The path that brought us here…
We cross paths, share moments, and become part of one another's stories along the way.
Hello, Beautiful Souls
Much of my life and work has centered around people, healing, creativity, community, and the art of wellness. As an entrepreneur for most of my adult life, I've had the privilege of creating spaces and experiences where people could care for themselves, connect with one another, and explore what it means to live with greater presence, meaning, and purpose.
I've always been deeply curious about the human experience. What shapes us? What helps us heal and grow? What gives our lives meaning? How do we care well for our bodies and minds while living lives that feel purposeful and connected?
That curiosity has taken me through many areas of study and exploration, from the human body, therapeutic movement, bodywork, and nervous system care to relationships, creativity, faith, spirituality, consciousness, and some of life's deeper questions.
One of the greatest gifts of those years was the community itself.
I loved watching the way people came together and showed up for one another. What began as a place to move and care for the body became something much more. It became a place for friendship, laughter, meaningful conversations, heartfelt connection, and simply doing life together.
I believe people felt the love there. They felt seen, heard, welcomed, and valued, and I certainly felt that love in return.
That heart for people, community, and genuine connection has not changed.
Since closing our beloved Virginia studio in October 2024, I've spent much of this season grieving the loss of a community and a way of life that meant so much to me, while also navigating what comes next.
My work and the way I lived my life had become deeply intertwined. Stepping away from the studio created space to look more closely at both and to ask some important questions about who I had become, what I truly believed, and what I wanted to carry into the next chapter.
My Christian faith remained part of my life throughout those years. I prayed, loved Jesus, spoke openly about God, and believed much of what I was learning and exploring could coexist with that faith. What I didn't fully recognize was how other spiritual philosophies, ideas, and practices had gradually become intertwined with both my personal life and my professional work.
As I've developed a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ through prayer, God's Word, Christian fellowship, and intentionally drawing closer to Him, I've begun seeing some of those things differently. I'm learning to discern more clearly what aligns with my faith, what doesn't, and where I believe God is leading me.
And perhaps one of the most meaningful realizations has been surprisingly simple.
After years of searching for greater awareness, understanding, and self realization, I'm rediscovering that my deepest identity is already found in Christ.
There has been an unexpected freedom in that.
I don't need to have every answer or continually search for the next spiritual experience. I can continue learning about this extraordinary human life while becoming more rooted in Scripture, prayer, and my relationship with Jesus.
So why am I sharing this here?
Because what is changing within me is naturally shaping the direction of My BodYoga.
Some things will look different, while much of what has always mattered to me will remain. Caring for the body and mind, creativity, meaningful conversation, heartfelt connection, community, and caring for one another are still very much at the heart of what I hope to offer.
This isn't about erasing my past, dismissing the experiences that have shaped me, or telling anyone else what their path should look like. It's simply an honest reflection of where I am today.
I'm grateful for the people I've met, the communities I've been part of, the questions I've asked, and the experiences that have shaped me. I can be grateful for where I've been while also being honest about where I stand today.
I'm still learning. I'm still curious. I'm still asking meaningful questions. I'm simply asking some of them with new eyes.
And the heart that has always loved bringing people together is still here.
Whatever brought you here, you are welcome. Whether you're interested in caring for your body, joining us for a retreat, gathering in community, or simply curious about my story, I'm glad our paths have crossed.
With love,
Alice
