Alison believes in making movement accessible, creative, enjoyable and functional.

She started her company, Movement at Work, in 2008 as a way to bring movement where and when people work, in their offices and online.

Alison coordinates and assists Franklin Method Teacher Trainings and co-wrote Understanding the Pelvis: A Functional Approach to Yoga with Eric Franklin.

She shares ongoing yoga/movement classes and embodied study with such wonderful organizations as Guide Dogs for the Blind, eBay, Kaiser Permanente, Oregon School of Massage, Rebound Physical Therapy and the Portland Opera. She leads in-person, hands-on cadaver dissection intensives as well as online experiential anatomy courses with her cherished colleague, Ann Teachworth.

Alison lives for studying what we’re made of, and is forever fascinated with how we communicate with ourselves and others.

When she’s not diving into movement, anatomy or philosophy, you can find Alison studying Spanish, writing songs/plays/stories, kickboxing with her dad, singing, dancing Salsa, spending precious time with her one-of-a-kind husband and stepkids, or training their two wildly spoiled German Shepherds.
