Allison Zuchman

It is important to me to concentrate on how I move through the world. Sometimes I need to pause to find my way, and yoga allows me the space to step back, to see the big picture, and to find my own pace and rhythm.

I began teaching yoga so that I could provide a place for others to pause and to find balance in their own lives. My yoga class is a safe, peaceful, non-judgmental space where you can learn about yoga and where you can learn about yourself. Whether a very beginner or an experienced yoga student, I will help you improve your flexibility and strength, find proper alignment in each yoga posture, and coordinate your movement with your breath. Guided by my calm, clear instructions and thoughtful insight, you will find your own strength, your own pace, and your own rhythm.

Allison is a Hatha Yoga Instructor and has practiced yoga for over 14 years. She completed her teacher training in the Anusara style with Senior Anusara teachers Todd Norian and Ann Greene. As well as learning from the wonderful yoga instructors in her hometown of Portland, Maine, over the past few years, she has also attended yoga workshops and teacher trainings in Maine, Massachusetts and Vermont. Most recently, Allison completed an Anatomy and Therapeutics Workshop with Martin Kirk, and a workshop for MS Wellness Instructors.

Allison’s experience also includes group facilitation, educational workshops, and marketing and community outreach. She is a graduate of the Institute for Civic Leadership’s Collaborative Leadership Intensive. Focusing on each person’s strengths as they contribute to and participate in a larger community, her teaching style reflects my firm belief in the power of shared ideas, authentic communication and the collaborative process.
