Allyson Rooney

Growing up as a gymnast, Allyson was naturally drawn to the Asana practice. She has always been fascinated by and in awe of what the body is capable of doing. The possibilities are endless! As a physical therapist for over 25 years, she continues to utilize this same passion for movement, alignment, breath, strength, and balance, not only in rehabilitating patients but also in the role of preventing injuries, managing chronic conditions and ultimately maximizing functional mobility and strength. Allyson received her 200-hour Power Vinyasa Yoga Teacher training through Ayana Yoga in 2014, and completed Charlotte’s first 50-hour Rocket Vinyasa Training in May 2018 led by Patrick McLeaf and assisted by Jaimis Huff. Allyson is so grateful for the amazing teachers who continue to instruct, encourage, support and push her. She feels physically stronger now than 10 years ago. Who says you can’t get stronger with age? She loves this physical practice but now sees what my yoga teachers have been saying all along... “As you continue to consistently practice yoga on your mat, you start to see how it transforms your life “off the mat”. The pranayama, the yamas, niyamas, etc. Basically, everything that makes you a good human being. These teachings are powerful and have been an incredible tool in raising her 2 daughters.
