Alicia Cheung
Alicia Cheung has been a movement junkie since childhood, and started teaching group fitness classes at fifteen years of age. In her early 20s, she expanded her repertoire as a personal trainer and yoga teacher. Her journey continued through injuries sustained during a snowmobiling accident that left her unable to move for four months. With Yoga and acupuncture as her main modalities for healing, this led her to eventually earn a Masters of Science in Traditional Chinese Medicine. She has also studied and received certification in mindfulness and meditation, craniosacral therapy and nutritional counseling. While her classes are steeped in mindfulness practice, she never dismisses the power that movement has on healing, recovery and overall wellbeing. “Motion is lotion and movement is medicine,” she often tells her students.
During trainings, Alicia focuses on functional anatomy and movement, yoga psychology and philosophy, bridging the physical with the psychospiritual and relating the deeper threads of Yoga to daily life and relationships.
For the last thirty years, she has empowered her students to embody and love their anatomy, to move skillfully with great attention and care, and to establish sustainable relationships with the Earth, people and food.
Alicia loves teaching vinyasa flow, therapeutic Yin yoga, Yoga nidra, myofascial roll-n-release, online mindfulness courses, nutrition and breath work. She is a teacher’s teacher and one of many talents.
Dates and location
Ever dream of escaping Winter and traveling to a coastal paradise to study Yoga? Well, look no further!
Alicia Cheung is delighted to be returning to the gold, sandy beaches and surf towns of Morocco for two yoga teacher trainings and a retreat. Join her for our signature 200-hour yoga teacher training, January 2nd – 24th 2024.
Balance each day with an energizing walk on the beach, a dip in the cool Atlantic, a surf, camel or horseback ride at sunset or simply relax in the traditional hammam. Whatever you choose, you will be mesmerized by all that Moroccan culture and landscape offers to soothe the senses and satisfy your soul.
Set between the Atlas mountains and the Atlantic Ocean, Paradis Plage Boutique Hotel is the first luxury eco resort in Morocco that is our home away from home, and nothing short of 5-star!
Located north of Agadir and minutes from the world class surf breaks of Taghazout, Paradis Plage offers a 5 km stretch of pristine coastline that boasts epic sunsets, user-friendly surf breaks and ocean view rooms that offer tranquility and peace all day, every day.
Known for their excellence in hospitality and service, this stunning beach front resort offers fresh gourmet cuisine, a fun and friendly surf club, outdoor pool and jacuzzi, indoor/outdoor fitness center and kid’s club.
If you are an adventurer at heart, you will want to come early or stay later as there is so much to see and do in Morocco-hiking to remote waterfalls, surfing world class waves, taking a scenic drive through the Atlas Mountains, a camel ride through the Sahara Desert, exploring the medinas of Marrakech or getting lost in the small coastal town, Essaouira, a famous wind and kite surfing destination.
So, you can check two things off your bucket list when you come to Morocco and study with us!
