Bay Area Yoga Classes, Retreats & Workshops

Yoga that holds you in the wild mess, the gritty growth, and the raw beauty of being human.

For curious movers, inner explorers, and change-makers who value presence, integrity, and shared growth—in a community that holds space for it all.

  • Trained in both science and soul

    I’m Rose! I learn everything I can about yoga and share it with you. I’m an E-RYT 200 with advanced training in trauma-informed yoga, functional neurology, prenatal yoga, and more.

  • Movement that feels like dancing

    My background in dance allows me to choreograph flows that feel rhythmic, playful, and expressive. You’ll move in ways that feel intuitive, freeing, and even fun!

  • Yoga that honors your agency

    I teach with choice in mind. Being a trauma-informed yoga instructor means gently guiding you to listen to your body, so you learn and decide what feels best for you.

  • Retreats where you can truly let go

    Years of event planning and travel mean I know how to craft the best yoga retreats where all is taken care of. When you arrive, all that’s left is to sink in. Exhale. Laugh. Feel held.

“I look forward to Rose's classes more than any other instructor I've worked with. Her vibe and classes are welcoming, inclusive, challenging, restorative, and fun. I leave feeling strong and like I've seen a friend.”

Sweet Notes

Words from Rose Alicia Yoga’s wonderful students and fellow yogis.

    “I first started taking yoga with Rose nearly four years ago. I had recently moved back to the Bay Area. From the start, Rose was always very approachable and friendly, and I instantly felt comfortable practicing with her. Now I take her classes several times a week and always look forward to them.”

    “The retreat was really well-organized, with the right blend of down time and physical activities. It was great to blend yoga practice with some outdoorsy adventures that gave us a taste of the local scenery. The food was delicious and plentiful, the yoga was great, and the vibes were unmatched!”

    - Zoe T.

    “I like how Rose explains things - she has a gift for physical metaphor, for painting a verbal picture of how to hold a pose. That has helped me as much as her methodical and subtle way of getting progressively better. I'm stronger and more flexible, thanks to her expert guidance.”

    - Leendert V.
