Meet Allison!

Originally from Minnesota, Allison has lived in DC over 7 years where she began her legal career in human rights, teaches yoga at multiple studios, and leads 200 Hour Registered Yoga Teacher Certifications. Allison has been practicing yoga since she was in high school. Her practice has grown with her, carried her through and past trauma, and remained a constant source of grounding. Just as yoga has been a consistent part of Allison, so has a passion for human rights. It is the marriage of these two that has her most excited to join Paradigm. Haiti is a country with a history of great resiliency. Through colonization, revolt, despotic regimes, and natural disaster, the light of human connectedness, a basic principle behind human rights, has prevailed. To bring her practice and a passion for the ways we are all One to a new place and to continue her own growth is what ignites and fuels this journey for Allison.
