haI am Aly, founder of Aly Stringer Yoga and LIFEYOGA, an online program dedicated to empowering people through a holistic and educated approach to well-being and Yoga. I have been involved in health and wellness for over 40 years, where the last 21 have been devoted to both my own Svadharma (devoted Yoga practice) along with sharing Yoga with others.
I was born in Yorkshire, in the North of England, amidst the rugged and industrial market town of Normanton (Norman-tun), where I spent my childhood around the farms and heathlands, riding rugged Mountain ponies, playing freely and connecting to the land. I have always had a love of nature and the wild outdoors, which led me to move to Christchurch, New Zealand, where I lived for 22 years. It was here, that I discovered the path of Yoga. I am a certified Yoga teacher who has had advanced training with renowned global Yoga teachers such as Donna Farhi, Noah Mazé and Desireé Rumbaugh. This allows me to offer a deep and thoughtful approach to everything that I teach. My teachings have crossed many Yoga studio locations, both nationally and internationally, which has gifted me opportunities to work with all abilities, ages and beliefs, for which I am deeply grateful. My aim is to continue this, so that the core value of my teachings is for students to feel inclusive and safe, without judgement, pressure or unnecessary expectations. Whilst living in New Zealand, I also had the pleasure of raising two incredible sons, Noah and Leo. The journey of motherhood has taught me the most about life, and it was my children who inspired me to begin writing. I have self-authored five books which can add as an accompaniment to my teachings. I look forward to sharing my work and my knowledge with you throughout my classes, workshops and retreats and I am here to answer any questions or help where possible. You can find all my offerings here on this website. "I believe that when fully connected to what we really love, then that is the meaning of an amazing and beautiful life" Aly x |

Testimonials
Aly has been a teacher, a mentor, and an inspiration to me since I started regularly attending her yoga classes. With her strong fitness and anatomical background, and her gentle, warm, compassionate nature, Aly manages to blend the two sides together into some of the most flowing, rewarding and rejuvenating classes I have ever experienced.
Since being a student of Aly, my state of mind, and health has transformed on so many levels enabling me to feel more grounded, balanced, and at ease with life. On a physical level, Aly has helped me move from a more gentle style of yoga, to build more strength and stamina through her more dynamic vinyasa sequences. She guides you to explore your boundaries, and expand your practice, whilst always listening to your body.
As a yoga teacher myself, Aly has taught me so much, especially about vinyasa, and has been a constant form of support and love, always encouraging me to grow. Thank you so much Aly. Simone Andersen - Certified Yoga Teacher (Dip. Yoga) - Australia and New Zealand
Aly's knowledge and tutelage are excellent and she has the ability to make classes accessible to all levels giving you the option to challenge yourself or take a more gentle practice. I find her ‘flow’ method logical and therefore, once you have attended a couple of her classes, it is easy to just ‘go with the flow’ – not get left behind or wonder why you can’t keep up. Aly has a lovely gentle manner which creates a really pleasant class environment and I would highly recommend her classes and or teachings for yoga enthusiasts of all levels. Gerry - New Zealand
My practice has expanded in so many ways since I began my Yoga journey with Aly a few years ago. I come to the mat open minded, open hearted and ready to absorb her wonderful knowledge, energy and authenticity. I have always enjoyed what Yoga does for me physically, but with Aly I have learnt more about its benefits for heart, mind and spirit too. During the lockdowns her classes migrated online and her connection to her students, despite not being in person, was a lifeline. Thank you Aly. Clare A - United Kingdom
Thank you so much for sharing Yin Yoga sequences and affirmations, it’s wonderful. I am so looking forward to continuing my Yoga journey with your guidance. You are such a kind and brilliant teacher and I am very grateful for the care you take to create a welcoming and nurturing space for us to practice. I absolutely love your classes as you can probably tell - on my mat in your class is the only time in the week I feel fully in the moment, so thank you.
Tracey J - United Kingdom
