Johnnie Alicandro

Instructor

Yoga Loft

Johnnie began practicing yoga in 2009 after years of running. I was instantly hooked on this thing called vinyasa yoga and its free spirit. The combination of intelligent movement, practical wisdom, mindfulness and a touch of spirituality met all of my needs. My dedication to yoga is in honor of my tIeachers. l also believe that teachers come in many different forms. If yoga is about life, healing our lives and transforming our lives, the pain, the loss, the joy, then I have many, many teachers to whom I am grateful. In the words of the poet Rumi, from The Guest House….”Be grateful for whatever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.” My goal is to teach from my practice, share what I have learned and continue learning and to offer what moves me. I seek to create space and strength in the body and in the mind in order to create space in life through a grounding, challenging, expansive and uplifting Vinyasa practice. The respect that I have for all of the students who walk this path with me runs deep. When we practice together, there is an energy in the room where breath leads movement, pure innocence is present, and there is a right of passage to what is inside our souls. ”I am Johnnie and this is yoga”…
