What clients are saying...
"Alyson was instrumental in assisting in Antawn [Jamison]'s care over the summer. She was able to attack his deficits in joint mobility and stability using intuitive yoga techniques. He wasn't a believer at first but has stated that he will never stop doing yoga ever again and I can thank Alyson for that."

"If you're considering adding yoga to your exercise regime or maybe you already practice ... I would highly recommend you consider Sara Cain as your teacher. Sara is very, very good at blending proper form and alignment into a really tough workout! I had lower back surgery 4 years ago so finding a teacher who really knows physiology was important to me. Sara is a great teacher and a grounded person who simply loves yoga and helping people."

"As I have aged, I have continued to struggle with weight and high blood pressure. When my doctor recommended yoga, and Aly in particular, I was skeptical. Yoga just didn't seem very 'manly', and thus did not fit into my concept of a real fitness program. Boy was I wrong! I have been having yoga sessions with Aly for over a year, and I am amazed at how effective it has been to improve my health. Her methods have focused heavily on core strength, flexibility, and stress relief, and the results have been great. I stand straighter, feel stronger, and have more energy. I have also gained a greater appreciation for my physical well being, which has led to better eating habits and the loss of over ten pounds. Best of all, working with Alyson has been a blast. I cannot imagine going back to those boring workout routines. If you haven't tried yoga, you should. If you want a yoga routine that is effective and fun, Aly's your instructor!"

"Sara introduced me to Yoga during a time in my life when my personal life seemed to be imploding. The stress of my life seemed almost unbearable. I began taking lessons from Sara. For the first time in a long time, I felt at peace and grounded. Not only did I feel myself becoming physically stronger, I began feeling emotionally stronger. Since that time, I have taken yoga lessons from several people. Sara still is my favorite instructor. I would highly recommend her to anyone interested!"

"I have Rheumatoid Arthritis, and have had a slight weight problem. I contacted Aly and we began working together to help me keep my joints moving. I never would have believe that in a year and half that I would be doing the things I am doing, energy I have, losing weight and feeling so confident in who I am. Aly has made a dramatic difference in my life. Thank you Aly."

“During our first season using Empower Yoga significantly increased our durability. We saw a significant decrease in injury and the kids seemed refreshed for their games. The pregame warm-ups really helped. The kids liked and enjoyed it so much we will be doing this again for Fall Conditioning!”
