30+ years as a dancer, and 12+ 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 23+ years and their young daughter.
