Alice Riccardi has spent decades steeped in the study and practice of yoga. Originally from New Jersey, she worked closely with Baron Baptiste before relocating with her husband, daughter, and beloved pup to his hometown of Portland, Maine—where she went on to open the city’s very first hot yoga studio. Alice is the Lead Facilitator of Grace & Glory Yoga’s Yin Yoga Teacher Training, where she translates the rigor and clarity of Baptiste-inspired power yoga into the methodology of yin. Drawing directly from her studies with yin authority Bernie Clark, Alice makes yin yoga accessible, practical, and deeply transformative. Her background extends beyond yoga into several personal development and leadership coaching schools of thought, as well as training in the Alexander Technique, which

comprehensively informs her asana teaching. This wide range of experience gives her a rare ability to weave depth, precision, and humor into every class and training.

Though she primarily works in the digital space, Alice also leads programs internationally—including at Iceland Power Yoga in Reykjavik, a long-time friend-studio to GGY. When she’s back in New Jersey, her presence is magnetic: fellow NJ-natives love her no-nonsense directness, sharp wit, and occasionally sarcastic sense of humor. Her classes are not-to-be-missed, offering students a balance of intelligence, accessibility, and embodied wisdom. For Alice, yoga is as much about leadership and personal development as it is about movement.

Her work continues to inspire teachers and students alike to approach practice as both an inner inquiry and a tool for transformation.
