Testimonials

“I have participated in many motivational seminars and heard an array of speakers, but I will say Allison gave the most beneficial and relevant information to use right now in my life- today!   She was funny, to the point and easy to comprehend. She inspired me to feel better, do better and step forward with passion into my career, my family, my life. 

I never knew being me could be so easy!” Jerry Kinman

“Yatra- The Journey contains pages laced with passion and wisdom from the beginning to the end. Keep a pen and paper nearby with an open heart while reading this book and you will see how it is truly a handbook for the soul”. Jax Riley

Her seminars, conducted throughout the U.S, are edgy and thought provoking.  Most importantly, they awaken an empowerment to move towards creating not only a balanced and healthy external environment, but also an internal world that feels purposeful and liberated.  Her classes draw you into the space of Divinity, letting you experience and taste the sweetness of your own soul.  Her energy leading the class pulls and unites the fragmented energy from the outer and inner realms into an experience where we can become lost, yet found.  

“When you go to a yoga class with Allison teaching, it is like you are in soulful gospel, a spiritual detox, as well as receiving an embrace directly on to your soul. It is an experience!” Katie Hancock

“I have sat with many counsleors and therapists, only to feel more confused and broken.  But the moment I sat with Allison I felt normal, loved and inspired.  I began to really understand what life is about, a bit of suffering, but also the ability to experience it with grace and ease.  If the whole world could sit with Allison for just a moment, we would all relax a bit more and have less riddled worries and fears! You will love her – just as much as all us who have sat in the same soft sofa before you!”  Ginger Cannon
