Allison was a fantastic instructor and an absolute pleasure to work with during our training camp in Chula Vista. She led two yoga sessions for our team and did an excellent job tailoring the classes to meet our team's needs. Communication with Allison was seamless, and she made the entire process incredibly easy from an operations standpoint. Her organization, flexibility, and positive energy stood out, and our team gained a lot from both sessions. We’re looking forward to working with her again and hope to continue sessions with her when we’re back on the West Coast.

Allison has been fantastic as I just started doing weekly sessions with her. She has a great demeanor and ensures I am getting everything out of each stretch we do. I definitely recommend her as I already look forward to my next session.

I wasn’t sure what to expect, I am not flexible at all! Allison was very calming, and showed me exercises I can do even when I can’t stretch far 😅 She is very kind, and asked questions to make sure the poses/stretches were comfortable, and modified them as needed. I also loved that when she came to help with a pose, after giving verbal directions, she asked if I was alright being touched before she moved to touch me and correct my pose. That was awesome :)
I’ve only had two lessons with her so far, one being this morning. And for the first time ever, I have absolutely no lower back pain. It’s amazing! I would definitely recommend her :)
Details: 1 student (one-on-one with instructor) • 31 - 40 years old • No yoga preference • No experience • Increased flexibility • Help with injury/pain • General fitness (e.g., weight loss, toning) • Relaxation • My home, venue, etc.

Allison, is the perfect trainer for me. She challenges and inspires me to move beyond my current ability, while also respecting where I am the day we train together. Her motivation is extremely encouraging. She listens to my needs and patiently and thoroughly answers questions and explains how to properly and safely do poses. I am truly falling in love with yoga and feel very inspired to commit to a consistent practice. I cherish her kindness, gentleness and acceptance. I highly recommend her!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I charge $125/session for one-on-one classes but I also offer a discount for weekly corporate classes at your office space. I'm happy to discuss over the phone or via the Thumbtack app!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I typically like to chat with a potential customer on the phone first to ensure it is a good fit for all parties. I like to know if there are any specific goals the potential client is hoping to meet with our sessions and if he or she has any past injuries that we need to address.
I also like my clients to know that I am a non-diet/non-weight loss trainer, which means I don't focus on the numbers on the scale. I focus on how exercise feels in the client's body, what makes them feel stronger, more balanced and more flexible.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
After many years of feeling like yoga was reserved for the flexible, I signed up for yoga teacher training with Gerhard Gessner at Prana Yoga Center in La Jolla, CA. During the training, I learned to turn my weakness into strength by creating playful sequences that go beyond stretching and tap into the true benefits of personal practice. I have focused my career on helping others become healthier.
I hold a Fitness Instruction & Exercise Science Certification from UCSD extension where I expanded my knowledge of metabolic diseases, nutrition for athletes and exercise for special populations including older adults, pregnant women and youth fitness. I work with private yoga and personal training clients, ages 12 to 92, and I teach vinyasa flow classes with an emphasis on proper alignment and breath-work.
