Before guiding others through movement and mindfulness, maintaining personal well-being is essential. Alia Rice shares the daily habits that help them stay grounded, ensuring they can offer thoughtful, intentional instruction while preserving their own mental clarity.
Alia Rice spoke about the sacred rhythm of her daily practices—intentional rituals that cultivate clarity, balance, and renewal. By maintaining a clean and organized space, she creates an environment that reflects inner harmony. Through the gentle presence of spiritual candles, essential oils, and diffusers, she engages in energy cleansing, allowing each breath to bring restoration and ease. These practices are not just routines but acts of reverence, helping us reset and replenish after guiding others through movement and mindfulness. In honoring their own space, Alia deepen her ability to hold space for others, embodying the essence of mindful living.
