Founder, Wellilo
Certified Experienced Yoga Teacher, Dry Needling Practitioner

Ariele is an integrative physical therapist, interdisciplinary yoga teacher since 2001, and founder of both Wellilo + Yoga Anatomy Academy.

Ariele is especially interested in treating hip pain (FAI, Labral tears, arthritis), hypermobility, yoga injuries and chronic pain and other complex issues that have not been solved with other treatment. She uses a combination of movement and manual techniques, including dry needling.

Ariele has also taught yoga and other fitness classes in the DC area and beyond since 2001, leading workshops and retreats regionally and globally, and developing a popular YouTube channel. She became known for her skills in teaching evidence-based yoga anatomy and "self myofascial release" (self massage).

Ariele has graced the cover of Yoga Journal Australia, taught online courses for Yoga Journal, IDEA Fit, and Vessilify, and was an Athleta sponsored athlete before being sponsored by KiraGrace for over a decade.
