Meet Alison Réaume | Yoga Teacher Training & Business Strategy

In the most recent Canvas Rebel feature, Meet Alison Reaume, I had the chance to share more about how my work has evolved—blending yoga, operations strategy, and teacher training into a grounded approach to both business and life. Whether I’m guiding a 200-hour yoga teacher training or helping a founder build sustainable systems, it all comes back to creating space for what’s real, aligned, and intentional.

Why I Do This Work

I’ve never been driven by being “the face” of a brand. What lights me up is helping other people, especially heart-led leaders, find clarity, structure, and a sense of groundedness in what they do.

That shows up in two core ways:

• Through my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training, where I guide students to let go of perfectionism, embody their values, and become confident, ethical teachers.
• And through strategic operations consulting, where I help CEOs and founders build sustainable systems that support their work without burning them out.

Both paths are different but the foundation is the same:

Creating space to breathe. Systems that serve. And work that aligns with your nervous system, not against it.

From Mat to Meeting Room

Something I shared in the article that often surprises people: my work in the business world came long before I ever trained as a yoga teacher.

I’ve led teams, coached high-performing founders, built systems for multi-million dollar companies, and held space in medical emergencies abroad. All of that experience informs the way I teach not just asana and anatomy, but real-life tools for holding space, leading with integrity, and running a business that feels human.

Inside the Alison Reaume Yoga Teacher Training Program

In my Yoga Alliance Certified 200-hour yoga teacher training program, I don’t just teach poses and cues.

We dive deep into:

• Trauma-aware teaching and nervous system regulation
• Yogic philosophy and real-world application
• Business foundations for modern yoga professionals
• Letting go of perfectionism including the myth of needing to be “ready” or “good enough” to teach

Whether students go on to teach or not, the training is a transformational experience. It’s about reconnecting with your voice, your body, and your path.

The Thread That Connects It All

Here’s what I’ve come to believe, whether I’m teaching a yoga module or mapping a 90-day strategic action plan with a founder:

Clarity and regulation create freedom.

And freedom creates sustainability.

You don’t need more chaos, more pressure, or more productivity hacks.

You need space. A structure that holds you. A system that reflects your values, not someone else’s formula.

That’s the thread woven through everything I offer.
