Allison came to yoga in 2003, upon the recommendation from an amazing neurologist Dr. Boppana, to immediately begin a regular meditation and yoga practice to navigate an intense struggle with anxiety disorder and hypochondria. The practice and teachings of yoga became central in her life, leading down a path that is still unfolding 19 years later. For Allison, yoga, meditation, dance-movement practices and nature, are a non-negotiable in staying mentally, emotionally and physically well.

Allison is an experienced and passionate teacher offering soulful and grounded classes that empower and hopefully inspire students of all levels to connect deeply to one’s own true center and rhythm of life. Teaching since 2008, Allison designs experiences where you can expect to groove and flow, while encouraging everyone to move at their own pace. We flow through intelligent and creative sequences, staying connected to alignment and a challenging practice, all set to an intentional soundscape. Allison has taught in New York City, Los Angeles, Santa Fe and South Africa, as well as workshops and retreats around the country working with trauma survivors, caregivers and first responders. She facilitates somatic movement, dance and creativity workshops using her Emotion in Motion method. Allison is also a student of Vipassana Meditation, which has totally transformed her relationship with anxiety and navigating life in general.

Allison aims to create containers where people can continually be in the messy, hard, joyful and beautiful process of being human, healing and returning home to ourselves again and again.
