicia has been challenging for me, but with each session, Alicia’s patience, knowledge and energy has provided me with the motivation to see those challenges through.

Your eyes are closed. You are lying on a mat on the floor. Your head is on a folded blanket. Your back is supported by a pillow or a bolster. Your knees are propped up by blocks. More blankets cover your body…Your breathing is slowed as soft music plays and you float away… THAT’S WHAT RESTORATIVE YOGA IS LIKE WITH ALICIA!!!!!!

After giving myself the gift of a private session with Alicia the only comment that comes to mind is: ‘Ahhhhhhhhhhhh… Alicia’ But beyond the incredible feeling of well-being and centeredness that I experienced after my customized private session, the reason I will continue to come back is that Alicia possesses that difficult to describe in words “it factor”. Yes, she has the training and the expertise, but there is an essence, an energy, an ability to help me in strengthening my mind-body connection that goes far beyond those things that are read in books or learned in various courses. Her classes have been a blessing to my life.

Restorative Yoga Rocks!!! I had been to regular yoga classes, but never attended a restorative yoga class. I feel like this class was worth it’s weight in gold. I left class feeling completely refreshed and ready to tackle my week. I really liked that Alicia made accommodations for those of us who have injuries or difficulty with certain positions. Well worth it if you are looking for an alternative stress reducing type of yoga class.

I was never interested in yoga until I met Alicia. Her yoga classes have shown me that I can take control of my body and my reactions to my environment. Her love of yoga and extensive knowledge of the subject are evident in her classes. She allows her students to lead themselves, always guiding yet never dictating the movements. Alicia’s classes are for all who need to bring balance back into their lives.

Private instruction with Alicia is very rewarding. She addresses your specific needs (pains here, tightness there, …). She varies the poses from week to week, providing you with a wide selection to use at home. And, she is a caring teacher. She is truly there for you.

Both my orthopedist and physical therapist suggested that I take restorative yoga to complement the treatment they were providing for my shoulders, knees, upper and lower back. I was initially concerned about my ability to sustain yoga poses for 15 minutes in Alicia’s 2-hour class, but after the first class, I knew I was in the “right place” as Alicia’s personal attention ensures that everyone gets a good stretch without experiencing any discomfort. The best way to describe Alicia’s class is to compare it to a spa getaway: relaxing, refreshing, revitalizing and fun, too!

Alicia has the ability to teach something that many people ignore… And that is a general awareness about how your mind, emotions, and body connect. Slowly, I’ve begun to really gain an awareness of how my body works when I pay attention versus when I go about my day on autopilot. I haven’t learned that from any traditional doctor I have seen to address aches and pains. Alicia provides gentle reminders of how important self care is during every session/class. In addition, there is no way to describe the sense of peace and restfulness I feel after a session…and that keeps me going back for more!!

Alicia’s workshop felt more personalized than other restorative yoga classes I’ve taken. The props were perfectly set up. It was like a private class in a small group atmosphere. There was also a great balance of talk/explanation and stillness/silence. After the workshop, I felt relaxed and calm; a lot of my habitual muscle tension felt to have fallen away, too.

Alicia has shown me how to be a better person for myself. I am a better person when I practiced what she has taught me. She has shown me how to arrive to that peaceful restful place that I longed to return to over and over. In my journey to improve myself, Alicia has been my tour guide.
