Alison will be living both in TRURO, Cornwall, UK and also FRIBOURG, SWITZERLAND from October 2009 for a year or two. She will develop her yoga understanding and practice further during this 'yoga sabbatical' and will return regularly to the UK to teach workshops and offer individual yoga consultations and tuition. (All her Cornish classes will be covered by experienced Iyengar Yoga teachers throughout this period. See Class Timetable Page. Thanks to those teachers.)

Thank you to all Alison's students – past, present and future – without whom she could not be a yoga teacher and would not have learnt so much. Keep up your yoga forever!
