Her love of yoga and dedication to her own practice awakened a desire to further her study and humbly pursue the possibility of teaching. And once she began, there was no turning back!

Blending the many traditions that she has studied, Alex brings flowing sequences, chanting and mindful instruction to all of her classes.
