  • Maddie Abu-Nameh discovered yoga in 2022 and found it to be the most complimentary practice to her Satire / DBR therapy sessions and trauma healing.

To her, practicing Yoga is the art of being present and has the ability to unite the mind, body and soul through mindful breath and movement. She believes that creating art together in any form can lead to collective healing. Alice’s goal is to hold space for people to experience radical ease during her classes and to inspire connection throughout the community!
