Allison Dye

Allison Dye started her career in fitness in 1999 as a personal trainer and group fitness instructor. Working from her experience in Pilates matwork (she was originally taught the classic method as a child through her dance teacher), she has taught many different types of fitness over the years, always rooting her classes in core-based, mindful movement and alignment.
She committed to a personal yoga practice after the birth of her third child. What began as a gentle way to return to movement and take a little time for herself slowly transformed into a new way thinking, being, and interacting with the world. Her favorite lessons that yoga has given her would be to not take herself so seriously, and to not sweat the “small stuff”.
Allison spends her days as a physical therapist assistant in sports medicine and outpatient rehab at the Institute for Orthopedic Surgery in Lima, Ohio. She incorporates yoga and Pilates principles into her treatment sessions, introducing mindful movement and body awareness to help patients connect to their bodies in a positive way and disassociate from pain. She spends her nights and weekends in mom-life mode. She enjoys being a dance mom, any activity that stimulates creativity, reading voraciously, coffee, sugar, yoga pants, and singing loudly to music (it helps clear that pesky throat chakra). She believes the world would be a better place if everyone practiced yoga.
