10 Seconds with Alanna Kaivalya

1. Why Yoga?

Yoga is a transformational practice that enlightens from the inside out. If you’re looking for a healthier, happier life, then yoga can help you shift your whole frame of mind in order to see it! It’s easy and there are lots of different yoga practices that help to uncover your true nature: bliss.

2. How do you come back to your inner peace?

As a New Yorker, it’s tough! But, I count on my meditation practice to keep me steady and connected. It’s the quickest, simplest way to reconnect to my bliss.

3. Your top wellness tip?

Do all that you can to find your bliss. Let everything help you channel energy toward that. The happiness of the heart is dependent on that enlivened pursuit. Keep that at the forefront of your mind and everything else will fall into place!
