Allie Geer (she/her)
My Yoga Story
I began my practice of yoga in 2006, after I was involved in a traumatic car accident. I found that yoga and meditation was an excellent way to handle pain both physically and emotionally.
It was on a trip to Thailand, the following year, that solidified my interest in yoga for therapeutic healing. In 2011 I left the corporate world and moved to Switzerland with my husband and two dogs. I began to pursue my passion here. After meeting my teacher, Stephen Thomas, in Zurich, Switzerland I began to take an in depth look at my practice and accompanied Stephen on a retreat to Bali.
In Bali, I decided to pursue this passion not only for myself, but to teach to others. The following November I completed a 200- hour intensive teacher training program at Samahita Retreat Center in Koh Samui, Thailand. I became pregnant in early 2013 and began looking for complementary practices.
I enrolled in an 80 hour prenatal yoga training with Sue Elkind, founder of DIG yoga. The journey through pregnancy and birth brought me closest to my practice. I was able to nurture the changes occurring in my body, but also truly understood my limitations.
My passion for therapeutics in yoga was truly nourished when I found my current teacher, Tiffany Cruickshank, founder of Yoga Medicine. I completed my 500 hour Advanced Training Certification in 2018. I’m a Yoga Medicine® Registered Therapeutic Specialist. I am currently enrolled in the Yoga Medicine 1000 hour advanced teacher certification, and I assist Yoga Medicine 500 hour trainings all over the world.

Hanako Gotoh, CMT (she/her)
Hello. I am Hanako Gotoh. It is my honor to be working beside Dr. aQui in your wellness journey. My style of massage works against the grain of the muscle tissue, going layer by layer, from large muscle groups to smaller muscles. This allows the muscles to break up their chronic holding patterns and return the body to its own homeostasis. I have other techniques that I can utilize as well but this muscle therapy is my preferred method to assist you in releasing acute or chronic tension, holding patterns, and movement restrictions.
As little bit about myself…. I have lived in Boulder County since my second birthday. My father is a chiropractor and alternative wellness comes naturally to me. I have been together with my husband, Scott, for 26 years. We share two children, a dog, fish, and a bunny. I have been practicing massage therapy for 15 years and look forward to more.
