Hi, I'm Alison a 350 hour registered yoga teacher from Brisbane, mum to three crazy boys and an unashamed latte addict.

I specialise in adaptive yoga, and most enjoy teaching multi-levelled classes and helping each student of yoga find a variation that works for them.

After discovering yoga at university I cemented my love of the practice with twice weekly classes at my local gym. I researched teacher training and found Carrie-Anne Fields of My Health Yoga. There I began my dedicated and diverse approach to training. Since the completion of my initial 200 hour teacher training in 2007 I have gone on to study prenatal & postnatal yoga, therapeutics, kids yoga, vinyasa yoga and bhakti yoga.

In my classes, you will be guided to radical self-acceptance. My classes are most strongly influenced by the heart based, alignment focused principles of Anusara Yoga, but are a unique offering strengthened by my decade of experience in exploring how the practice can be adapted to each student's individuality. Utilising a slow flow approach allows me to ensure that each student is well grounded before moving into faster and more challenging sequences.

I have trained with many senior teachers including John Friend, Desiree Rumbaugh, Ross Rayburn, Alison Potts and Keren Cooksey. One of my core values is to be open to learning something new every day, and I'm thrilled to be able to offer the same delight of discovery to my students.
