Who I Am

My name is Alicia Cossota. I’m a native Texan living in Southlake, TX and Estes Park, Colorado.

I have a very unique approach to yoga, as I believe Yoga should be accessible to everyone; meeting them where they are. This is why I have a Traditional Yoga Certification (RYA-500) and two Faith Based Yoga Certification (C-HYI 229/95 & C-HYI 500) 

I began teaching traditional yoga with the classical Eastern influence in 2010. My initial training and early teachings were with Sunstone Yoga in Texas; a 500-hour training program. Realizing that traditional yoga didn’t always reach into the faith-based communities, I trained with Holy Yoga LLC in 2017.

Yoga is not a religion; it is a practice of mind, body and breath connection.  Because I want to meet people where they are, I teach two specific and unique classes. 

Traditional Yoga classes open with focus and setting an intention. Yoga philosophy and origins are explained throughout class and with the various postures along with muscle involvement and benefits. The class closes with Savasana followed by reading words of wisdom or inspiration from various yoga texts and authors along with “Namaste”. 

Faith-Based classes open and close with a short prayer and scripture. The origins of the postures are explained as well as muscle involvement and benefits. The class finishes with a traditional final relaxation posture while the chosen scripture is read again. Prayer and “Amen” close the class.  

Yoga is a practice that encourages patience and cultivates a better understanding of ourselves. When we can distance ourselves from the daily grind and find peace in movement, we allow the opportunity for the still small voice to be heard.
