Find Health and Balance Through the Practice of Yoga. As a Certified Yoga Therapist, I offer small group and private Yoga Therapy Sessions. Yoga Therapy Sessions can: Address Imbalances in the Physical Body- This might include getting out of physical pain, building strength, improving balance, recovery from an injury, or Postpartum recovery. Address mental and emotional imbalances including Anxiety, Depression and trauma. These sessions will include coaching on practices such as Meditation, Mantra and Breathwork (Pranayama). Help Establish Self Care Routines- this would include determining the best practices for your individual health needs.
"It's always reassuring to have your listening ear, your thoughtful feedback, and your “unpacking” questions. I always come away from our Yoga Therapy sessions feeling uplifted and encouraged to go forward with my best efforts, and mindfulness in all that I do. Thank you again for all you share with me, and for your peaceful presence/aura that permeates all you do."
My session with you was very good for me. It helped me to further clarify how vata and pitta energies operate in my body.
Alexis is a wonderful yoga teacher, accessible to those new to yoga or to those wanting to continue or extend a practice. During the time I have done yoga with Alexis, she has grown as a teacher and now offers yoga therapy and yoga nidra. Although I have not done therapy with Alexis, she brings this knowledge to every class and makes modifications if someone has any part of the body needing special attention. In yoga nidra, Alexis guides participants through a deeply relaxing experience in a nurturing environment. I always feel better after a class and highly recommend her as a teacher.
Teaching with a deep grasp of both ancient yoga practices & everyday, practical application, Alexis gives guidance that is compassionate & uniquely catered to the student. She listens & really cares about finding the right balance of stretching & strengthening, relaxing & exercising, and encourages self-knowledge. One leaves her yoga therapy sessions feeling empowered with the awareness of the interrelated nature of breath & body, inspired, hopeful & renewed curiosity for personal growth & healing.
Alexis teaches because she truly wants to help people connect with their bodies & heal naturally. She is so committed to offering her skills to the community, she goes above & beyond to find the right resources & techniques for each unique person. She meets people where they are, & in the most non-judgmental & welcoming ways!
“I just finished a yoga therapy session with Alexis and I feel so refreshed and alive! Alexis is a clear and inspired guide for deep embodiment, listening and stretching. I felt some real opening around an injury in my hip. I loved it so much. It was a gift that I plan to do again.”
