Alicia Anka

Alicia Anka found yoga over thirty years ago when she stumbled upon a free month of yoga and meditation at a spiritual center in San Diego, California. She had been looking for something that would feed her spiritual side, as well as help her with chronic back pain, and yoga proved to do both.

 

Over the years, she has had a dedicated practice of various types of yoga including: Bikram, Ashtanga, Sivananda and Vinyasa Flow yoga. She is a certified Sivananda, Vinyasa Flow, and Yin teacher, as well as kids/teen yoga teacher. In her youth classes, she strives to create a fun and supportive environment where kids can gain flexibility and strength while relieving stress and building self-awareness and confidence.

 

In her adult yoga classes, she uses a combination of everything she has learned throughout her own journey in yoga to help students get in touch with their bodies and breath, as well as their hearts, through a dynamic, alignment-based practice.

 

She believes that yoga is a way of life, and creating a consistent yoga practice can help people find a sense of inner peace within today's chaotic world. She enjoys teaching because of the sense of community it brings to her life and feels that in giving, we truly receive.
