Hi, I’m Alex.
I am an Ayurvedic Yoga Specialist and 500-hour registered yoga instructor. In addition, I hold specialized certifications in meditation and mindfulness, yin yoga, breathwork, stress management, and relaxation techniques.
I completed my 200-hour yoga teacher certification with Susi Amendola, National Direct of Stress Management for the Dean Ornish Program. Susi, a former resident of the Himalayan Institute of Yoga Science and Philosophy and dedicated ayurvedist, introduced me to a traditional form of practice in which ayurveda and yoga are thought to be inseparable sister sciences, yoga asana, pranayama, and meditation offering tools to bring body, mind, and spirit back into a natural state of balance.
Susi’s connection to and stories of her time at the ashram inspired me to make my own pilgrimage to the Himalayan Institute in 2018, where I completed my 500-hour yoga teacher certification and studied under the guidance of Rolf Sovik, Pandit Rajmani Tigunait, Shari Friedrichsen, and others.
These sister sciences have profoundly transformed my life. Over my more than 15 years of study and practice, I have learned to cope with stress and anxiety, manage life-long digestive issues, and find peace and grounding in the midst of life’s ever-unfolding uncertainties. It is now my hope to offer these teachings to others as they walk their own path towards peace, balance, and fulfillment.
