Lori began teaching in 2006. She was trained in the Baptiste methodology. As an athlete and teacher, the rigor, discipline and physical alignment resonated with her. She is a mother of 2 (son, 27 and daughter, 13 ) and an OB/GYN physician. Lori is passionate about sharing the tools of yoga to support whole health.

Arielle didn’t set out to become a yoga teacher — she just wanted to move, breathe, and feel stronger. After her first class, she discovered a release deeper than muscle fatigue and a connection between mind, body, and breath that has guided her teaching ever since.She has taught in studios and online, from sculpt to restorative, one-on-one sessions to full retreats. As Yoga Director of a thriving non-profit, Arielle mentors teachers, designs programs, and leads Yoga Teacher Trainings that help students find their voice while deepening their practice. Her past careers range from guiding experiences in high-energy, guest-centered environments to pharmaceutical science, a mix that informs her teaching with presence and care. A mother of four, she brings compassion, adaptability, and real-world perspective to every class.

“We’re not here to get it perfect. We’re here to show up.”

Alli’s yoga journey actually began with a negative experience when a teacher scolded her in front of the class for walking across the room to get a drink of water. After several years of avoiding what she thought was a strict and unforgiving workout, a free first class offering led her to give it another try and she discovered the true power of the practice. She received her 200 hour RYT certification in 2017 and became interested in the cultural and spiritual foundations of yoga and how that translates into our modern society. Her teaching is grounded in a thoughtful exploration of yoga’s ethical principles and how these can guide students in navigating both personal growth and the broader social and political landscape with awareness and integrity.

Through her 10+ years of experience working in multiple small businesses and as an activist for disenfranchised communities, Alli understands the importance of empathetic, trauma-informed approaches to interpersonal support. While this is her first time serving as an educator in a teacher training program, she brings with her a commitment to creating inclusive, reflective, and culturally respectful spaces. She is especially engaged in conversations around the cultural appropriation of yoga and is passionate about helping students understand how to approach the practice with humility, responsibility, and care.

Outside the studio, Alli is a proud cat mom, puzzle enthusiast and co-founder of the Queer Professionals Network, where she works to build community and support for LGBTQ+ individuals across industries.
