Ally
My name is Ally and I am a yoga teacher and animal caretaker at Aguacate as well as a certified Reiki practitioner. My yoga practice is a relaxing hatha flow focused on connecting each movement with breath and truly tapping into our bodies and surroundings. I incorporate breathing and visualization exercises as well as dynamic and strengthening movements into my classes to create a well rounded practice that will leave you feeling connected and relaxed. Ally & Salim also teach Acro yoga. This type of yoga creates a safe container for play, connection, communication, and growth. Acro yoga is partner yoga with a base and a flier. It has a fun acrobatic side where we make awesome shapes as well as a relaxed as well as a therapeutic side where we lengthen and stretch the entire spine and back body. If you have a tight back, you will greatly benefit from Acro yoga. It might seem intimidating at first but Acro is for all bodies! Great for friends, siblings or romantic partners, or come by yourself! You do not need to bring a partner to attend our class. Come tap into your inner child as you do things you never thought you could do and leave feeling happy and loose!
