Yoga Teacher

Alicia Delaney (E-RYT 200, YACEP) is passionate about co-creating community spaces devoted to deep rest. A natural nurturer and teacher, she is steeped in the work of helping others sustain more pause in their busy lives and make their lives less busy in the process. Alicia’s nervous system-informed understanding of yoga and body-based mindfulness lend her offerings a consistent quality of gentleness. Her class atmosphere matches her spirit: open, affirming, and easy-going, holding space for students to tenderly meet themselves with compassion and grace again and again and again.

Alicia’s mission is to guide students toward ease and delight in their bodies through relaxed pacing, open-choice sequencing, and invitational language. When practicing together, you can expect room for contemplation, curiosity, and movement with very little sweat. Her classes are an exploration of all things slow and simple, an opportunity to step out of our habits of rushing and performance so we can really hear what our bodies have to teach us. By cultivating this reverence toward and trust in the self, we become equipped to connect with the wisdom and power that resides in us all.

Always seeking out the medicine of rest and ways to share it with the world, Alicia has studied with internationally-renowned yoga therapist, Jillian Pransky, is attuned as an Usui Reiki practitioner, holds certification as a yoga nidra guide from the Shiva Shakti School of Yoga & Healing Arts, and is trained in the modality of Hot Stone Restorative Yoga and its applications for deeper states of ease.
