In a certified elementary school teacher in Oregon City, that specializes in working with kids to calm themselves in the school. Her first hand knowledge of what is takes for students to be successful in schools, the playground and the classroom, makes her an excellant yoga teacher as well.

 

In 2013, she began teaching weekly after school kids clubs with the Oregon City School Districts after school programs. As many of these kids experience a much longer school day, taking a 1.5hr yoga class gives them a chance to learn how to calm themselves, increase movement and laugh together late in the evening. Alia also teaches week long camps during school holidays with at the Eastham School building, where she adds art literacy and crafts into the yoga program.

 

In 2015, she began working with teachers and principals to implement

6-week mindfull yoga programs for the entire school as part of their PE program. It was a huge success!
