This episode’s guest is Alicia Parks. As a Wedding Photographer and a Yoga instructor Alicia has found that her passion for telling romantic stories through photography is as equally important to her as sharing the transforming benefits of Yoga.
She quickly realized Yoga is a challenging exercise that creates deep relaxation and mental clarity. Alicia recognized a desire to share the practice with others and teach professionally.
She completed her Yoga Teacher Training at the Ananda Seva Mission, in Santa Rosa, CA in 2011 and since has taught over 2000 classes.
She is especially interested in bringing Yoga into the lives of those who have never experienced the practice before. Seeing the benefits of the ancient traditions being discovered for the first time, including those who believed Yoga was not possible given their injuries or age, is one of her great delights.
Alicia is constantly seeking new avenues to bring Yoga into the lives of those who have yet to discover its benefits, and to help experienced practitioners along the path to a deeper, more rewarding practice.
During this episode, Kerry and Alicia speak about:
How Alicia made the decision to pivot her life, leave Corporate America and fulfill her passions for photography and yoga. She shares how photography and yoga all flow synchronistically through her life. Alicia shares how she has been living authentically and sharing her beliefs and opinions and shares with us that it’s okay to not flow with everyone, but to find those who you do flow with and connect with them.
She shares how pieces of her have always known what her alignment is; with self-care practices and learning what the world truly needs to hear she’s able to continue sharing.
Alicia talks about how over time working within the photography industry, she would share little nuggets of different practices to others that helped make a difference, that she has now developed a program that takes photographers from the moment they wake up to when they go to bed on how to make the day easier and to prevent the burnout.
