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.

Ease Into the New Year with Curated Collections
The post-holiday rush can lead to burnout, but lasting change requires slowing down and building momentum mindfully. Alison shares how the Curated Collections—29 targeted 20 Minute Miracles practices—can help reset your body, calm your nervous system, and align with your long-term vision. Whether you need relief, strength, or a fresh start, these collections offer practical, body-centered support for the year ahead.

Let Your Body Speak—and Respond
Your feelings are your body’s language, offering constant messages. But noticing is only the first step; transformation comes when you respond. The Reclaim Joy bundle offers movement, somatic, breathing, and meditation practices designed to disrupt stress patterns, release tension, and restore calm clarity. Give yourself—or someone you love—the tools to listen and respond with care.

Be the Weighty One: Reclaim Joy
Like the heaviest grandfather clock setting the rhythm for others, you can become a steady, calming presence for your family and friends. In Reclaim Joy, Alison, Erika Belanger, and Antonika Chanel offer a bundle of practices to help you move from overwhelm to peaceful presence—especially during the busy holiday season. Cultivate the resilience and grounded energy that inspires those around you.

Practice for Freedom, Not Performance
True transformation in practice isn’t about poses or achievement—it’s about cultivating the freedom to live fully at every age. Alison shares lessons from working with clients in their 80s and how strength, flexibility, and reprogramming movement patterns create lasting change. Upcoming workshops at Padma will explore this unique blend of strength, stretch, and nervous system wisdom.

Pain Is Complex—But You’re Not Alone
Pain is never just physical. It’s layered, deeply personal, and shaped by stress, resistance, and our full human experience. In The Power of Pain, Dr. Trina Mann introduces a bio-psycho-social approach to understanding pain. Join Alison in exploring these insights—and how to reduce suffering while navigating physical challenges with awareness and compassion.

Pain, Transformation & the Dark Night of the Soul
Inspired by John of the Cross, Alison explores how pain and challenging seasons can become transformative—not obstacles, but catalysts for growth. In this Office Hours session, dive into the bio-psycho-social nature of pain, its spiritual dimensions, and how to navigate dark nights of the soul with awareness and trust in the unfolding process.

Understanding Pain: Awareness & Possibility
Pain is real, subjective, and influenced by stress, anxiety, and our own interpretations. But with understanding comes agency. Join Alison in exploring how pain works, why it arises, and how to respond with awareness and possibility—turning discomfort into a pathway for growth and resilience.

The Power of Pain
Pain—whether physical, mental, or emotional—is a universal experience, yet many of us respond to it in ways that limit growth and understanding. In The Power of Pain, Dr. Trina Mann offers surprising insights into why we experience pain, how to work with it skillfully, and how to listen to its messages without fear or avoidance. Discover how pain can become a teacher in your practice and life.

Sledgehammer or Scalpel?
When facing discomfort or imbalance—whether physical or emotional—many of us instinctively reach for dramatic solutions. But lasting healing often requires precision, patience, and skillful attention. Alison explores the power of "scalpel work": small, deliberate actions that build body awareness, stability, and endurance over time. Learn how to shift from reactive fixes to sustainable self-care and healing.

Calibrating vs. Regulating Your Nervous System
Instead of trying to regulate your nervous system—controlling or suppressing it—Alison invites you to calibrate: observe, adjust, and work with your natural inner guidance system. This compassionate approach helps you stay connected to your instincts, deepen awareness, and foster resilience. Explore how recent breathing practices support this shift and nurture your wise, wild self.

Breathing may feel natural, yet many of us struggle with it due to inherited patterns, posture, stress, or well-meaning but limiting instructions.

Build awareness, nudge the system, and develop a healthier relationship with your breath.
