from Full-Time Yoga Teacher · host reika_alexi
In our latest episode, join me in a captivating conversation with the incredible Allison Gomes, a California native with a background in ballet and a degree in Dance from UC Irvine. Allison had a semi-professional career as a modern dancer, and her journey seamlessly evolved, leading her to become a seasoned Pilates and yoga instructor. In 2019 she decided to leave LA and travel to Southeast Asia to teach yoga. Having made Southeast Asia her home for the past 6 years, Allison has spread her yoga wisdom in Thailand, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, and Laos—her current residence. In this episode, she candidly shares her transformative shift from the bustling yoga and pilates teacher life in LA to embracing a slower, more intentional lifestyle in Laos. Allison reflects on her journey, offering insights into the challenges and rewards of teaching yoga while constantly on the move. She thought she was a yogi back in LA, teaching countless classes per week to make a living. However, life in Southeast Asia has taught her to slow down, appreciate the simplicity of each moment, and embrace a more profound yogic lifestyle than she ever experienced in the hustle of Los Angeles.
