what they say...
Joyce
"Alison is an excellent teacher, dedicated to the safe practice of Iyengar yoga. She gives very clear instructions, is invariably helpful and encouraging, and is always willing and able to adapt the poses to take account of people’s differing capacities and physical frailties. Although the yoga practice is taken seriously, Alison's classes are very friendly, welcoming and good fun. I thoroughly recommend them!"

"Being fairly new to Iyengar Yoga I've found Alison's classes to be a great help as I suffer with a spine problem. I couldn't have chosen a better teacher. Alison is professional, technically knowledgeable about her discipline and is also an extremely warm approachable and generous person."
“These classes, devised and expertly supervised by Alison, are superb: perfectly paced, with variations to suit everyone from novices to experienced yogis, of any age, from young students to those who, like me, are retired.”

"Over the last year I have been participating in Alison's Iyengar yoga classes & have been most impressed with her dedication, knowledge & keenness to share her skills to improve my life.
She is an excellent teacher - explicit & clear with instructions for the poses & she tailors them for each student in the class depending on everyone's personal age & physical restrictions. This means we can all be involved in the same class whatever our level & be part of the community.
She is a thoroughly lovely lady & a great example for her philosophy."

"I've been attending Alison's classes for about a year now and the progress I've made is amazing.
I originally attended a physical class once a week but since lockdown have been 'tuning in' to her virtual classes via Zoom three times a week.
The benefits of yoga are phenomenal. I feel energised, am more flexible and my posture has vastly improved.
Through Alison's teaching and detailed instruction my once mis-aligned hip has now returned to its correct position and both my hips are now level.
Alison is a very caring and considerate teacher to all her students and adapts the yoga poses to suit everyone.
I can't recommend her enough. Thank you Alison "

"I am very happy to have discovered Alison and her classes.
Alison is a knowledgeable and attentive Iyengar teacher, who has helped me to reconnect with yoga.
During lockdown, while delivering tuition on Zoom, Alison was still able to guide all of the students through the practices keeping within their own abilities and injury free. I take part three times a week and all of the practises are well planned and challenging."

“ I took up Iyengar yoga over three years ago at the I Yoga Studio and started classes with Alison there about 2 years ago. Like all Iyengar teachers she has undergone a rigorous training and I have always found her classes enjoyable and varied. Since the onset of Covid-19 I have taken up her on-line classes, which are actually more convenient than the physical classes and Alison offers the option of recording lessons I cannot ‘attend’ in real time.
The physical and psychological benefits of yoga are remarkable and I would recommend Alison’s classes without reservation. The classes are suitable for any level of fitness, the aim being to learn about one’s own body (and mind), rather than competing with anyone else."

"Alison is a wonderful yoga teacher. She is encouraging, passionate and extremely knowledgeable. Alison quickly moved from physical yoga teaching to developing the practice online during the pandemic. Even over zoom she maintains the extreme attention to detail and patient development of yoga techniques for her students. Wherever you are on your yoga journey, whether you’ve been practicing for decades or like me are just at the start, I’m confident that you will learn and develop further under Alison’s tuition."

"Alison’s yoga classes are very beneficial and suitable for you, whatever your yoga stage. Always very clear instructions so that you end up getting the maximum benefit of a pose, while being secure in the knowledge that it is safe for you.
You will find yourself doing things you never imagined possible, like bringing your outer upper arms closer to your ears while keeping your shoulders down and arms in their sockets!"
