Being grateful is good for your health—it’s been scientifically proven! Gratitude can help you increase your energy, sleep better, improve self-esteem, and boost your mental strength, and it can even open the door to more relationships.

Join Alie for these workshops in studio or online designed to help you count your blessings, savor the good in your life, and feel gratitude for the people and the community that surround you. In Friday evening’s session enjoy a calming and restorative practice, while on Saturday afternoon you will leave feeling grounded and energized after we open and stabilize the hips and shoulders. In these heart-expanding classes, you will learn how to use breathing exercises, meditation, and gentle yoga postures to be grounded, feel relaxed, and find peace. Connect with the inner well-being that comes from not only cultivating the essential good within yourself but also appreciating the people who support you in learning, growing, and evolving to feel, do, and be your best. In this journey together, we will learn how to orient from awareness and experience loving-kindness toward ourselves and others. This class will include innovative pose variations, essential alignment details, and the experience of spontaneous joy and increased luminosity.
