Register Learn MoreIt’s been 108 days since I last taught a public yoga class. Prior to that day, I was in 5 or 6 different places every day of the week except Friday teaching my heart out. I spent my hours planning connection with other humans and then fulfilling that connection through my teaching career. I love …

I can’t say enough about Allison’s talent as a yoga instructor. I have a history of back issues, and tried yoga off and on for years. It never “stuck” because it would aggravate my back, or I found the instructor to not be attentive enough to alignment and the prevention of injuries. With Allison, it “stuck”. I studied with her consistently for ten years (I only stopped because I moved out of state). Her awareness of alignment, injury prevention, and the personal interest she takes in her students is unsurpassed. Studying with Allison has had amazing positive impact on both my physical and mental well-being. I miss her, and can’t find a suitable replacement where I moved. If you have the opportunity to study with Allison, please do yourself a favor and do so!
Intuitive, caring, knowledgeable, curious, and funny are just some of the words that describe Allison. She is a yoga instructor who brings light and direction to each class as she helps her students grow physically, mentally, and emotionally. I’ve laughed in her class, cried as emotions seemingly were released from deep within my muscles, and always left the mat feeling expanded. She thoughtfully plans each sequence in service of the intention for the class. Allison’s knowledge of science and biomechanics enables her to help people with mild to more serious limitations adjust poses in specific ways so they can still feel the benefits of the practice. I started going to Allison’s class during a difficult time in my life. She immeasurably helped me cope with the stress in my life, regain confidence, and feel better physically. I have moved from the Chicago area and miss her classes. I enjoy using her Yoga + Travel app, which is user-friendly.
I was very skeptical about starting yoga, but Allison made it very accessible and balanced each session’s focus on my long-term flexibility improvements and my immediate areas of aches and soreness. As someone who spends way too many hours on planes and treadmills, I look forward to my weekend sessions with Allison to undo all the damage I do to my body during the week.
Two years ago when I first joined Equinox, I stumbled upon Allison English’s Vinyasa Yoga class and was immediately hooked. It truly felt like I had gone in for a private yoga class even with about 25 others in the room. Before each class, Allison chats with each student to find out how they are feeling that day. She then makes sure that when we are doing a certain pose or exercise that tends to their pain point, she provides hands on adjustments to help that area. I had a baby 3 months ago and practiced with Allison throughout my entire pregnancy – she always made it a point to provide alternative poses to the ones I couldn’t do, again making it feel like a private yoga session. I felt amazing throughout my entire pregnancy because of this. I cannot sing Allison’s praises enough. Her attentiveness and compassion for her students, as well as her love of yoga truly shines in each practice. I have yet to meet another yoga instructor like Allison. I look forward to her classes each week, as I leave each one feeling refreshed, energized and centered as I go about my day.
Allison is one of the most inspirational people I have ever met. She has taught me to be truly present in yoga, and in life. Allison is incredibly knowledgeable about the human body and mind. She has a clear desire to share everything she knows with her students to help them be the best versions of themselves. Her touch is incredibly healing and I walk away from every encounter feeling amazing. I can’t recommend the experience of working with Allison enough – it is life-changing!
