Yoga
helps us find
freedom
in our bodies.

It also helps us to find freedom in our lives.

We start with the yoga poses, of course - mountain pose, warrior two - in our bodies is where we practice yoga, and you have to do the practice to get the benefits.

Then we find yoga poses hidden in plain sight, among all the many details that fill up our days. Really - your job, your broken heart, your communication problems in relationships - these are the Secret Lives of Yoga Poses.

And if you want them to, these poses can deliver you to the brilliance at your very core.

It's true.

They can keep you in touch with the freedom you are made of.

Alison Alstrom, Anusara-inspired™ Yoga Teacher

My name is Alison Alstrom. I teach public yoga classes, lead immersions and teacher trainings, and also serve clients one on one in a therapeutic setting in Portland, Oregon.

I started this website to promote the work I do, but it quickly evolved into a place to explore the broader teachings of the practice through writing and conntemplation. Every moment can be a yoga pose, and can inform us and empower us as we move through our lives, and I write about the ways I move through poses and moments, and post those writings here.

I would welcome your contributions at any time. We teach each other by sharing our stories. You can use the contact page to email me words or pictures, and to let me know how you'd like them used, and if I can quote you.
