Alyson Colwell-Waber
E-RYT 500, is a professional dancer, educator, and passionate yoga practitioner. She holds a BS in Physical Education & Dance Education and a MFA in Dance. Alyson founded the dance program at Meredith College where she teaches dance technique, functional anatomy, mind-body integration, and yoga. She is trained in the EmbodiYoga teacher training method led by Lisa Clark, David Beadle, Julee Snyder, and Gauri Johnson. EmbodiYoga merges the Iyengar tradition with an understanding of movement development and functional anatomy. Alyson has deepened this training with advanced studies at Asheville Yoga Center where she completed her 300-hour certification in the fall of 2018. In addition to a specialization in functional anatomy, Alyson has developed an approach to teaching yoga that integrates breath, supportive alignment, extension, the joy of movement, and an appreciation for the unique body wisdom we all have. Her aim is to create a class environment where students can explore, deepen, and expand on what they love about yoga.
