Growing up with insecurities, doubts and fears was a huge theme in Aaliyah's years of adolescence. Being bullied and told she was overweight throughout her childhood, she eventually made a huge transformation, physically, spiritually and mentally, that later led her to yoga.

After beginning her fitness journey in 2020 she started her yoga practice with the willingness to look inward and add to her self development tools. - She quickly learned how much yoga can teach you, on and off the mat.

"When I made the decision to go through with Yoga Teacher Training my best friend was slowly declining from glioblastoma - A Brain Cancer that later took her life. There became a time where her mind and body did not match up anymore. And as she became more immobile and less talkative I knew that if I were to go through it for anyone besides myself, it would be for her."

We move our bodies because we CAN. And because we GET to. Movement is a special thing we often take for granted. By maintaining present and moving with the breathe, you will find yourself more connected to your body and out of the thinking mind.

With a love for sharing her light and vulnerability with others,

Aaliyah completed her training at Unity Hot Yoga with a Baptiste/Power background.
