Yoga teacher. Herbalist. Researcher. The path between these disciplines was not a compromise — it was the discovery.
Meet the FounderIt started with a question that wouldn't leave her alone: why did certain yoga sequences amplify the effects of certain plants — and why had no one mapped this relationship systematically?
After 14 years of practice, study, and teaching across three continents, the answer became L'alchémille. A school designed not just to teach technique, but to explain the why beneath every sensation.
"The body is not a problem to be solved. It is a language to be learned."
Her courses draw from somatic therapy, neuroscience, traditional plant medicine, and over a decade of working directly with students whose transformations confirmed what the research was pointing toward.
Completed 200hr training in Mysore, India. Immediately noticed the plants growing around the shala and began researching their traditional use in Ayurveda.
Three-year apprenticeship with a Western herbalist and concurrent study of Ayurvedic plant medicine. First experiments combining specific sequences with adaptogenic protocols.
Collaboration with neuroscience researchers on the autonomic nervous system response to somatic movement. The data confirmed what students had been reporting for years.
The first course — Yoga + Herbalism & Anatomy — releases to a founding cohort. Waitlist fills within 72 hours. The school has found its students.
Every concept is backed by research. We love ancient wisdom — and we want to know why it works. The two are not in conflict.
Understanding that lives only in the mind fades. We design courses so that knowledge enters through the body — and stays there.
Real change doesn't happen in a weekend. We build courses for the long arc — the kind of transformation you feel in your body for the rest of your life.
The daily yoga course gave me the psychological framework I was missing. I've practiced every single day for four months. Never happened before.
I came for the yoga, stayed for the herbalism. Now I can't imagine approaching my body any other way. The anatomy module alone changed how I move.
I'm a linguist. The body-based language course was unlike anything in my field. I retained Portuguese vocabulary in ways that felt almost effortless.
I wrote more songs in two months than in the previous two years. Something in me finally had permission to be messy, to feel, to create without judgment.
Rigorous, embodied, transformative. Choose your course and begin.
