A Trauma Informed Somatic Approach to Yoga
Come home to your body. Return to your breath. Reclaim your presence.
Experience trauma-informed, somatic yoga in Maple Ridge and Abbotsford. Alison’s in-person classes offer a steady, intuitive practice rooted in breath, presence, and body awareness, right here in the heart of the Fraser Valley.
🗓️ Mondays at 6:15 PM – Hatha
A balanced, breath-centered class focused on alignment, strength, and somatic awareness. Expect steady movement, time to pause and feel, and a deep emphasis on grounding through form and breath.
🗓️ Mondays at 7:30 PM – Yin
A quiet practice designed to gently release fascia, settle the nervous system, and invite deep inward listening. Long holds, supported shapes, and a meditative pace.
🗓️ Tuesdays at 10:30 AM – Hatha Yin
The best of both worlds, starting with strength-based Hatha shapes to energize and centre, then transitioning into Yin postures to unwind tension and reconnect with stillness.
🗓️ Wednesdays at 6:15 PM – Yin & Yoga Nidra
Start with deeply supported Yin shapes to settle the body, followed by a guided Yoga Nidra (yogic sleep) meditation to soothe the nervous system and access deeper states of awareness and rest.
🗓️ Thursdays at 9:00 AM – Hatha
An intentional, grounding class that emphasizes breath, stability, and mindful alignment. Designed to build functional strength while inviting presence and ease.
🗓️ Fridays at 10:30 AM – Mom & Baby Postnatal (Outdoors)
A welcoming space for new mothers and their babies. Gently rebuild core strength, relieve postpartum tension, and connect with other moms, while holding space for the messiness and beauty of early motherhood.
🗓️ Sundays at 7:45 PM – Unwind Deep Stretch (Outdoors)
A weekly exhale. This class is all about the unwind, using deep stretches, breathwork, and supported rest to release the week and prepare the body and mind for deep, nourishing sleep.
🧘♀️ Drop-ins welcome. Pre-Registration for all classes is recommended. Note Outdoor classes are weather permitting. All yoga classes held in Maple Ridge, BC or Abbotsford, BC
Starts July 31, 2025
🗓️ Thursdays at 11:00 AM – Somatic Embodiment Yoga
A slow, grounding class where somatic awareness meets traditional yoga. Through breath, movement, and stillness, you’ll gently explore the body’s cues, reconnect with inner wisdom, and support nervous system balance. This is a mindful, trauma-informed space to move with presence, soften effort, and feel from within.

A PERSONALIZED
Practice
1:1 private classes
Alison’s teaching honours slowness, silence, and the deeper self-reflective nature of practice. Through her trauma-informed and somatic approach, you’re guided not toward achieving, but toward listening. Each class and session is designed to foster body-mind reconnection, emotional presence, and sustainable rhythm.
You’ll find:
- A space where your body is never wrong
- Practices that welcome all levels, shapes, and life stages
- A rhythm that values awareness over ambition
This is an opportunity to step outside your comfort zone, try something unfamiliar, and discover the quiet power of yoga beyond the mat.
Why Practice with Me?
If you’re feeling hesitant, overwhelmed, or simply curious, start there.
You don’t need a “strong” practice or perfect flexibility. You don’t need a spiritual framework or specific goal. You just need a body and a breath, and a willingness to show up gently.

Julie
Alison is knowledgeable about the whole practice of yoga. Not just the asanas & teaching a class, but in yoga philosophy & how to share that knowledge with her students either in a YTT or a class.
"The students experience."
KRIS
Alison taught me to see the beauty in the stillness & quiet moments. It may sound simple but it’s something I still work on daily to remember to embrace the stillness instead of always needing a dynamic & intense practice to feel satisfied.
"See the beauty in the stillness."
rebecca
Before Alison, I was all about “push, push, push”, she taught me instead to “explore my edge” & really feel the benefits of slowing down which brought a totally new dimension to my practice. To “take what works & leave what doesn’t” is something that guides me everyday & every practice.
"Explore my edge."
