She took her first yoga training not to become a yoga teacher but to better understand the practice. However\, within the first few weeks of the training\, she realized she had found her path and purpose. Over the past twenty years\, Allison has taught more than 15\,000 hours of yoga in group classes\, workshops\, private sessions\, and yoga teacher training.\n \n \nAllison did a 200-hour and 300-hour yoga teacher program through Cloud Nine Yoga.  She also completed over 1\,000 hours of massage training at IPSB and Mesa Academy to become a certified massage therapist.  She taught at many studios in Orange County at the beginning of her career until she found her first yoga home at Soul at Home in Tustin. While at this studio\, she helped co-create 500 hours of yoga teacher training programs with her business partner.   Also\, during this time\, she completed another 200-hour course\, this time in Kundalini Yoga\, because she has a passion for the more subtle tools that yoga offers.\n \n \nIn 2013\, Allison left the comfort of the studio she loved to follow her dreams and open a yoga studio.  She is the co-owner of Be the Change Yoga in Irvine\, CA.  Owning a yoga studio has been both a challenging and exciting experience and has helped her grow in so many ways over this past decade.  Be the Change Yoga is the only yoga studio in Orange County offering yoga therapy training.  Allison signed up to be part of the inaugural group of the AlcheMe yoga therapy program and became a yoga therapist in 2019.\n \n \nAllison is passionate about learning more about women’s health\, and how best to support them during different stages of life.  She has done additional training in yoga for fertility\, and yoga therapy for the endocrine system.  She is forever a student and is currently receiving her Master’s degree in Functional Medicine and Nutrition.  Once she has completed her Master’s degree\, she hopes to develop different yoga therapy programs for balancing hormones\, calming the nervous system\, and mindful eating.\n \n					\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					\n					\n						Katie Allen\, MPH\, C-IAYT\, E-RYT 500\n						Katie received her Master’s degree in Public Health from Tulane University. She wrote her Master’s thesis on Yoga’s ability to prevent and treat chronic disease and that has been her life’s work ever since! She studied yoga therapy in the lineage of Krishnamacharya with her teachers Ruth (Sraddhasagar) Hartung\, Larry Payne\, Robert Birnberg\, Amy Wheeler\, and the KYM faculty in Chennai\, India. \nShe opened Be The Change Yoga Studio and Natural Health Center in Irvine\, CA in 2013 with her teaching partner Allison Prince. Together they have been leading Yoga Teacher Training Programs since 2010\, Katie loves sharing the life-enhancing wisdom of the Yoga Sutras as way to upgrade every single aspect of life. Katie launched OC’s first and only Yoga Therapist Training in 2016 and is the Founding School Director for AlcheMe Yoga Therapy Training. \nShe is passionate about bringing the empowerment based lifestyle medicine principles out of the yoga studios and into under-served communities\, as well as hospitals and health systems.  She utilizes her background in Public Health to effectively build community-based yoga therapy and health education programs to improve personal and community health\, while training the next generation of integrative health providers. \nShe has been studying Ayurveda for over 10 years with Eleni Tsikrikas and Mas Vidal. She most recently formalized her Ayurveda education with James Bailey at the Sevanti Institute and is currently conducting her clinical internship hours.
