I’m Alice Miller, a yoga teacher and Pilates instructor passionate about helping others connect mind and body through intentional movement. I completed my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training with Erin Kuehl at Evolve Yoga in Sioux City, IA, and am registered with Yoga Alliance. With 500+ in-person teaching hours, I guide each class with warmth, presence, and purpose. I love teaching Yin and Vinyasa yoga—both allow for a thoughtful blend of breath, mobility, and flexibility. I believe yoga not only builds strength but also brings mental clarity and inner connection. Each class I lead is grounded in intention, encouraging students to move with awareness and trust their bodies. During my training, I was introduced to the Andean wisdom teachings and energy medicine of Peru, which opened a path of deep personal growth. I became a Mesa carrier in 2021 after studying with Celia Blackwood in Tucson, AZ, and continue to walk this path with reverence, weaving its teachings into my work. In 2025, I earned my Phase 1 Mat Pilates Certification through AAAI/ISMA. Pilates helped me rebuild strength and core stability, making it a perfect complement to yoga. I value its role in supporting joint health, posture, and mindful movement. My journey with Empower began when I stepped back from teaching to focus on my own wellness. That reset sparked a renewed passion to teach from a place of balance. Now, I bring that balance to the Empower community through yoga and Pilates offerings that slow things down and enhance functional movement. I coach with kindness and inclusivity, aiming to create a space where everyone feels supported. Outside of the studio, I love lifting weights, making music with my husband, and collecting all things pink flamingo—they’re my reminder to lead with joy.
In 2018 I made the commitment to myself to enroll in yoga teacher training at Evolve Yoga and Wellness in Sioux City, IA. My initial goal was to dive deeper into the practice and philosophy for myself, but what I found is that I was driven to share with others. For me, the path to becoming a teacher was terrifying. I pushed through fear, limiting beliefs, looked at those parts of me that I didn’t want to acknowledge and felt the feels. What I found is that I’m strong, resilient, compassionate and courageous too. A friend once told me, “The way to it is through it.” So true. You have to go through the things to get to the goal at the end. I look at yoga as a map for exploring our inner world. It helps us bypass our thinking minds with breath and movement, allowing us to anchor more deeply into our bodies and senses. From this space, we can begin to cultivate a connection to our deeper selves, creating space for positive change. This has a ripple effect. As we make changes within, our outer world changes too. I’m driven to share this with others. I want to help them see just how magnificent and strong and resilient they are too! Community empowerment – yeah! We all do better together.
So that’s that and how I came to Yoga, but I feel it’s important to tell you how I found myself at Empower. Niki reached out to me about teaching yoga here at Empower at the exact time I found myself struggling again (I’ll be so bold as to even name it…perimenopause. It’s a thing). I took a little time to consider, and what I realized is that I needed the support this time. I needed to take classes instead of being the coach or teacher. However, it wasn’t long before I realized I just had to be a part of this amazing team that truly does empower women together in community! I have really been enjoying digging in and working hard, building the strength which I believe is going to take me through this next transition in life. I look forward to journeying with you all, both as a fellow human working hard AND as a coach helping you dig deep. A bit more about my certifications and training: I completed my 200-hour yoga teacher training with Erin Kuehl at Evolve Yoga and Wellness in Sioux City IA in 2018, becoming registered with Yoga Alliance in 2020. During yoga teacher training, Erin introduced us all to the depth and beauty of the Andean wisdom teachings of Peru. These teachings are steeped in energy medicine and earth honoring practices. I went on to deepen those studies further by completing Mesachakuy with Celia Blackwood of Tucson, AZ becoming a Mesa Carrier in 2021. I continue to deepen my studies and learn ways to navigate the uncertainties of life in a deep and meaningful way. I look forward to our journey!
