A school for body, breath, & being.
Here you learn to listen to your body, develop inner knowing, and evolve your practice into a healing art.
Inner Sanctuary
12-week Immersion
Learn to be a teacher for yourself. This course synthesizes east and west, ancient and modern, Spirit and science. Classical philosophy sits beside modern neuroscience. You’ll learn about anatomy and alignment, how to calibrate your nervous system, and develop the skill for reliably potent practice.
Practice Poise
Personalize your Practice
This is 1:1 work with a big vision. During a series of sessions, clients receive structured support to personalize their practice. Support includes a curriculum that functions like a trellis. It keeps us going and growing upwards. Then during 1:1 time we make the principles precise and personal.

Evolve Your Practice
We are a school. Not a studio.
We focus on education and awareness. Yes, you still move and breathe and practice too. But the vision is bigger than that. Classes are organized along a curriculum. During live sessions, teachers sit and watch (not practice along with you) to provide personalized adjustment cues.

"I am an educator,
rather than an instructor."
– Alison
For over 20 years I’ve been exploring body, breath and being. First, for my own healing. Then walking with students, clients, and great company.
Yoga was my first love on this path. I was initially certified in Anusara. Since then I’ve studied Astanga, SATYA and Shadow Yoga. I’ve been trained in Jyotisha, Hindu mythology, and Yoga philosophy.
But I couldn’t stop there… deeper truths were calling. During the last decade, I’ve studied Rolfing, Anatomy Trains, Feldenkrais, and Somatics. Polyvagal Theory, Neuroscience, and Pyschology.
The school is a reflection of this depth and diversity of study. The teachings are Spirit-led and science-backed. Come. Explore aliveness with us.
