Allison Richard, BA, RYT-200. Allison first discovered yoga as a teenager back in Michigan. After a decade of self-study she wanted to make yoga a more integral part of her everyday life and completed two Yoga Alliance Certified Teacher Trainings through YogaWorks in Los Angeles, where she studied a style of Hatha yoga that balances the safety and alignment of Iyengar with the flow and breath connection of Ashtanga. Allison believes in the importance of the mind, body and breath relationship in regards to health and wellness and strives to help students experience this connection in new and exciting ways. She brings a lighthearted, nurturing spirit into each class and endeavors to facilitate a playful, yet challenging practice while encouraging students to listen and learn from their bodies. She is constantly amazed at the intelligence of nature and the wisdom it so graciously shares with us.
