About me
Hi! My name is Alekhya and I began my yoga journey in 2016 as a way to supplement my running and heal from recurring injuries. I wasn’t in the best place mentally at the time, but yoga transformed my life in ways I couldn’t have imagined. It brought my mind and body balance, increased my flexibility, and gave me a creative outlet to express myself freely. The practice became my sanctuary—a space to flow like a hippie, embracing peace and authenticity. Inspired by the hippie ideals of freedom and self-love, and my Discord username "veganhippiegrl", I created hippie grl yoga to share this journey with others. Here’s to finding your flow, your peace, and your inner freedom.
With several years of teaching experience and certifications as a 200-HR RYT (2020) and 300-HR RYT (2024), I’ve had the opportunity to teach at several studios across New York City and work with students from a wide range of backgrounds and experience levels. I teach Vinyasa, Power, Yin, Sculpt, Strength, and HIIT, and love creating classes that feel challenging, powerful, and approachable.
Over the years, I’ve worked with beginners, experienced practitioners, corporate groups, and students of all backgrounds. Teaching such a wide range of people has helped me learn how to meet students where they are and offer options that support different bodies, needs, and goals. Whether the class is slow and grounding or strong and sweaty, I aim to create a space where students can move, explore, and enjoy their practice.
Class Offerings
