It all begins with an idea.

I had an idea to turn my journey into something more, something I could share with others on a platform accessible to everyone.

YogiAllie.com was born.

A space where I can write blog posts longer than the limits of social media. A space where I could post my offerings in one space. A space where I could display my passions and interests. A space to read, learn, educate, and share with others. A space where I could tell my story.

A space where we acknowledge that being human is hard sometimes; we can’t always do it alone, but being human is raw, and real, and beautiful. Being human through kindness, love, and compassion. Being human through pain, fear, struggles, doubts, and challenges. Being human through the ups and downs, the highs and lows, and everything in between.

Being human because that’s simply all we were born to do - be human and be kind always.

HOW I FOUND YOGA…

STRUGGLING WITH MY MENTAL HEALTH AFTER DROPPING OUT OF COLLEGE; I needed a way to RELEASE AND FIND PEACE… THAT’S WHEN I FOUND YOGA.

I started going to yoga classes regularly and fell in love with how it made me feel. One of the only places I could feel safe in my body and could control my mind was when I was on my yoga mat. I found a passion that I never thought I would, but it became much more than that.

Yoga isn’t just a passion; it’s an outlet for stress relief, a space I can move and sweat, an opportunity for constant growth, an introduction to holistic healing, and a world I found new community in.

In April 2019, I graduated with my 200hr RYT certification. Since then, I’ve done over 30 hours of continued education, taught over 300 yoga classes, and started offering other services in relation to yoga. You can now find me teaching yoga workshops, SUP yoga, special events, and more!

This is a journey of self discovery. Are you ready?

How I Started Creating + Making

In September 2020, I suffered an injury that completely changed my world. I couldn’t do yoga. I was already semi-locked down for the COVID-19 pandemic, and next thing I knew; I was injured. I’ve never been injured before, not like this.

I had an avulsion fracture of my fibular head. I was in a brace for 8 weeks with physical therapy twice a week for 6 weeks. It could have been worse. So I had to adapt.

I couldn’t teach. I was out of work, bored, and mentally battling this new life. This injury forced me into slowing down and taking a much needed pause. I was bored, so I needed something to do. I’ve always loved self care products and making my own and gifting them to friends, so the self care products just slowly grew and overtime changed, upgraded, and turned into what is now, Handmade by YogiAllie. You can find me at local markets, boutiques, and pop-up events.
