What Clients Have To Say About Us...

It was great talking to Alicia. The questions she asked made me take a deeper look at why I want to complete the yoga course. I liked that she based her questions on my answers to the questions on the application. This makes me accountable to what I would like to achieve. I look forward to continuing to work with Alicia and Yoga Queen Academy.

So much valuable information! I feel I am ready to have a successful and sold out yoga event! Alicia and the other Yoga Queens in attendance provided so much support and some amazing ideas in a safe virtual environment. I definitely plan to take more workshops from Alicia and this Yoga School

Hi, I’m Alicia Dugar Stephenson, a distinguished yoga professional and advocate for World Peace Through Inner Peace. My journey began with a significant investment in yoga training, which led me to leave my corporate job and immerse myself in teaching 21 hours weekly at studios.

Like many, I faced the harsh reality that "yoga teachers stay broke"—until I shifted my mindset and business approach.

Working with mentors, I strategically raised my rates and built a yoga career that truly aligned with my mission. This alignment was inspired by my studies at Rice University in International Relations, where I was recognized as a Top 30 Under 30 alumna and later received Congressional Recognition for my Diplomatic Yoga Innovation.

Today, I am proud to serve as a yoga professor at a top 10 national university, where I train leaders to international standards. My internationally recognized yoga programs have alumni across multiple continents, including Olympic medalists and Guinnes World Record holders, who secure $1,500/hour invoices and beyond to share their expertise.
