About Alison Marie

My journey began in college when I dove into the worlds of homegrown herbal tea and ashtanga yoga at the same time. I developed these two passions simultaneously and have never been able to focus solely on one. A big part of my work has been reaching philosophical and spiritual understanding of how yoga and herbal medicine are interconnected.

I am now a certified yoga teacher, with a passion for the ashtanga lineage and the tantric roots of all hatha yoga. I have a certification in herbal medicine practice, from which I have developed my herbal products business, L’alchémille, as well as a massive obsession with colorful tea!

I have 12 years of experience in permaculture/small-scale regenerative agriculture and spent 7 of those years developing an urban permaculture farm in south Texas. I now live in Costa Rica where I practice natural farming and permaculture on my family’s homestead.

When I'm not on the mat or studying yoga theory, you'll find me working in the garden and experimenting in the kitchen, coming up with creative ways to bring herbs into the body. I also love surfing, playing music, digging for wild clay, teaching yoga, and road tripping to different surf spots.

My mission is to share yoga and herbal practices with everyone who is eager to learn about our natural inner and outer worlds and wants to develop their sense of deep inner peace. My vision is to share herbalism and natural living with you in ways that are authentic, inspiring, and accessible.

Let me know how I can support you and help you along your journey!
