Allison Faust

  • Hatha Yoga Teacher in Austin, Texas

I received my 200-hour teacher certification in 2009 and fulfilled my 500-hour advanced level requirements in 2017, both at Yoga Yoga in Austin. In 2021, I completed Level One Instructor certification in kundalini yoga with Mehtab and Guru Karam Benton. My training includes study with national teachers Seane Corn, Donna Farhi, Sadie Nardini, Leslie Kaminoff, and Gary Kraftsow, and I have been especially inspired by the writing and teaching of Judith Lasater. I also gratefully acknowledge the skill and wisdom of local teachers with whom I have studied and practiced since the 1990s in disciplines including hatha, hatha flow, ashtanga, kundalini, meditation, restorative, yin, and gong yoga, which inform my All Is One Yoga classes today.

As a recovering gymnast, I credit my yoga practice with reconnecting me to a healthy body and mind. Learning to overcome my previous training to ignore sensation and injury has led me to develop a personal practice focused on the subtler experience of yoga beyond challenging physical shapes. My desire to guide others to discover their own best practice motivates my teaching.

When I am not teaching yoga, I am selling collectible books at my bookstore, South Congress Books.
