Bio:
Alison Hammond Castro was introduced to Ashtanga yoga 20 years ago in Berkeley, California. Hoping to heal a shoulder injury sustained in a Frisbee game, she grew to cherish her yoga nights for the peace of mind and body awareness. In 2009, Alison completed the Foundation Teacher Training with Ana Forrest followed by a one-year mentorship with Forrest Yoga Guardian and Mentor Teacher Brian Campbell.
Alison earnestly upholds the four pillars of Forrest Yoga: breath, strength, integrity, and spirit. Her classes emphasize spreading breath throughout the body, smart alignment, strength, and body awareness. Alison intuitively provides effective hands on adjustments to help students gain a deeper understanding of their own bodies both on and off the mat.
