Hi I'm Allyson.
I write about religion. 

After years of practicing yoga and attending Christian churches, I questioned the impact of spirituality in daily life. In 2018, I began embody.blog (formerly known as Bethel Yogi) to explore my interest in yoga as a spiritual practice. I am the managing director of Christians Practicing Yoga, a non-profit organization that honors the intersections of yoga philosophy and Christian theology.

 

When not writing or reading, I enjoy practicing aerial arts so much so that I once ran away with the circus. I have been called a cult leader by my friends because I have a degree in mass communication and religion (to be determined). My favorite thing to do on a rainy day is watch paranormal investigation shows while knitting.
