OUR STORY
FROM ASPEN SHAKTI TO ALIVE ASPEN
It started as a class in a small studio in Aspen.
It stopped being a class. It became a movement, a cult, and a method with six pillars and a structure that can be taught.
The room got too small. That is a good problem to have.
So we are taking it out, with a new name, a new partner and the same energy as always.
We were always on a quest to help people go in through the body to release, feel good, find freedom and live fully awake, authentic and alive lives.
Our studio has been the heart cave of the Aspen wellness community for many years: a place people come to connect, disconnect, go deep, move their bodies without judgement and experience more mind, body, spirit connections.
Our essence was always built on a holistic connection. We took inspiration from the original Aspen Idea, a place of balance between the mind, the body and the spirit, and that is the foundation we honor as we grow.
The name is the evolved version of what we are all about, what we embody and what we are sharing. Aspen Shakti is now ALIVE Aspen. Same studio, same classes, new name and excitement.
FOUNDERS
THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE MOVEMENT
FOUNDER AND CREATIVE DIRECTOR
Jayne Gottlieb
Jayne founded Aspen Shakti in 2014 around one belief: when people come alive in their bodies, everything changes.
It started as a class in a small studio in Aspen and grew entirely through word of mouth, from one person telling another they had experienced something they couldn't quite explain and couldn't stop coming back to.
Over time it became a movement and a method built on six pillars, inspired by the original Aspen Idea. Jayne's work has reached leaders, creatives and communities through collaborations with Wanderlust, YPO, Daybreaker, Aspen Snowmass and The Aspen Institute.
CO-FOUNDER AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
Anna Falcone
Anna believes life is meant to light you up—and that the things that make us feel alive are worth following.
A lifelong dancer and movement instructor, she found her voice through dance. After graduating summa cum laude from Northeastern University with a bachelor’s degree in Business Management, she began her career in her family’s hospitality business, Ocean Properties Hotels & Resorts, learning to lead, serve, and create experiences people don’t just attend—they feel. Today, she brings that foundation together with her love of music and movement and her ability to bring ideas to life.
Anna first experienced ALIVE as a participant and immediately recognized its potential to reach new communities. She went on to become the first certified ALIVE facilitator outside Aspen. As Co-Founder & CEO of ALIVE ASPEN, she works alongside Jayne and the team to grow ALIVE into a movement method, a lifestyle brand, and a community built around something deeply human: getting out of our heads, back into our bodies, and fully into our lives.
