ABOUT YOUR INSTRUCTORS
Lija Diem
Back in 2016, after spending over a decade running, something seemed to be missing from Lija’s regular running routine. With some gentle nudges from the Lancaster yoga community, Lija discovered that she can, in fact, be still at times, and began practicing yoga and immediately fell in love. Subsequently, she embarked on a yoga teacher training journey and completed her RYT-500 certification as well as an additional program facilitator training. With an emphasis on the physical and mental needs of athletes, Lija strives to help her students re-remember the power of play and of listening - to their bodies, themselves, and their voices. A teacher at heart, Lija also has an M. Ed in English Education and is nearly finished with an M. Ed in Educational Leadership. When she isn’t teaching, Lija is with her family, outdoors, and out of the country as much as possible - exploring, hiking, rock climbing, swimming, and eating all of the carbs. She feels most alive when she is sharing that adventurous spirit with others; Lija says, “What I love most in this life is helping people discover that things that once felt impossible are possible.”
Alax Kemp
Alax got her 200hr YTT in Hawaii in 2012. For the many years in between then and now she has been teaching free-lance style community classes all over Lancaster. You can find her teaching now every Sunday at 9:30am at West Art. Other than Yoga, Alax works full time at Lancaster Distilleries in Zoetropolis Cinema Stillhouse. Life is about balance, right? Outside of yoga and work you might find her at the movies watching the newest A24 film, running or hiking with her dogs Charlie & Penny, or climbing on rocks with her friends. "I feel best when I'm taking care of my body and want to spread the love of movement with the community around me whether that be in Lancaster or wherever I can travel."
Join Alax for Yoga! A 60-minute, all-levels vinyasa class designed to connect breath with movement in a way that is both grounding and uplifting. Set to a thoughtfully curated mix of indie-folk, ambient, and downtempo tunes, we will move through a fluid, creative sequence that emphasizes hip-opening and heart-opening, leaving you feeling both challenged and restored. This class focuses on building internal heat through playful, non-traditional sequences. Expect unexpected transitions, arm balances, and creative sequencing that makes every move feel like a dance. Let the music guide you into a meditative state of "flowmotion," where you can release the thinking mind and simply feel your body move.
All ticket sales are final. Tickets are non-transferable and non-refundable unless otherwise stated. In the case of inclement weather, this event will be cancelled and tickets will be refunded. If an event is cancelled due to weather, this will be communicated the morning of the event via email.
