Alison Gildemeister

Ali Gildemeister was first introduced to yoga in 1996, as a former competitive gymnast and athlete, yoga felt natural and comfprtable for her.  Ali began practicing yoga regularly in 2006.  She was drawn to the practice because it offers a combination of strength, power, and grace.  In 2012, Ali discovered hot yoga at Forever Om Yoga and considers the studio her yoga home.  Ali completed her 200 hour RYT in 2015 at Forever Om and is looking to help others discover their potential and find their inner peace through the yoga practice.  Ali also teaches "not-hot" flow classes and Barre/Yoga combination classes at Heather's Gym in Libertyville.  Both spaces are unique and beautiful, offering a supportive community to help students achieve and maintain their personal goals.
