34+ years as a dancer, and 13+ years working in group fitness, Alison's superpower is an embodied ability to track a client's physiology. For example, in her yoga classes she has a keen eye for body mechanics, and the ability to verbally assist students in making micro adjustments to attain proper form and technique.
Alison has also trained with Coach University (life coaching), Applied Astrology (interpreting natal birth charts), Eden Method (formally known as Eden Energy Medicine), and is a Registered Yoga Teacher (200 hour RYT), as well as EMYoga.
She holds over 30 fitness certifications and licenses. Most noteable are AFAA, ACE, Bokwa, and Zumba. Previously she was the USA Master Bokwa Education Specialist Trainer, traveling the USA & internationally training instructors to teach Bokwa, developing educational materials, and lecturing.
She resides in Saratoga Springs, New York with her husband of 24+ years and their young daughter.

Land Acknowledgement
We acknowledge that Saratoga Springs, New York, resides on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded lands of the Mohican, Mohawk (Kanien’kehá), and the Abenaki people who were displaced by colonization.
This land, especially the sacred healing springs in and around Saratoga Springs, has been cherished by these nations for centuries. They have respected and protected these waters, sharing them generously in peace, and honoring their healing properties.
We honor their ongoing connection to this land, respect their sovereignty, and recognize the injustices they have faced and continue to experience. We are committed to reflecting on and respecting this history, understanding the sacred nature of these springs, and working toward our shared responsibility to care for and steward this place.
