Alli Houseworth is a certified yoga therapist (C-IAYT), E-RYT 500 yoga instructor, iRest Level Two teacher, Warriors at Ease certified teacher, and an educator and facilitator with over 15 years of teaching and public speaking experience. She is passionate about bringing the transformative practices of yoga, mindfulness, and meditation to the military community as a way to mitigate the effects of chronic stress and trauma.

Alli is the sister of a medically retired firefighter, daughter of an Army veteran, granddaughter of career Air Force and Army veterans, and great-granddaughter of a WWI veteran. She married her husband, a now retired Coast Guardsman, in 2014. After multiple PCS moves in rapid succession that triggered her clinical depression and anxiety, Alli found her way to yoga as a means of not only surviving, but also living and thriving.

Since 2017 Alli has taught adaptive yoga, iRest meditation, and psychoeducation workshops on resilience and post-traumatic growth to veterans and servicemembers around the country including soldiers in the Army Recovery Care Program who are recovering from complex physical and invisible injury; individuals in a 60-day in-patient treatment center for addiction recovery; incarcerated veterans; firefighters, law enforcement officers, special operations personnel, and federal government executives through O2X Human Performance, a company founded by two Navy SEALS that provides customized wellness programs to tactical athletes; and numerous others through classes and workshops held in-person and online.

Alli is the former executive director of Warriors at Ease and currently works as a Yoga and iRest Specialist for O2X Human Performance. She lives in Annapolis, MD with her husband and dog, and runs her own business that brings trauma-sensitive yoga, iRest meditation, and wellness workshops to members of the military community.

While the work she does can be quite heavy, Alli prides herself in her highly educational yet light and fun-loving approach. Fun fact: in 2017 the Washington Post deemed her "The World's Saddest Redskins Fan." (Google it.)
