Samuel

Marcos

They say it’s first time for everything hahaha. I like how engage you make your clients so passive passionate in you delivery. It’s was a challenge for sure but my body feels relaxed! Thank you for this

Joshua

Indigo Hannon

Fabulous! Felt some great confidence in my core and back. Your teaching creates a space of safe, fun, and challenging exploration!

Karson Bo

Challenging but really good for my 1st yoga practice ever

Marcio

This is my first time to do yoga, I kinda intense but I really enjoyed it and I feel lighter!! Thanks a lot.

Incredible. After allowing too much stress to pile up it’s the beginning of everything I need. Thank you for being wonderful.

Sarah

That was great. I had a few tough days, long day of car travel, getting back to work, sitting at a desk, staring into a computer screen.  I saw your  Instagram and thought I would try out your first class today. Definitely did the trick. Already in a better place physically and mentally. Thanks!

Joseph

Wow loved the class! He anticipated my compensations and struggles perfectly! Great guide for both my body and mind. Can’t wait to try out more!

Ricardo

For someone who has never had a formal yoga class before, I thought this was an excellent first lesson from an excellent instructor. Everything from the breathing to the poses to describing what each part of your body should be doing during each stretch was meticulously conveyed by Alex in great detail. Being a novice, I did struggle and had to hit rewind a couple times, but that was on me though. I can’t wait to get much better at it and continue with the rest of these excellent yoga sessions as taught by this wonderful yoga teacher. Namaste! 🙏🏻😌

Jeff Michael

Pretty intense for my first session 😅. Love it!

Hanz

Honestly the best backbend class I’ve ever had! I haven’t heard anyone use these cues before. Felt great in my body! I feel really open and ready to take on my day 😍 will be doing every morning☀️

Audrey

This felt sooo good! My back body is constantly tight and glued up with almost zero shoulder and upper back mobility. So excited for the next flow!

Janelle

Lovely class, I love your way of describing what areas need to activate which helped me refocus and take a little more time in exploring what needs to activate and move. Backbends are one of my weaknesses with a slight fear but they've really improved during lockdown actually. Having a sense of trust in myself has begun to immerge. As a Professional Dancer, I lean more towards deep hips and hamstring openers and I have a deep love for twists but as I develop into my Yoga Teaching journey
(celebrated my 1st Anniversary this July) I love exploring my strengths and weaknesses with a more open heart and curiosity. Been following you the last month or so on Instagram, and as a fellow Gay Yoga Teacher, it warms my heart to connect with you. That's actually been one of the unexpected positives of all the Isolation in Lockdown as a result of COVID19. It's allowed me to connect with teachers across the world, both in yoga and dance that I wouldn't  have been able to before. Thank you 😊

Welcome to Discover Your Heart!

This class will introduce basic principles you’ll need to move into backbends, aka heart openers! 

Today’s peak pose is bow pose! 

“Discovering” your heart is all about being present & bringing your attention to your heart space. This practice of awareness will reveal all the potential you have in your body & mind, so you can truly open up in the most beautiful ways!

I’d love to hear your feedback & see your practice! Message me & tag me in any post of yours so we can further connect. 

I’m so excited you’re starting this journey!

Day 1 - Discover Your Heart

Another great class! Just really do a great job of predicting tension and helping keep the flow. I needed this today!

So, the 2nd session of Alexander’s yoga classes was just as good as the first. A great continuation of learning yoga for a beginner like me. I can’t wait for session #3! 🙏🏻❤️

I love starting my day with your heart opening classes, I feel like I have proper posture now 😍

Day 2 - Listen To Your Heart

Nothing! You’re perfect. You can stay on your hands and knees for minutes on end and still move slowly and softly back into position with ease. Weeks and months I’ve been at this, and I still collapse from pain not once, not twice but many times and I can’t move my body slowly back into position to save my life. I know you mean well and you say everyone moves at their own pace, but I just end up feeling like a failure. My body might as well be saying to me “I can’t give you what you want no matter how hard/much you try!” I think I’m broken. 😞😔

Another awesome class! Released some tension in my body and mind. Was actually able to get playful and have some fun which is hard for me! So thank you! Looking forward to the next one!

I feel like I can BREATHE So much more! I’ve done wild thing 100s of times but never like this 😍✨ magical, thank you!

Day 3 - Free Your Heart

Session 4 and I’m really starting to get into it and I’m making real progress. Thank you, Alex! ❤️🙏🏻

Camel is the pose my body resists the most so it’s always good to practice it! Love how you teach lengthening the spine.

Day 4 - Love Your Heart

I’m finally starting to master the dreaded Wheel Pose! Thank you, Alex! ❤️🙏🏻🧘🏻‍♂️

After months of practice, I was finally able to complete and hold the wheel pose! Thanks, Alex! 😃

Damn wheel pose! Months of practice and I still can’t do it. Anyway, the instructor, the session and the app were perfect, as usual! Highly recommend! 😊🙏🏻
