It blew up our feed and we’re not going to lie, we’ve hit “15 more minutes” on our phone’s social media time checker about 20 times.
Dancing on Alo Roller Skates to live DJ sets? Pool party with Olympic swimmers? Free facials and massages at the on-site Alo Spa with Alo Glow System products? Sneak previews of not-yet-released drops (hint: SMELLS. SO. GOOD.)?
Alo House was the gift that kept on giving and we were (still are) living for every second of it — whether we were lucky enough to land a spot on the guest list or caught up digitally every hour on the hour.
If you found yourself dedicated to keeping up with this summer’s biggest bash, we have a little more action to give you an up close and personal look into the week-long Alo-fest: reports from a few of our friends who made the Alo house their home. Get comfy, hit that “ignore for the rest of the day” button, and let’s sip, stretch, and seed with our friends from Alo House.
SHAUN POLERA
WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE PART OF ALO HOUSE?
“The opportunity to meet everyone from the Alo community. Both the staff and the other fitness content creators. Alo has chosen to work and partner with such a diverse group of individuals who offer so much knowledge and insight into their respective fields and being able to learn and connect with them was something I loved being able to experience.”
WHAT WAS THE MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT AT ALO HOUSE?
“Not to be corny, but the exact moment I came around the corner of the house and saw the courtyard/driveway. The set up and aesthetic of the whole house gave me goosebumps. I moved from NY to CA in January and to be honest, it hadn’t really clicked yet. However, that moment of seeing the house in its entirety provided me with that ‘I’ve finally made it to LA’ moment. I’d never been able to be a part of an event like that and it’s a moment I'll never forget!”
WOULD YOU COME BACK TO ALO HOUSE AGAIN?
“Without a doubt! I’d never miss an opportunity to be a part of another Alo House or any Alo event for that matter. The extent the brand thought through to put together such an outstanding week for all those who were able to come proved why Alo separates themselves from any other lifestyle brand.”
RIVKA PEIFFER
WHAT WAS THE MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT AT ALO HOUSE?
“I loved the sound baths most – the coming together with connected breath through meditation and sound healing was powerful!”
DID YOU TRY ANY NEW FORMS OF YOGA OR SELF-CARE?
“I went to two really beautifully taught yoga classes, enjoyed therapeutic acro yoga with Andrew Sealy, had a crystal reading, and, my favorite, had an astrology reading (I loved getting an opportunity to deepen my understanding of my natal chart and see what’s written in the stars for me).”
DID YOU MAKE ANY NEW FRIENDS?
“I did! And I even got to see friends I hadn’t seen in 6 years. It was a lovely surprise to see so much of my community that I already know and love but also get to know and connect with new faces too.”
NIKKO REYES
WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE PART OF ALO HOUSE?
“My favorite part was seeing the diversity and inclusivity of the group of people throughout Alo House. It was awesome seeing everyone with different backgrounds and cultures come together to celebrate health and fitness.”
HOW WAS IT BEING ABLE TO CONNECT WITH THE COMMUNITY IN-PERSON?
“Connecting with like-minded people that share the same passions and together experience this awesome brand was incredible. It felt so good to be able to meet new friends and connect with them in-person rather than online. And everyone looked amazing in their Alo gear!”
LEXI WOOD
HOW WAS IT BEING ABLE TO CONNECT WITH THE COMMUNITY IN-PERSON?
“It was so amazing connecting in real life with the Alo community. I got to experience so much within the Alo wellness community – from teaching me new yoga techniques to sound baths to Alo skin care and everything in between! Alo has aligned me with such amazing people that will be friends for life!”
WHAT WAS THE MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT?
“My most memorable moment at Alo House was my acro yoga experience! I did it with the amazing Andrew Sealy. Going into it I was nervous but once Andrew and I were in the flow I had so much confidence in every move and was so connected to Andrew I felt like a new person after!”
MAMÉ ADJEI
WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE PART OF ALO HOUSE?
“My favorite part was trying out all the different activations! I tried acro yoga for the first time and LOVED it, and now, I can’t wait for the opportunity to do more of it.”
HOW WAS IT BEING ABLE TO CONNECT WITH COMMUNITY IN-PERSON AGAIN?
“It was really amazing meeting everyone again after being locked inside for a year. Everyone was so nice and so aligned. I loved how everything was done in such a mindful way.”
ALYSON STONER
“Recently, I was invited to an incredibly well-curated experience from Alo that included movement classes, wellness treatments, 1-on-1's with holistic practitioners, gorgeous apparel, free skincare, and a surreal city view.
This day became way more significant than expected.
I haven’t worn (knowingly, at least) anything from Alo before this day, because I was unfamiliar and therefore apprehensive about their accessibility, affordability and overall depiction of wellness. What I learned upon arrival is that there are genuine strides being made and there’s been growth toward inclusion and an overall shift in paradigm over the years.
Thank you, Alo. I cherished every moment.”
We didn’t think it was possible, but the level of FOMO just tripled. Because we have enough Alo House content to last us a lifetime, follow along with us on @Alo and @AloYoga as we continue to soak in all that Alo House energy.
