Alison King Tigges, E-RYT-500 

Alison started practicing yoga in 2002. As an athlete and dancer, it seemed like a smart progression and way to heal from years of injuries. Under the direction of Theresa Murphy, Alison started teaching in 2008 at One Tree Yoga in Omaha, NE. Alison has been teaching a variety of styles there since: hot, hatha, vinyasa, yin, restorative…to name a few. Since 2013, Alison began to co-lead the studio’s 200-hour teacher training program. Alison has gone on to study with Tias Little and Prajna Yoga out of Santa Fe, NM, where she received her 500-hour certification in 2014. Alison still studies regularly with Noah Maze and YogaMaze, out of Los Angeles, CA. Alison’s commitment to training, learning and practicing all types of yoga is evident in her teaching. All of her classes include smart sequencing, strong cues on form, anatomy and alignment, as well as weaving in various aspects of yogic philosophy. While Alison’s teaching style is rooted in traditional yoga, she also brings an element of fun and light-heartedness to her classes. She believes yoga is truly for everyone, and her goal is to help as many people incorporate it into their lives as possible. Alison loves that OTY’s mission is to make yoga a life practice, both on and off the mat. Alison’s current practice is working with santosha (contentment). When Alison is not at the yoga studio, she loves spending time with her husband (J.J.)and her 2 children (Amelia and Leo).

Gabe Hopp, E-RYT-500

Gabe started practicing hot yoga in the early 2000s and then swapped over to the full spectrum of practices when she found Theresa Murphy at One Tree Yoga. Gabe received her first 200-hour yoga teacher training in Prague, Czech Republic in 2010. Since then, she has trained extensively with master teachers throughout the United States including Tias and Surya Little, Linda Spackman, Nicholai Bachman, Rod Stryker, Ben Vincent, Christina Sell, Noah Maze and Amy Matthews. In 2012-2013, Gabe twice traveled to India to study yoga therapy with Svastha yoga teachers the Mohan’s. In the fall of 2017, Gabe finished her 500-hour certification to become a Prajna Yoga teacher. Gabe’s philosophy is that yoga is a life practice. One should view yoga practice with a broad scope to include meditation, prayer, chanting, singing, compassion in action, and breathing, as well as physical postures. Through a practice of yoga, we have the opportunity to discover our true nature and our purpose for being here (dharma). Most recently, Gabe has been honing the practice of acceptance. When Gabe is not at the yoga studio, she loves spending time with her husband Lucas and her 2 sons, Ralph and Teddy.
