Allison’s practice and teachings blossomed nearly a decade ago in New York City where she quickly came to admire the grounding yet vibrant experience yoga offered. Her journey has taken her across many coasts to seek training, guidance, and mentorship from acclaimed teachers and studios, all of which have uniquely influenced her personal style and approach.
In February 2014, she completed her 200-hour Interdisciplinary Teacher Training at Nosara Yoga Institute under the guidance of Don and Amba Stapleton. She returned to Nosara throughout Spring 2020 / 2021 to complete her 300-hour Advanced Training alongside Janel Schullo and Horace Usry of Nexus Yoga Institute. This beloved pocket of paradise will always have her heart, and is where she returns to annually for personal sabbatical and self-inquiry.
Additional mentorship and trainings alongside Abby Paloma and Ally Bogard have expanded her offerings in restorative yoga, meditation, pranayama, and other contemplative practices. She ultimately aspires to pursue a path in psychotherapy, integrating various therapeutic yoga + movement principles with traditional therapy practices as a way to support others in navigating the complex human experience.
Expect her class formats to be intelligently and intuitively sequenced — always accompanied by a thoughtful playlist.
Allison is a light provider, a space holder, a heart warmer, a designer of pure magic in the form of movement, music, and meaning. To experience her offerings is the equivalent of being slowly dipped in warm liquid gold. - Margaret Allen
Allison has a way with words, music, and movement that opens the hearts of everyone in her classes. - Erin Frye
Allison is able to merge movement and music in a way unlike any other yoga teacher I've ever taken from. Her classes are never the same thing twice - she is constantly offering spins on the usual movements with interesting transitions or challenging variations. And her tone is soothing, lifting, and efficient - exactly what you need, and nothing that you don't. - Rebecca Gricus
