Radiant Compassion Updates on Alison's Kripalu Yoga and Reiki offerings. What is radiant compassion?

People who incorporate mindfulness into daily life often describe how being in the present moment increases their connection to their sense of being. By developing a relationship with the self, a person can start to move through life from an authentic place, making choices that align with one’s morals, values, and passions. Alison believes that this practice of being true to oneself and honoring one’s inner authenticity elicits a true quality of radiance. About Alison: Alison Christiansen, LCSW, RYT, and certified Reiki Master, was initially drawn to yoga as a practice for building and maintaining the strength and flexibility she had developed as a dancer of over 15 years. By practicing yoga and mindfulness, Alison quickly discovered the joy and power of living in the present moment. When she was introduced to Kripalu yoga, while on retreat with her mother, she was attracted to the tradition’s emphasis on self-compassion and self-inquiry. Alison completed her 200-hour yoga teacher training at Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health in 2012. Her instructing is complimented by additional trainings focused on trauma-sensitive yoga and therapeutic yoga techniques. Alison is currently a practicing clinical social worker, developing a specialty in helping individuals impacted by trauma heal through mindfulness-based modalities. Alison teaches yoga in both therapeutic and studio settings in the Ithaca/Cortland area.

October is pregnancy and infant loss awareness month 🤍🤍

We lost our sweet boy, Julian, last July when I was 6 months pregnant. His due date was 10/15/25, which also happens to be Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day, today.

We lost our first pregnancy in May of 2022, she would be turning 4 so soon. I never imagined pregnancy loss would be a part of our story or such a significant part of my life for the past 4+ years. It’s a grief that’s alongside me in all moments and a continuous process of getting to know myself over and over again.

Something I hear a lot from others who’ve experienced pregnancy loss and that I feel so deeply is that these losses don’t go away, you don’t simply get over the loss of your baby and an entire potential future. Time hasn’t healed my heart, I’ve just learned with time how to allow my grief to be a part of my daily human experience. To feel into the complexities of grief, joy, sadness and hope all coexisting. So to all the other loss families out there, I see you and your babies today and every day ❤️‍🩹

Whether or not you’ve experienced pregnancy loss personally, I invite you to join the international wave of light tonight by lighting a candle at 7pm (or honestly anytime you can) in remembrance of all the sweet babies who still very much matter 🕯️✨💕

Friendly reminder no Kripalu Yoga tonight, we’ll pick back up next Wednesday! ☺️

Happy Fall Equinox 🌻🍁🍂

The start of Autumn, a moment where day and night are nearly equal; a time of balance and a shift in the seasons. This moment of harmony and evenness is a wonderful opportunity to explore what helps you feel centered. Today, contemplate, what practices bring you into balance or help you feel grounded and centered in yourself? How might you prioritize these supports this week?
