Allegra has practiced yoga since 1996. She believes in its practice and teaching as service to all beings and approaches yoga as a source of joy and peace that is of benefit to all, regardless of circumstance.

Her classes are infused with yoga philosophy, pranayama, conscious alignment, and humor. Each student is invited to find the depth and pace appropriate to them in the moment.

Allegra’s classes balance tradition and innovation, center the breath, and ground the physical in a weaving of philosophy, interpersonal neurobiology, and spirituality. In many years of teaching in non-traditional settings, she’s crafted a style that offers yoga as just not something we do, but something we are, something that allows students to connect more deeply to the heart of their being, the innate value in each of us.

She is moved and influenced by the teachings of the natural world, Ayurveda, Sri Krishnamacharya, TKV Desikachar, Tias Little, Dharma Mittra, Mark Whitwell, Sarahjoy Marsh, James Fox, and many others with whose teachings she’s been grateful to connect. She bows to the lotus feet of all her teachers, past and present, and to the feet of her children, who she finds to be true and constant teachers of all aspects of the practice.
