Yoga Poses, Freedom, and You


Yoga helps us find freedom in our bodies.

There are yoga poses for every kind of lifestyle, every body type, age group, fitness level and predilection out there. Even you.

Yoga also helps us find freedom in our lives.

We start with the actual 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.

My name is Alison Alstrom. I am an Anusara - inspired™ yoga teacher in Portland, Oregon. I started this website to promote the classes and workshops I teach here in town, and elsewhere.

But it quickly evolved into a place to explore the broader teachings of the practice. 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. 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. We teach each other by sharing our stories.
