About the Company
- Mindful movement is at the core of why we do what we do at ALO. Mindful movement in the studio leads to better living, changing who yogis are off the mat, making their lives and their communities better. This is the real meaning of studio-to-street: taking the consciousness from practice on the mat and putting it into practice in life.
