Alaina fell in love with the practice of yoga as an inner technology to access greater self-awareness in order to inform all of our relationships. As an athlete for most of her youth, yoga revolutionized the way she understood her health and wellbeing. She receives so much joy and fulfillment from sharing this practice with others on the common path to expanding life and love. Seeing the world through the lens of yoga is Alaina’s fire! With an environmental science degree from UNCA, yoga has transformed academic and ecological understanding to the very tangible experiences we have with our body, breath, and consciousness – all guided by a heart of service for the wellbeing of all beings. She also enjoys hiking, making music, writing poetry, farming, cooking, and dancing.
Alaina has been coming to ACY since 2012 and is honored to be joining their community of teachers.
