Alli Houseworth is an E-RYT 500 yoga instructor, iRest Level Two teacher, and C-IAYT in training. In 2017 she became a Warriors at Ease certified instructor after having acquired the unique skills and techniques needed to effectively bring trauma-informed and adaptive yoga to the military community. Alli is the sister of a medically retired firefighter, daughter of an Army veteran, granddaughter of career Air Force and Army veterans, and great-granddaughter of a WWI veteran. She married her husband, an active duty Coast Guardsman, in 2014. After multiple PCS moves in rapid succession that made continuing her previous career nearly impossible, Alli found her way to yoga as a means to reduce stress and anxiety triggered by life in the military. Alli began her yoga teaching journey leading power yoga classes in studios, at an Air Force fitness center, and for Army PT. As her teaching and education continued, Alli became wildly passionate about sharing trauma-informed yoga and mindfulness practices to service members, veterans, and first responders.Over the last seven years, Alli has taught iRest meditation and adaptive yoga to soldiers in the Army Soldier Recovery Care Units (an extensive reconditioning program for soldiers suffering from visible and invisible injuries) at Schofield Barracks, Walter Reed, and Ft. Belvoir; yoga, iRest, and psycho-ed workshops on resilience and post-traumatic growth at an in-patient treatment center for substance use disorder; trauma-informed mindfulness programs to incarcerated veterans in the state of Maryland; and more. She served as Executive Director of Warriors at Ease and continues with the organization as a lead faculty member.While the work she does can be quite heavy, Alli prides herself in her highly educational yet light and fun-loving approach.
