Alicia Galvany-Carlton

I began in the fitness industry teaching step aerobics, and have always led an active lifestyle.  I have been practicing yoga since the fall of 2008.  In 2010 I began yoga teacher training with Rossella Rossi, and graduated with my RYT 200 in March 2011.  I mainly practice vinyasa style and Ashtanga.  In my teaching I incorporate pranayama, bandhas, and the importance of awareness.  I use both English and Sanskrit in my classes when describing the various asana/poses, because  I think it is important to keep an element of tradition in the class, while making it accessible and enjoyable for everyone, whether beginner or advanced.

As for my full time profession, I am an attorney.  In the evenings and weekends I am devoted to my family and enhancing my personal practice and helping my students grow in theirs.  Law is my profession, which I love, but yoga is my passion and a very important part of my life.  I am grateful for the teachers who have helped me, and feel very fortunate to help others in their own yoga practice.
