Alison Melvin

Alison started her yoga journey with the Yoga Academy and the British Wheel of Yoga in 2007 and since then has studied extensively in the UK, the US and the Netherlands. She was fortunate to meet Sarah and Ty on a silent retreat at the start of her yoga training and was drawn to IYI and its programme of in-depth study. She completed the Mindfulness Meditation and Yoga Teacher Training at Spirit Rock in 2012 and appreciates bringing body, mind and heart practices together in her yoga classes, workshops and retreats.

After many years of living in Amsterdam where she raised her three children, she moved to Portugal in 2020 to start a new life with her partner. Alison is restoring an old farm and creating a space where people can take time to pause, soften and connect in the peaceful surroundings of rural Portugal. Her aspiration is to inspire and to live in a kind and sustainable way.
