My Mission for You:
Strength & Freedom.
Hi There!
I’m Alison, and as a certified Yoga Therapist I have come to understand yoga as simply empowered living.
Most people expect a yoga practice to involve flexibility and strength of the body, eventually leading to standing on your head. This is the great myth, for yoga is a lifestyle practice of flexibility and strength that is rooted in the mind.
The lens we choose to view a situation, judge a person or interact with the world can be changed. Yoga teaches us how to change our minds like changing the lens. Working with a teacher, we gain freedom from suffering as we strengthen body, mind and spirit all at once.
How It Works:
Benefits of Yoga
BETTER SLEEP
Nearly 60 studies in this systematic search reported significant improvements in sleep quality, including impact upon various physiological and psychological functions.
BONE DENSITY
This study published by the National Institute of Health indicates that a daily 12-minute yoga routine can reverse bone loss in individuals with osteoporosis.
STRESS REDUCTION
Yoga has been shown to reduce cortisol levels by up to 27%, promoting a calmer nervous system and improved mood (Harvard Health Publishing).
CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH
A study published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology found yoga to lower blood pressure, cholesterol, and resting heart rate—reducing overall risk of heart disease.
