Alicia Delaney (E-RYT 200, YACEP) has a deep appreciation for quiet. A natural nurturer and teacher, she is steeped in the work of helping others cultivate more pause in their busy lives, and making their lives less busy in the process. Alicia’s nervous system-informed understanding of yoga and pranayama lend her offerings a consistent quality of gentleness. Gathering in circle to amplify these practices allows students to tenderly meet themselves with more compassion and grace again and again and again.

Her mission is to guide students toward ease and delight in their bodies through relaxed pacing, open choice sequencing, and invitational language. When practicing together, you can expect contemplation, curiosity, laughter, and empowering movement with only a little sweat. Her classes are an exploration of the slower and spiritual side of yoga, an opportunity to step out of our habits of rushing and performance so we can really hear what our bodies have to teach us. Uncovering what we so often hide about ourselves, from ourselves, can be a transformative experience. But doing so with the support of a group of like-minded friends in a beautiful setting on retreat? Life-changing.

Always seeking out the medicine of rest and ways to share it with the world, Alicia has studied with internationally-renowned yoga therapist, Jillian Pransky, is attuned as an Usui Reiki practitioner, holds certification as a yoga nidra guide from the Shiva Shakti School of Yoga & Healing Arts, and is trained in Hot Stone Restorative Yoga and its applications for deeper states of ease.

When she is not teaching in a studio in the heart of the midwest, Alicia is sharing the magic of relaxation through her platform, Slow & Steady Yoga. Join her to create a retreat rich with reverence, rest, reflection, and joy that’ll make your cheeks hurt from smiling.

Alison’s motto is “strength comes from within.” By leading from the heart, and believing in our innate power, she feels that every one of our goals is achievable.

Alison brings this philosophy to her teaching, where she aims to create challenging, yet playful sequences. Her classes are holistic and mindful, and always tuned to what students need in the moment. Deep down, Alison is an alignment and anatomy nerd who loves to share her knowledge with the aim of helping people move better, and thus feel better, in their bodies.

Before moving to Seattle, Alison was a longtime teacher in the San Francisco Bay Area. She has taught yoga professionally for 12 years, and continues to advance her yogic studies with dynamic asana and mediation teachers nationwide. During yoga retreats with Alison, you can expect her to be an engaged leader who offers a strength-focused yoga class in the morning, and a restorative/meditation class in the evening. She’ll be a person with whom you can authentically connect on-and-off the mat. She’ll also be an active participant, who’ll happily go adventuring with you, and then reminisce about it all over a glass a wine at the end of the day.

Come experience adventure, excitement, restoration and all-around fun with her on a life-changing retreat.

The Intro…

My beliefs are always shifting and deepening, as with everything. Right now, this is the ethos that drives my spiritual practices and my teaching:

Life is really hard sometimes. And tragic. And awe-inspiring.And easy. And outrageous. And insane. And boring. And beautiful. And mundane. It’s everything that it can be, revealing itself to us in each iteration as the moments unfold. Yoga evolves with the tides of our lives, and can offer us a thread to the sacred, a deep connection to ourselves as we wander the paths before us. A yoga practice, like many other things, is an invitation to commune with the self, to put down all the external stimuli and have an embodied experience. Honestly, we have never needed sacred, self-soothing and adoring practices more than we do now. I have found this great tending to the self essential to a meaningful life.

Genevieve has been leading retreats internationally for the last 20 years.  She is passionate about worldwide travel, full immersion in different cultures, and the importance of broadening our understanding of one another.

As a trilingual yoga teacher, speaking English, French and Spanish, verbal and non-verbal communication are at the core of her interests.  Like cooking or creating music, moving the body, dancing and yogic expression are international, borderless forms of communication.  The potential of connection to ourselves, to one another, and to a universal energy is boundless.

Even when Genevieve travels on retreat to a place where common language is not spoken, sharing the language of yoga and movement is always possible.  Genevieve loves leading a group of people to unique destinations, especially those who may feel timid or shy in a foreign place.  To offer an opportunity for people to experience our human oneness is pivotal and life-changing.  We are all human beings with similar needs and desires, and despite borders or differences, we all yearn toward meaningful connections.  Genevieve is endlessly intrigued by how simple life truly is… and how simple and joyful our journeys can be.

Overcome by the power and benefits of yoga in her own life, JL decided to move her career from the newsroom to the yoga mat in 2002. With curiosity and ambition, she followed her dream and began her training at Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health with an emphasis in Integrative Yoga Therapy. JL continued her training with Shiva Rea, embracing Vinyasa yoga. Through Vinyasa, she learned the powerful energizing and cleansing benefits of linking breath with movement.
