Alison West
Alison has been recognized as one of the most influential Yoga teachers in America (Sonima, 2016). A creative and original thinker published by Cambridge University Press, she has channeled her academic and scholarly background into the study of Yoga. She has practiced many forms, including Astanga and Iyengar Yoga, which has laid the foundation for much of what she teaches now. She founded www.YogaUnion.com in 1996 and opened her first studio space in 2005, specializing in both Alignment Yoga and Yoga for Backcare and Scoliosis, of which she is one of the major exponents.
Alison feels the time has come for a revolution in how we teach children and young people to sit and move and view their bodies now and in the future. She is currently writing her first Yoga book, Yoga for Backcare, to be followed by Yoga for Scoliosis, and creating a significant on-demand program, Ropes and Slings on a Yoga Wall or Door, making the material vastly more accessible to those without a rope wall. Yoga Journal has produced an on-demand, six-part Back Health Program created by Alison.
