Alyson's signature class, YOGInquiry, is a dynamic, transformational practice that combines compassionate embodied inquiry with trauma-informed yoga to cultivate a profound sense of wholeness.
YOGInquiry supports your personal growth and healing by integrating various somatic-based therapies, guiding you toward a more balanced and empowered self.
We practice through the lens of the nervous system and whole-self resiliency by employing trauma-informed embodiment practices from a place of safety and self-regulation.
We bring compassion to all of the parts of us, including our thoughts, sensations, and feelings, as we employ breath, rhythm, movement, yoga poses, meditation, sound, and shaking.
TRE®, developed by Dr. David Bercelli, safely elicits a natural healing reflex mechanism of shaking or vibrating in a safe and controlled environment.
The TRE® method is currently used to help people of various populations and cultures treat stress and physical and emotional trauma.
A sister method to TRE®, the Neurogenic Yoga® process incorporates yoga techniques with specific body postures to safely elicit a natural healing reflex mechanism of shaking or vibrating in a safe and controlled environment. This is similar to a shaking response one experiences after a traumatic or stressful event. When such a response is elicited in a safe environment, the body and mind can release stress and trauma.
Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy (Certified through the Wellness Institute) addresses the body, mind, and spirit, where we work together with your inner guidance, inner child, and any subconscious parts yearning to be heard and healed.
We incorporate embodied practices from an IFS lens, a non-pathologizing method of increasing Self-energy, and building cohesion among the many "parts" that comprise our internal "family."
"For more than two decades, I have witnessed Alyson's professional development paralleled and informed by her inner work. She has been an important catalyst for me at several junctures. Alyson introduced me to yoga years ago and continues to impress me with her knowledge and intuitive appreciation of how the body works. She was my entre to breathwork and trauma-informed practices. Most recently, she skillfully guided me through deep embodied IFS-informed sessions, providing me with new understanding and insight as I struggled through some new life challenges. Dr. Raskin is a caring gem with a well-equipped toolbox!"

"At a stalemate, after years of therapy, my Internal Family Systems-informed sessions with Alyson uncovered new layers of feelings that I had not allowed myself to access. It was incredibly freeing." ~ Howard E.
"I’ve taken classes with Alyson since 2007, long enough sometimes to hear "her voice. It's"I'vepeaking wise and calming words. She is an exceptional yoga instructor. Her classes incorporate elements from the wide variety of styles she has studied. In 2015, she started teaching Neurogenic Yoga®, w/Tension Release Exercises (TRE®), starting with yoga as preparation in my head. It’s a fascinating technique. During the experience, my body feels odd, but she teaches us to trust that, so it’s also fun, and afterward, I feel revitalized and uplifted." ~ Lauren Rowland
"Today's session with Alyson was powerful! Connecting with parts of yourself that are scary yet so instrumental in healing in a supported space is transforming. I look forward to more of the process and healing!" ~Lily
