The most compelling part about Within is Allie's deeply compassionate, reassuring, and humble spirit. The yoga, breathwork, meditation, and embodied writing practices were all amazing, but it was Allie's chosen words and heartwarming guidance nested among the multi-faceted practices that made the experience truly transformative. I was blown away by the intentionality of each session -- they were crafted with such care and sensitivity.

This is not merely a yoga and writing class that you show up to each week (though that type of practice is very welcome); it is truly a community-centered collective that sparks ongoing conversations about the things that matter most. I am so grateful that I chose to join Within.

"Allie has a way of humanizing every living emotion. Her gracious energy inspires you to explore the unexplored and her validating presence makes it safe for you to admit to your human experiences. Taking part in Within is like planting a seed. The tools offered throughout the course provide nutrient-rich soil for you to grow. Your net of roots will dig deeper, your bud will sprout closer to the light."

It is hard for me to express just how much WITHIN means to me. I love going WITHIN with the combination of yoga, meditation, breathing and writing, and with Allie and the community holding space for all of us to be just the way we are in the moment.

It is all so beautifully and thoughtfully put together with so much heart...a space that feels really safe to be a part of.

I would like everyone (in the world but especially those committed to deep self healing and self reflection) to know that Within is an incredibly moving, gentle experience that I truly believe would benefit yoga practitioners and writers of all experience and interest levels. It was my first ever writing workshop so I had a bit of nervous energy going into it but that immediately melted away when I saw Allie's kind eyes, open heart, and smiling face over our first Zoom. Yes, you read that right, I saw her open heart...I swear, I don't know how to describe it but with Allie it's true. You can see and feel her warm heart and generous spirit radiating through the screen as she guides you in gentle movement, meditation, breath work, and takes you through a series of writing prompts that unlock all different parts of your imagination.

These beautifully curated and facilitated sessions were such a gift. It was so special to connect with people in different parts of the world, to share our vulnerabilities, fears, hopes and strength; to move, reflect and grow together with the wonderful guidance and support of Allie. It was such a treat and a really nourishing experience for my mind, body and soul. I would highly recommend Within - Allie's ability to gently hold and guide the group makes you feel safe and cared for as well as inspired to continue looking within and growing.

Joining WITHIN by Allie was stepping into a serene, tender-hearted world uniting self-reflection and community appreciation. The classes naturally blend together a variety of yoga and meditation practices, further informed by Allie's medical anthropology background, which, as an athlete, resonated deeply and gave me a new sense of gratitude for my physical body. The journaling prompts provide equal parts guidance and freedom to explore your own mind. With Allie as our empathetic facilitator, seamlessly adapting to the needs of the group, I left each week with inspiration and a restored self-love. I was in awe of the original minds I was sharing the space with and look forward to seeing how they evolve and what they create.

— Corinne M., Brooklyn, USA

“Within opens the heart and the creative spirit. It brings into deeper connection the mind, body, and soul, as well as the parts of life (work, leisure, spiritual practice, etc) that sometimes feel cut off from each other. This is thanks to Allie’s loving, playful, and supportive guidance, her experience and wisdom in neuroscience, embodiment, meditation, and social justice, and the community that gathers to partake in such exploration. This program is especially helpful to my dissertation writing, as it has allowed me to confront my insecurities and ground into my values, and the love that nurtures all creativity.”

— Lindsay O., Brooklyn, USA

Within has given me possibilities to lift my head and see that there is a possibility to expand into something greater. It has created a magical group under fantastic Allies warm hand that have led me forward and experience lost sensations. It really exceeded my expectations and have changed my behavior in life. It has given me the possibilities to find new ways of facing things. Just having this meetings when I can feel so calm and relaxed makes me so grateful. It is a truely eye opener for different parts of life. I highly recommend this since it has given me so much joy to explore the inner me with the most gentle support from Allie and the group.

— Erika D., Sweden

Through life I've been a "writing person". At times also professionally, but that isn't what it's about for me. It's about connection with myself, having a channel where I connect with nature, with the beauty of this world. Embodied writing, a thing new to me, stole my heart. Maybe it wasn't new, but presented to me in a way, so that I could recognize it. I love the yoga, medi and breathwork, letting me ground. Allie has in such a beautiful and gentle way made this journey, that Within is, such a precious one. Holding this space for as all. Bringing together this wonderful group of people. I recommend it to anyone, with all of my heart.

— Catrin K., Sweden

WITHIN was an incredible experience and the people around me could see how it improves my life. I was looking forward to waking up to write. I found it easier to write for work, less self doubt. I felt like each week catered to things I was dealing with. I often find myself saying "I learnt this in my yoga class the other day". I really enjoyed this experience and Allie is such a brilliant, inspiring and gentle guide

These insights I connected with in this series, approached through the journaling and embodiment work, felt like a map for me as I navigated the process of regeneration from decay.

— Kirstie F., North Carolina, USA

"Allie puts a great deal of care and attention to detail in having each session well thought-out and full of meaning. As a participant, I felt taken care of and held, with total trust in the thoughtful container she created, woven with insightful threads throughout the asana, meditation, breathwork, and writing.

Within is a beautiful opportunity to commit to showing up for the body, mind, heart, and creativity. It grounds participants in a centered and embodied place to then be able to explore how the messages from within us express themselves through the body and the word. I wholeheartedly recommend participating."

— Brenna G., Sedona, USA

"Allie is the teacher, host and guide I needed. Her attention to everyone, empathy and warmth made the practice not only something that helped to stop & reflect, but she also made me feel safe and as a part of a community. The care and thought that was put into making every session special and different were incredible. I'm so happy I found my way back to writing and introspection in the company of amazing people and good music."

— Edite G., Sweden

"Going Within, with Allie and the community we co-created, allowed me to open. To find myself again, to feel inspired. When I started Within, I felt stuck. Directionless. At the end of six weeks, so much shifted, in my outer world and my inner world. It's not a coincidence. I put my energy into feeling my pain, in order to understand and heal. Now, I am in flow - mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually. Allie brings a warm, welcoming energy to every session. I appreciate how much thought she puts into weekly themes and writing prompts, always inviting us to engage with each other."
