ALISON WALDMAN
|
Alison Waldman is a movement artist, wellness educator, people person, and an endlessly curious collaborator with a superpower for getting even the most skeptical to center into their bodies and minds. She believes that access to wellness is a foundational human right, and wearing leggings or being on a yoga mat is not required to harness it.
An artist at heart, Alison brings her formative and continued training in dance and music to her work. Her perception of an inextricable connection between creativity and wellness is at the core of her work and she sees the dancer inside every person – no matter their mobility, age, or background. Alison is RYT-200 certified and holds a certificate for Accessible Yoga. Her training includes trauma informed yoga, Yoga Nidra, yoga for seniors, chair yoga, and bed yoga as well as Dance for PD, Movement for MS, and Gaga movement technique. She is a proud member of the Yoga and Body Image Coalition. |
Alison serves as a Movement Artist in Residence at the Georgetown Arts and Humanities Program at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital where she leads staff wellness and patient mindfulness programming, on-site dance encounters, and their Movement for MS collaboration with the Department of Neurology. She is also on faculty at the Jewish Mindfulness Center of Washington.
In her free time Alison can be found tinkering with her sourdough starter, preparing to defend her two-time DC State Fair baking contest wins, taking walks with her dog Sesame, and being an audience member.
