She studied and continues to study with Silvia Mordini from Total Body Yoga, Mundelein. “Stepping onto the mat was like coming home. Yoga became my own personal time for emotional and physical well-being.. I found that through Yoga my body and spirit were transformed helping me to become more dedicated to living my life fully and in the present. I discovered Yoga several years ago. My teaching style is Vinyasa Flow which I mix with the loving, heart based practice of Anusara Yoga, and the strength based practice of Ashtanga Yoga. My classes tend to be upbeat but serious, fun yet challenging. My goal is to touch everyone with the freedom, fun, power and sweetness of Yoga.” She currently teaches Level 2-3 Yoga on Tuesday and Sunday mornings. Robin Grover teaches Yoga Break on Tuesdays. My passion for yoga has developed out of a desire to experience every type of activity I can. I worked in the fitness industry at Health Bridge Fitness Center for 11 years and before that taught aerobics at a local club. I need an outlet for my mental and physical well being. I have enjoyed swimming, running, biking, boxing, skiing, weight training and yoga over the years. I felt that I needed the activities like running and weight training to give me the desired effect on my physical body. After many years of pushing my body to its limits it began to push back. I began experiencing body aches and pains that made me seek out doctors and physical therapists. Yoga has given me the total package. It pushes me physically and mentally and I am in the best shape of my life. Alice Haywood completed her 200-hour Hatha Yoga Teacher training at the Temple of Kriya Yoga in Chicago.
