Alison Bernasco is certified at the 200-hour level, as recognized by the Yoga Alliance, having received her certification through the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health. Kripalu Yoga, a unique style of Hatha yoga, encourages self-discovery and self-inquiry. Alison strongly advocates the benefits of following the breath, sustaining the postures and surrendering to sensation, as a means of attuning to one’s own body. Though trained in the Kripalu style of Yoga, she incorporates many different elements and styles of yoga into both her instruction and her own personal practice, regularly attending and teaching classes at studios which cater to Iyengar, Vinyasa and power flow, Anusara, Bikram, and many other prevalent traditions and forms of hatha yoga. Her strong background in meditation, which she has obtained through annual weeklong Vipassana meditation retreats, adds an extra element of internalization and an introspective approach to her practice and teaching. Holding degrees from Ithaca College in both Art History and the Fine Arts, Alison's experience allows her to bring elements of creativity and room for individual expression to the practice. Selectively composing her posture sequences to fit all those in attendance, she is able to create a form of yoga all her own, one which is accessible to individuals at any level of experience. Join her for a sweet and sweaty flow that will leave you feeling inspired, challenged, and fully alive.
