Hi, I'm Alison Hughes

Here's a little about my background.

I began my Yoga journey in 2004, when I was searching for natural therapies to assist me in coping with the challenges of living with chronic pain. I will be forever grateful to have found Dru Yoga and more recently, Qigong.

I have enjoyed teaching Dru Yoga since 2008 in various settings, including Health Clubs, the NHS, Mental Health Charites and Collages in Glasgow. 

Since moving to the beautiful village of Symington in 2013, I enjoy teaching weekly classes in the village hall, as well as in Loans village hall and weekend Events in local Hotels and Wellbeing Centres.

It is my passion to help others improve their quality of life physically, mentally and emotionally, as this is what my Yoga and Qigong practice has done for me.

My classes are suitable for all ages and levels of flexibility.  Please do not hesitate to contact me for further information.

I look forward to meeting you soon.

Aum Shanti,

Alison x

I have been doing Alison's Yoga classes whilst i have been recovering from a back injury. Alison has been fantastic at giving advice and encouraging me throughout my recovery. I am now feeling stronger and in turn this has helped my pain management and movement.

I would highly recommend Alison's class to anyone in a similar situation and to everybody really, as she has  such a lovely way of explaining, reassuring and encouraging all class participants.

Angela Smillie - Kilmarnock

Highly recommend Alison's yoga classes. Having health issues, I was unsure to start with, but I needn't have worried. I have been doing them since last year and feel recharged and chilled at the same time after every session. Alison is very experienced with boundless enthusiasm, very encouraging and empathetic. Your body will thank you!!!

Ray Houston -Troon

Alison's mix of 'Dru Yoga' along with Qigong has suited me perfectly, particularly during this period of lockdown.

I have noted over the last few weeks my flexibility has greatly improved!

Linda Lawrie - Troon

I have been enjoying Alison's Symington classes for almost 5 years. 

I joined after a serious ankle break, when I needed to develop some flexibility and balance and generally boost my confidence.

The mixture of Dru Yoga, Hatha Yoga and Qigong is excellent.

The classes are friendly and people can develop at their own pace.

Alison's enthusiasm, expertise, encouragement and guidance provide a wonderful, positive feeling of wellbeing.

Helen Walker - Symington

Alison is a fabulous teacher, she has a beautiful energy that permeates her classes.

She is very encouraging and offer options in poses depending on level of skill and ability.

Taking her classes online via 'Zoom' has been such a support to me and I am very thankful to her for this, and all she brings to our Yoga Community.
