Instructors:
Warriors at Ease is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2011. Our robust, world-class training programs were created as a result of the success of these studies and directly address the unique physical and mental health challenges faced by service members, their families, and caregivers.
Alli Houseworth is the Executive Director of Warriors at Ease, the spouse of an active duty Coast Guardsman, sister of a firefighter, daughter of an Army veteran, granddaughter of career Air Force and Army veterans, and great-granddaughter of a WWI Army veteran. Prior to life as a military spouse, Alli worked as a marketing and communications professional in the nonprofit and for-profit performing arts field. Alli founded the TKTS Patron Service Representative Program in New York City, ran a $135,000 digital installation program at Woolly Mammoth Theatre company deemed by the Washington Post as “a glimpse to the future,” and has been a thought-leader and public speaker on the power of social and digital media since the early 2000s. She holds a masters degree in Producing and Theatre Management from Columbia University in New York City.
Two years into life as a military spouse, Alli found her way to yoga as a means to reduce heightened stress, anxiety, and depression triggered by life in the military. Alli holds a 500 RYT designation from Yoga Alliance, Level 1 and 2 iRest Certifications, and is in the process of completing her Yoga Therapy certification. Within months of completing her initial yoga training Alli began studying with Warriors at Ease. For six years she has taught yoga and meditation to the military community at military fitness centers; the Army Recovery Care Program at Schofield Barracks, Ft. Belvoir, and Walter Reed; at an in-patient treatment center for substance use disorder; for unit PT; with O2X Human Performance; and with individual service members who are struggling with myriad physical and invisible injuries.
