"Healing happens through your body."

– Alison

Hello! Welcome! I’m Alison. For over 20 years I’ve been exploring body, breath and being. First, for my own healing. Then with students, clients, and community.

Yoga was my first love on this path. I was initially certified in Anusara. Since then I’ve studied Astanga, SATYA and Shadow Yoga. I’ve been trained in Jyotisha, Hindu mythology, and Yoga philosophy.

But I didn’t stop there because truth shows up everywhere, like a golden thread.

During the last decade, I’ve studied with body workers and PTs. Anatomy Trains, Feldenkrais, and Somatics. Polyvagal Theory, Neuroscience, and Spiritual Formation.

The school is a reflection of this depth and diversity of study. Teachings synthesize east and west, ancient and modern, Spirit and science.

We move and breath to unleash possibility. We journey inside to explore aliveness. The ultimate goal is healing through the body.
