Alison is an experienced yoga teacher and passionate about guiding high quality, holistic yoga that is suitable for everybody. Her classes provide friendly, relaxed, supportive teaching and will support you in finding your own practice, helping you to listen to your own body.
Whether you need a more gentle or more strenuous physical practice Alison will guide you to practice at a level that feels right for you.
Since 2009, Alison has completed multiple yoga teacher training courses (including Advanced Yoga Teacher Training 500 hours) in traditional hatha, Sivananda and Vinyasa yoga in the UK and India.
Alison believes in helping people find their own level of practice and their own version of each yoga pose so you can practice in a way that feels helpful, safe and nourishing for you.
Everybody is different in terms of physical abilities and everybody has different reasons that bring them to yoga and what they might want from their practice. So, it only makes sense that we all practice in different ways. Alison helps you to learn how to listen to your own body and practice without ego or expectation.
Alison will help you to let go of any ideas and myths around needing to be flexible to practice yoga.
Join Alison on the mat and learn how much yoga can enhance your life: body, mind and heart.
Yoga Panacea:
Alison began teaching hatha yoga, pregnancy yoga and meditation in 2010 under 'Yoga Panacea'.
A panacea as a 'cure-all' for either everything or a complex series of problems is a mythical idea akin to searching for the holy grail.
Yoga Panacea was born out of Alison's experiences and observations that have confirmed so many times over her years of practicing and teaching that yoga is the closest thing to a panacea for health and well-being. No matter whether you are seeking healing, fitness, or inner peace, or all of the above, you will discover that the right kind of yoga guided by the right teacher will help you achieve your goal and usually so much more.
Alison eventually found her way to her first yoga class at 30 years old whilst living in New Zealand and was left amazed at how her shoulders and the whole of her back felt pain-free and comfortable for the first time in many years. She was a long way from being able to touch her toes and wondered if she would ever manage this physical feat again. Then over the following months of regular yoga practice, whilst on the way to eventually touching her toes she learned that it did not matter and that flexibility and whether you can touch your toes or not is a million miles away from what yoga is all about. Alison learned that practicing yoga is not about the stereotype of being flexible but about bringing connection with yourself and bringing body, mind and heart back into alignment for more health, strength and peace.
For Alison, yoga became her 'survival tool' for life.
