Fiji McAlpine

I am proud to be one of the founding yoga teachers featured on the website Do Yoga With Me, an internationally-renown site offering quality yoga instruction, for free, to users around the world. Over the years my online following has grown significantly over the years, giving me a global reach in the online platform, and has allowed me to offer frequent guidance to thousands of students each week. In addition to the online offerings, I teache in local studios and lead worldwide retreats, teacher training through my Mind into Matter Yoga School each year.

I have a strong vinyasa-based practice is derived from the extensive, diverse training I started in 2001 when my yoga love-affair began. Initially, my main focus was based on Ashtanga and the Jivamukti school of thought. Meeting my mentor Peter Sterios, founder of Levity Yoga, has helped shape my approach to practicing and teaching yoga, offering the important idea of sustainable practice.

My intention as a teacher is to offer a practice that invites us to be the constant gardener on our mat. Through dedicated effort and regular practice, we can begin to cultivate more of what we want in life and in our world. I remind myself and my students that we are constantly changing as time passes, as we grow and learn. Yoga offers us an opportunity to be present and active as those changes take place and to be conscious participants in our own evolution. “Every movement on your mat matters, make it precise so it on purpose and for a purpose.” I think of classes as the ultimate dress rehearsal for life, essential perspectives, and ways of being that we practice time and again so that we are prepared to do it right when it really matters. If our practice can help all of our thoughts, words, and actions come from a place of center, then it will truly help the world shift in the right direction.
