Audrey Allen - I began my practice of yoga in 1997 when I took my first class and was hooked for life. I was drawn to teach yoga through a deep desire to share the joy and many benefits of the practice with others. As co-owner of The Yoga Company, I see and hear amazing stories of transformation through yoga every day. My intention for my classes is that they be a safe place for students to come and discover their own inner strength and peace. I truly want people to understand that they are their own best teacher, and that you only need to quiet the mind, to reveal the answers within you. My classes focus on moving the breath consciously through the body, moving from and strengthening the core, a bit of sweat and some lighthearted fun.
My training and influences comes from all areas of yoga and I have had the honor of doing further studies with Clayton Horton, Daramidhi Saraswati, Sean Corn, Bryan Kest, Prabha Duneja, Angela Farmer, Shiva Rea, Julie Gudmestad, Sharon Gannon and David Life, Sarah Powers, and all of The Yoga Company teachers past, present and future.
