About Alignment with Ali
Alignment with Ali is the heart of Ali’s offerings,
designed to spread light through movement and connection.
Alignment with Ali was created in 2020 to offer a safe space for community and mindfulness. Outdoor yoga classes were the only way we were allowed to come together, but now it has evolved…
During the pandemic, outdoor yoga classes brought together people of all ages and experiences as we longed for a sense of community and purpose. As we got back to a more “normal” life, Alignment with Ali had to adapt. You can now practice with Ali on-demand with over 85 videos of different durations & styles of yoga to add more accessibility & accountability to your personal practice. Pop-up classes & events continue to bring us together to keep our community connected.
Alignment with Ali has expanded to become more focused on Ali’s central offering - Acupuncture & Traditional Chinese Medicine. Ali went back to school to become a Doctor of Acupuncture and promote healing with a different modality. Her dream has always been to have a home-based practice and in 2024, that dream became a reality. You can now find her practicing acupuncture out of her house in Mckenzie Towne or at Botanical Point in Inglewood.
“When the basis for your actions is inner alignment with the present moment, your actions become empowered by the intelligence of life itself”

About Ali
Ali is a Registered Doctor of Acupuncture and 200 hour Yoga Teacher with an undergrad in Business from the Haskayne School of Business at the University of Calgary.
Ali found acupuncture after a severe injury in her early 20s left her pelvis out of alignment and she was hardly able to walk. She was skeptical when her acupuncturist started to poke her elbows rather than her hips directly but was amazed when she felt less pain almost instantly. Her curiosity sprouted from there and she became fascinated by the intricacies of acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Ali loves to now be on the other side of the treatment and help people to feel more connected to their bodies.
Outside of the treatment room, Ali teaches yoga classes that are designed to create connection and joy through movement. Ali offers an inclusive and accessible practice by offering variations and the freedom to adjust the practice to your body. Her mission is to spread light in whatever she does.
