Our Mission: Every Body Belongs Here
hi, i’m allie — the educator, guide, and compassionate movement-nerd behind connected core yoga.
Traditional fitness or general yoga classes rarely address what so many of us actually live with:
pregnancy + birth changes, C-sections, abdominal separation, hormonal shifts, chronic tension, stress, fatigue, and the quiet ways our bodies adapt and compensate.
Connected Core Yoga™ exists to fill that gap.
I blend yoga, corrective exercise, embodied anatomy, breath mechanics, and trauma-informed education to help you rebuild strength and confidence from the inside out — without pressure, shame, or performative “wellness.”
Like many of the folks I serve, I’ve lived through my own seasons of physical change: years postpartum, C-section recovery, chronic symptoms, hormonal shifts, and the frustration of being told to “just do kegels” or “work your core” — advice that often made things worse.
That experience sent me deep into specialized education built around compassion and science.
Today, my work blends:
Pelvic Floor Yoga™ Teacher Training with Leslie Howard
Pregnancy & Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist (PCES) training
Functional anatomy + breath mechanics
Movement for menopause and midlife
Prenatal yoga + ongoing professional development
This foundation is what shapes the supportive, shame-free, practical style of care I offer now.
Connected Core Yoga™ grew out of that journey: a space where education and embodiment meet.
Pelvic-floor-informed movement without fear or forcing
Breath mechanics that support core + pelvic floor health
Functional strength for real-life demands
Accessible yoga for beginners, return-to-movement, and midlife transitions
A trauma-informed, inclusive space for all bodies, identities, and experiences
Education-first guidance so you understand why your body feels the way it does
How I can support you
Group Classes
Gentle, accessible yoga pathways designed for core + pelvic health, nervous system support, and strength you can feel in daily life.
Workshops
Focused education and guided movement for pelvic health, breath mechanics, functional aging, and more.
1:1 Sessions
For folks who want personalized guidance, exercise plans, symptom support, or a deeper understanding of their core and pelvic floor.
Perfect alongside pelvic floor physiotherapy or as your next step after it.
Online (coming soon)
Zoom group classes + a growing on-demand library for support from anywhere..
A space where you are truly supported
My hope is that when you step onto the mat with me — in person or online — you feel welcomed, understood, and encouraged. No pressure. No performative fitness. Just real, supportive movement for real bodies and real life.
If you’re navigating postpartum changes, midlife transitions, core or pelvic floor concerns, or you’re simply wanting to reconnect with your body again — you’re in the right place.
I’m so glad you’re here.
I support folks through postpartum, peri/menopause, surgical recovery, and every transition in between with functional movement, pelvic-floor-informed yoga, and accessible 1:1 care.
If you’re navigating changes in your body — leaking, heaviness, core weakness, pain, overwhelm, or simply feeling disconnected — you’re in the right place.
You deserve movement that meets you where you are.

what students are saying
"Working with Allie was great! The constant need to pee was taking over my life. She gave me simple, gentle poses that helped me reconnect, ease tension, and build confidence again." - Denise M.
"I started attending Allie’s Core and Pelvic Floor class to see what it was all about and now it’s on my list of ‘must attend classes’ for the week! She integrates breath with strength and stretch exercises for all fitness levels and you will leave feeling relaxed and truly grounded." - Beth H.
