Ali Cramer

Ali Cramer has been teaching yoga since 2004. She is a guest teacher at Columbia University, where she teaches Chakras and Ayurveda for their Spirituality Mind Body Institute’s Summer Immersion Master’s Program. In 2013, she led the very first yoga teacher training in the Sudan, where she also worked with therapists at refugee relief centers and in schools throughout Khartoum. Ayurveda is her primary inspiration for her teaching style, offering a way for each student to take responsibility for their own practice through the guidance of a structured class, bringing empowerment through inquiry and exploration.

Yoga for creativity
The practice of yoga is based on an ancient system of chakras, or energy centers within us that manifest physically, emotionally and spiritually. Ali Cramer designed this workshop to open up the second chakra, which is associated with identifying and stimulating our unique creative gifts.
