A Bold Vision for Aging Powerfully
Aging, like Saturn, can feel limiting—but it also reveals truth, resilience, and possibility. Asana Strong helps you rewrite the story of your body with breath-driven core strength, better bone health, smarter muscle building, and strategies to increase intensity safely. This isn’t gym training or basic yoga—it’s a unique blend of asana, body awareness, and movement science designed for lasting strength and stability.

The load was exponentially heavier. And for about a year, I felt crushed by it. 

But. I got stronger. With boundaries, time management, focus, productivity, communication, emotional resilience. And my life is richer and fuller because of it. 

Despite knowing all of this, there was not enough willpower in the world to get me to the gym. So I started doing what I could, in a place I know and love: my yoga mat. 

I imagine you have your own story of cultural conditioning (brainwashing?) and your body. 

Outter strength contributes to inner strength. Then you can do mental/emotional heavy lifting too.

The 5 Alignment Principles That Transform Practice
Why does moving and breathing create healing? After decades of practice and study, Alison shares 5 core alignment principles that turn simple poses into powerful opportunities for change: Breathing with Circumference, Grounding through Bony Landmarks, Buoyancy in the Bandhas, Currents of Connection, and Origin of Movement. These principles help you build strength, stability, and grace—from the inside out.

Healing Happens Through the Body
Healing isn’t something that happens to you—it happens through you. It’s a process of engaging your body’s innate power to restore harmony, change patterns, and build resilience over time. Alison explores how movement, breath, and awareness can help you tend to your body like a garden, self-generate healing, and stay empowered even through discomfort and uncertainty.

Fear, Stress & the Upper Body Reset
Fear and stress often get trapped in the shoulders, tightening the trapezius muscles and limiting breath, movement, and even clear thinking. Alison explains how recognizing this instinctive response allows you to reset before stress takes over. Explore effective release techniques in the Upper Body Reset Workshop at Padma or through the 20 Minute Miracles App to restore ease, balance, and resilience.

Upper Body Reset for the Screen-Time Era
With over 40% of daily time spent on screens, it’s no surprise many of us experience tension, strain, and fatigue in the upper body. Alison shares simple, powerful strategies to counterbalance screen time and announces the upcoming Upper Body Reset Workshop in the Bay Area, plus accessible resources through the 20 Minute Miracles App. Reclaim ease and vitality through mindful movement and release practices.

Upper Body Reset & Bay Area Visit
Alison is heading back to the Bay Area! Join her for in-person sessions designed to reset and revitalize your upper body. Through targeted movement, breath, and alignment practices, you’ll release tension, improve mobility, and build strength in the neck, shoulders, and upper back. Whether you're recovering from strain or looking to deepen your practice, these sessions offer expert guidance and hands-on support.

What Is Alignment?
Alignment isn’t about achieving perfect symmetry—it’s about cultivating connection, coherence, and relationship within the body and beyond. Alison shares how movement practice can help develop alignment not as a rigid goal, but as a creative skill that supports awareness, strength, and intentional living. Explore these ideas further in the Updated Alignment Office Hours session.

Unpacking Common Alignment Cues
Inspired by recent conversations about the state of modern yoga, Alison revisits and updates common alignment cues. Learn why some traditional instructions—like "sitting bones back" or "tailbone down"—can lead to instability or injury, and discover healthier, more sustainable alternatives. The latest Office Hours replay is available now for the whole community (but only for a limited time!).

Awareness Is the Change
Eighteen years ago, Alison’s search for transformation began with a move from Chicago to Maui and a powerful phrase from A New Earth: “awareness is the change.” Through years of applying awareness to body, mind, and spirit, she discovered how space, new information, and conscious choices create lasting growth.

Where Has Good Yoga Gone?
In a world where tradition is often squeezed by consumer culture, the deepest, most transformative yoga has gone underground—found in small studios, innovative teachers, and personal practice. Alison reflects on how to navigate this shifting landscape and where to place your effort for a sustainable, meaningful practice. Explore these insights in the latest Office Hours recording.

The Stages of Healing: From Pain to Integration
Healing isn’t just about symptom relief—it’s a process of restoration and transformation. Alison outlines three key stages: Acute, where rest and gentle care are vital; Acceptable, when new patterns can be developed; and Integrated, where experiences of pain become opportunities for growth and empowerment. With awareness, patience, and willingness, healing becomes not just recovery, but evolution.
