Born and raised in San Francisco by my Armenian mother and Jewish father, I was taught to value culture and community at a young age. It was around this time that I also began playing sports. So it is through sport and heritage that I am based. I carried my sports career through college and graduated having been a 4-year member of the varsity lightweight rowing team. Upon moving to Southern California for work, I found myself looking to fill the community and athletic void that school and rowing left behind. I hadn’t been looking for yoga, but it quickly dominated my self-care routine. I began making friends with other studio goers, creating lasting friendships I’ve carried with me even after relocating to San Francisco. After moving back to San Francisco and rehabing a running injury, I delved back into yoga. Once again I found myself falling in love with its dynamic nature. After just a short period of time I saw the positive effects of a habitual practice and enrolled in my first teacher training, the rest is history... When the pandemic shutdown the yoga studio I was working for, along with the rest of the world, I too pivoted virtual. Today I am 200hr-RYT with a dual certification in yoga sculpt. I teach Power Yoga and Fusion Yoga with 100% of public class proceeds donated to Kooyrigs, a women-led organization providing humanitarian aid to displaced refugees in Armenia. https://yogawithakp.com/classes daily 0.75 2021-07-13 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fc68d09403f5353fdbc9b43/t/5fc92491ef48a74117885158/1607017664628/Alicia+12+2.jpeg Classes - Yoga Fusion Over the course of 60 minutes you’ll move through several flows.

On September 28, 2020, Kooyrigs launched their “Looys Program” as a response to the war in Artsakh(Nagorno-Karabakh.) Looys, or ‘light’ in Armenian, began as a grassroots campaign to deliver emergency aid like food, water, medication, sanitary products…etc. to those affected by the war. Under Looys’ umbrella, Kooyrigs also launched Project Mayreeg (‘mother’ in Armenian. ) Project Mayreeg focuses on direct support for displaced pregnant people from Artsakh. Throughout it all, Kooyrigs has remained committed and transparent. Previous to the launch of the Looys Program, I had followed and admired the work Kooyrigs put in to support diverse groups among the diaspora and as an Armenian-American woman with widespread roots, I could think of no better organization to support through my virtual classes. The work Kooyrigs is doing to rebuild Armenia is truly invaluable.
