Alia

My love for yoga started right here at Urban Om in 2019. My first class got me hooked and it became not only a part of my schedule, but a part of my life. It first started just as a way to move my body without judgement or competitiveness and then it shifted into a practice that created space, peace, and resilience in my life.

As a child, I grew up with creative outlets like band and chorus, but lost those as I grew older. Teaching yoga and practicing yoga has reignited my creativity. I decided to do my 200 hour YTT at Urban Om in 2026 to learn more about my practice and be able to share the gift of yoga that has been shared with me. As a teacher, my goal is to create a space where my students can have fun and not take themselves too seriously, but also leave class feeling lighter and more grounded.

Outside of yoga, I have a career as a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER®. I also enjoy traveling with my husband, spending time with our rescue cats, and indulging in foods from around the world.

I’m excited to meet you on the mat, whether I’m guiding you or practicing beside you!
