Hello & Happy July!

We’re in the thick of the summer heat here in DC. Keeping up with the demands of work and daily life is always a bit of a struggle for me this time of year. Luckily, I find a lot of peace and grounding through my yoga practice, which helps me make the most of these sticky days. I’ll be tailoring my classes all month to this theme - thank yourself for showing up, and give yourself the grace to have the practice your body feels ready for.

Despite this attempted zen-like approach, I can’t stop thinking about the cool weather that fall will bring, especially since I’m co-hosting a retreat in Vermont this October. I am so excited for a weekend of great company, energizing practices, wellness workshops, and a little sight-seeing. We have just a couple of spaces left, so if you want to come, let’s chat soon! If you’re local to the area, we’ve also got a couple day passes left!

With gratitude,

Ally

Fire and Foliage - A women’s wellness retreat

To know me is to know that I love Vermont. I frequented Vermont as a child, attended UVM, and return back a few times each year. Vermont holds an incredibly special place in my heart, and I’m so excited to share it with you!

I’m hosting a women’s retreat with Mimi Rieger and Meg Perleoni (my sister!) this fall in Stowe, Vermont at the beautiful Sterling Forest Lodge from Oct. 3-6. Join us for an amazing long weekend of nourishing food, invigorating yoga practices, hydrotherapy, holistic skincare, and fellowship with other women - all set among the beautiful backdrop of the Green Mountains during peak foliage!

We’re keeping this retreat small, so don’t hesitate to reserve your spot. Reply to this email with any questions, or hit the button below to learn more!

It’s Cancer Season - Let’s flow!

Join my sister Megan and I for a Cancer-themed yoga class at Mimi Rieger Yoga on July 12 from 6-7:30 pm. During this class we will embrace the emotional depth and nurturing energy of Cancer through a practice that encourages introspection and self-care. Soothing flows honor Cancer's sensitivity, fostering a sense of emotional stability and self-compassion. With poses that focus on the heart center and nurturing oneself, we invite you to connect deeply with your emotions and create a safe space for self-reflection. Post-session, join us for reflective journaling and contemplation, harnessing Cancer's nurturing energy to explore self-love, personal growth, and emotional healing.

Can’t make class? That’s okay! Get a taste of the season with this Cancer-inspired playlist.
