Alicia Bustamante, Founder

She began life as a dancer, earning an MFA in Dance from NYU. Has over 25 years teaching experience in Studios, Medical Centers, Schools, Corporate Centers and Wellness Spas.

The last 20 years have been dedicated to her lifelong passion, Yoga. She has trained at the Kripalu Institute where she earned certification as a Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapist (600 Hours). Her practice led her to the Iyengar Yoga Institute of New York where she studied many years with Genny Kapuler. For the past few years, she regularly attends workshops with Carrie Owerko.

Alicia’s style has been greatly influenced by the work of BKS Iyengar. A good warm up, flow, pace with intelligent sequencing form the base of her yoga instruction. Her contagious enthusiasm, warmth, and sense of humor make everyone feel as if they were born to do yoga.

"The joy for me in teaching yoga is that students come to release chronic tension from their bodies –and they leave with so much more." 

founder of Yoga Studio 6 LIC, isn’t happy unless her students are happy. That’s her goal for every student in every class – no matter their experience level -- and her extensive training and encouraging spirit make it happen.
