Alecia began practicing yoga in 2004 and after witnessing the benefits yoga offered her she began studying and teaching yoga the next year. Her career as an instructor began by mentoring in an Iyengar Style Therapeutic Yoga class at the Canadian Yoga Institute. She then went on to take her training in Indian Traditional Yoga at Yoga Vidya Gurukul University in Nasik, Maharashtra, India in 2008.

Alecia is a Certified Yoga Instructor through Yoga Vidya Gurukul in Nasik, India and through Trinity Yoga in Calgary, Canada and remains an active member in Yoga Alliance, Yoga Association of Alberta and the IAYT (International Association of Yoga Therapy). She has also attended several yoga seminars with instructors including Susi Hately Aldous, completing both Yoga Thrive (Yoga for Cancer Survivors Program) and Susi's Therapeutic Yoga Intensive. Her prenatal specific training came through Janice Clarfield out of Vancouver, British Columbia. Alecia is presently working on her certification in Yoga for Fertility through Sue Dumais out of Vanouver B.C. with classes and workshops coming Summer 2011.

Other yoga exploring workshops include Chakra Healing and Balancing with Gwen Ritch and Critical Alignment Therapy with Sherryn Rault. 

Alecia is also a Level 2 Certified Reiki Practitioner and a Registered Nurse presently working for Alberta Health Services in the Intensive Care Unit in Lethbridge, Alberta.

After experiencing first-hand how the healing practice of yoga can turn one’s life around, Alecia began to explore the more specialized areas of yoga, knowing how specific practices can have an abundance of health advantages. She now teaches several different practices, each having their individual benefits as well as continuing to teach traditional hatha style yoga.

Alecia's greatest reward in life is watching the transformations that happen in a peaceful yoga class as physical, mental, emotional and spiritual transformations happen within the lives of those inflicted with stress and pain. Alecia looks forward to the years to come and embarking upon the lifelong journey of experiencing and teaching her love for yoga.
