E-RYT 500, M.Ed Fiji McAlpine

After a debilitating back injury at 21, Fiji discovered the transformative power of yoga. Not just a remedy for her physical pain, yoga became her lifeline out of anorexia, a struggle intensified by the societal pressures of California's culture.

In 2002, Fiji stumbled into teaching yoga when an instructor was a no-show. That "accident" ignited a passion for teaching and led to becoming the director of development at DoYogaWithMe, a platform with a noble cause: making yoga accessible to everyone. The platform boasts 1,000+ class videos, 300,000+ registered users, and has become a sanctuary for those recovering from eating disorders.

Fiji is also an international retreat leader and a certified Yoga Teacher Trainer, mentored by the indomitable Mary Prefontaine. For Fiji, yoga isn't just a physical practice—it's a "dress rehearsal for life." She's not just teaching yoga; she's teaching people how to be better versions of themselves.
