Allison Sorokin EYT-500
Owner Align Yoga and Strength.

A fitness enthusiast from a young age, Allison’s yoga practice began over 20 years ago when working at a gym in the World Trade Center, it wasn’t’ until she sought refuge at a local NJ studio to find peace and quiet while dealing with PTSD did she begin to experience and understand the spiritual and emotional benefits of yoga and meditation. Over the years, she has turned to her practice again and again to heal from physical and emotional stress and injury.

After surgery for a herniated disc left her sidelined in 2009, her yoga practice took on new meaning with a focus on alignment and form to create stability while increasing flexibility and strength throughout the body and mind.

After 10 years of working in biotech, Allison left the stress of the corporate world to utilize her skills to open a Pet Sitting Business and start yoga teacher training.

Since becoming a yoga teacher in 2011, Allison has studied human movement in ernest. After a second back surgery in 2020, she is now even more focused on helping others work through the physical and emotional response of the fear, anxiety, and suffering that goes beyond the pain itself.

The classes she teaches embody both the physical and spiritual components of yoga, functional movement, and creating resilience body, mind, and spirit.
