Alyson Yoga Teacher

Registered Level 2 Member Yoga Australia

Alyson began practicing Ashtanga Yoga in 2001 under the guidance of Certified Ashtanga Yoga Teacher - Eileen Hall at Ashtanga YogaMoves in Sydney.

In 2006 I began a three year mentorship with Authorised Level 2 Ashtanga Yoga Teacher - Fiona Pullen. I am very grateful to Fiona for this unique opportunity which gave me over 1200hrs of training experience under senior teachers such as herself, Paul Frechtling, Deb Grant and on several occasions, Mark Robberds. Towards the end of her mentorship with Fiona Alyson was teaching and/or assisting 5 days a week at the school and lived and breathed Ashtanga yoga.

In 2010, after the arrival of her daughter, she returned to my first teacher Eileen Hall to assist at Ashtanga YogaMoves. For two years Eileen helped me to refine her yoga practice, adjusting technique and teaching skills. Eileen is widely considered an authority on the Ashtanga method and is certified by Sri K Pattabhi Jois. Alyson feels eternally grateful to Eileen for her patience and generosity in sharing her knowledge and experience.

In 2009 Alyson spent a month in India practicing under the guidance of Sharath Jois at the Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute in Mysore.

While in Mysore she attended The Sukhashanti Anatomy and Kinesiology with Noah McKenna M. Sc. Chiro.

Alyson is currently studying Yoga Synergy Applied Anatomy & Physiology of Yoga.

Alyson regularly attends classes and workshops with Eileen Hall and with visiting teachers:

• Sharath Jois
• Manju Jois
• David Swenson
• Richard Freeman
• Dena Kingsberg
• Mark Robberds

The Wellness Centre Wollongong warmly welcomes Alyson.
