Hi there, I’m Aleja!

Pronounced [ah-LAY-hah], I am a certified yoga instructor with over 15 years of personal yoga experience and a passion for introducing others to the transformative power of movement and mindfulness.

My journey began in 2008 when I attended my first yoga class hoping to stretch out sore muscles from weightlifting. That single class opened my eyes to a practice that was so much more than physical—it became a way to release stress, connect with my body, and feel empowered.

I was born and raised in Colombia and moved to the U.S. when I was 13. Adapting to a new culture and language shaped my perspective on resilience and self-discovery. Since earning my 200-hour vinyasa yoga certification in 2015, I’ve focused on creating nurturing, judgment-free spaces where students, especially beginners, can feel safe to explore yoga at their own pace.

Recently, I discovered the transformative power of face yoga, a practice that has quickly become an essential part of my wellness routine. Since beginning my journey in August 2024, I’ve been amazed by the results—not only has my skin become more radiant and lifted, but it has become a daily act of self-care, allowing me to prioritize my well-being while embracing my beauty from within. Seeing my progress with this practice has inspired me to pursue certification. Now, I’m thrilled to guide others on their own face yoga journeys, helping them discover this natural, empowering approach to wellness and self-love.

Whether you’re new to yoga, looking to deepen your connection, or curious about face yoga, I’m here to guide you on this transformative path.

See you on your mat ♥︎
