Alison was first introduced to yoga as a young girl watching her mother practice in front of the TV to the PBS show, "Lillias, Yoga and You." She then experienced it in high school where it was incorporated into her gym class curriculum. Alison truly fell in love with yoga in 2003 when she became ill with advanced Lyme disease. Yoga helped her manage the effects of Lyme, including the arthritis in her back and a pre-existing neck injury. Without her practice, many aches and pains return. Yoga has helped keep her body, mind and spirit in alignment and balanced; and she strives to bring the same benefits to her students. Alison completed her initial 300 hour training through Samadhi Sun, she received her certification in autism training with Samadhi Spectrum and has completed the children’s Get Grounded Level 1 training. She also served as Director of Marketing at Ashrams for Autism, a charitable organization that brings yoga and wellness into the autistic community and their families. She has received certifications in Ayurveda and Women's Health, Restorative Level 1, Hands-On Adjustments, Yin Yoga and Essential Oils, Yoga Nidra and Alignment/Anatomy through Laughing Lotus in NYC where she completed her 500 hour Advanced Teacher Training.
