“If there is no struggle, there can be no progress."

—Frederick Douglass

Althea’s first hot yoga experience was in Washington, DC in 2017. She sat through most of it unsure of how to move (and worried about her hair sweating out), but by the end of that first experience, something emerged in her spirit. The warmth of acceptance for all yogis— independent of age, race, gender, and body type— created an environment for her to grow and become excited about yoga. While in the midst of the Covid pandemic and after 20 years as a local primary care physician, Althea embarked on a wellness journey that lead her to losing 130lbs. Yoga has been a source of physical, emotional, and spiritual healing that she believes every person should experience. As she enters her fabulous late 50’s as a yoga teacher, she hopes to continue her mission of healing by encouraging others to find joy and gratitude for their bodies every time they come to their mat.
