Tailored & Safe Approach
Yoga Therapy uses the tools of yoga to promote healing. Consideration of an individual's unique needs and capabilities in the design of a yoga practice is what separates yoga therapy from other yoga approaches. The breath is also specifically emphasized at every level of a practice, which facilitates the experience of something profound from seemingly simple techniques.
Whilst yoga classes tend to focus on attaining, maintaining or improving a state of wellness and/or proficiency in specific postures and breathing techniques, yoga therapy applies the principles and practices of yoga to address imbalances in the system that are affecting a persons life.
Yoga therapy has long been an esteemed medical discipline in India, and today in the West is increasingly recognized
as a safe and effective modality within complementary medicine.
Targets the Gross & Subtle
Yoga Therapy is one means to:
- access more clarity and calm with which to approach daily life
- gain and increase self-awareness
- stabilize emotional fluctuations
- soothe aches and pains
- address chronic pain
- reduce cravings
- improve sleep
More broadly, it can help you discover and access deeper sources of intelligence and meaning,
leading to a more purposeful and fulfilling experience of life.

Testimonials
"I started yoga therapy with Allison because I was going through an extremely challenging time in my life. We have been doing one-on-one sessions for several months now, and I cannot recommend Allison enough. She is so professional, so knowledgeable, so empathetic and understanding. I feel very comfortable with her and her calm demeanour and her immense know-how have really helped me work through the high levels of stress and anxiety I have been experiencing. Moreover, she gives great advice and suggests exercises one can do in their own time in order to incorporate yoga therapy into everyday life."
Fred, Switzerland
"Allison was fantastic to work with. I had ongoing lower back pain—stiffness, dull aches, and occasional sharp twinges that left me struggling to move. She really listened, assessed things thoroughly, and put together a short, manageable routine I could actually stick to every morning. It cleverly started in bed, moved to sitting, then standing—setting me up for the day. Over time, she adapted it to help build strength and support long-term improvement. The results have been noticeable, and I’m really grateful for her help."
Nathan, UK
"After a consultation where Allison took the time to understand my routine, physical strengths and weaknesses, and what I was looking for, she created a short morning yoga practice tailored to me. It takes about ten minutes each morning and has made a real difference – I feel better physically, and it helps me start the day with a clearer head. Her approach is calm, thoughtful, and completely personalised. She was also wonderful afterwards – always happy to answer questions and support me as I settled into the routine."
S, UK
"I would like to strongly recommend Allison as she has had such a positive effect on my health, I had been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that was causing an arthritic condition. After trying several Yoga facilitators that simply didn't work for me, I had a one to one with Allison that started my journey and changed my life.
The change to my health, pain relief, and overall well-being was phenomenal. I continued with one to ones and eventually group classes with Alison, and my love of Yoga grew and grew.”
Tom, Ireland
"It was Allison who told me “ Pain Changes Your Personality.” I realized this was so true after 14 professionals had tried to help me with my back.
It was Allison who created a practice with her Whole Body approach that finally gave me relief and helped me understand what was happening to my whole body and mind.
It is Allison’s practice that starts and ends each day and continues to keep me pain-free.
I am grateful and thankful.”
Ann, Switzerland
