Alison Donley discovered her love for yoga when, at the age of 16, she discovered B.K.S. Iyengar’s Light on Yoga in the library of the small town of Waynesboro, PA. While she continued to practice yoga asana throughout the next 5 years of competitive gymnastics, 4 of the 5 years competing in NCAA Nationals, the real journey began when the competition ended, and the true practice of Yoga began. Alison has been practicing yoga for 34 years and teaching for over 26 years. She started yoga programs for 2 large health clubs in the West Chester area, and opened The Light Within Yoga Studio in November of 2004 after she and her husband Dean, and two children, Rachel and Trevor, moved to Southern Chester County. Alison created 2, 3-credit electives (Yoga I and Yoga II) for West Chester University, where she has been teaching since 1998, and continues to teach full time. In 2010, Alison published her book “Yoga: A Path to Wellness: a Workbook for Students”.
