Alison has run an alternative therapy centre in Reading Town Centre for the last decade. Through working with clients over the past fifteen years she has come to understand that both positive and negative emotions can be held in muscle tissue. The state of a person's physical body is profoundly linked to their state of mind.

Through her Yoga practice she has gained an understanding of the benefits of moving with awareness, both for helping her clients and students and for maintaining her own strength and flexibility. Alison teaches Yoga classes which are open to all as well as offering private one-to-one classes.

“In the eight years since I started learning Yoga I have been amazed at the balance it has brought to my body, and how much it has furthered my understanding of my clients' needs. It is so important to integrate the needs of the spirit with the needs of the body. We've moved so far away from traditional methods of healing, such as bodywork, reflexology, even just the art of listening and taking responsibility for our own bodies. I now feel that there is a real movement forward towards these practices, and their value is beginning to be recognised by orthodox practitioners, so that they are being used in parallel with conventional medicine.”

“Yoga is a wonderful healing practice. In my classes I try to instil this sense of healing for the whole mind-body complex, which is informed by the years of study of anatomy and through the wonderful insights my clients have given me.”
