Yoga Helps you live your life in harmony with both yourself and the world around you. For years, people have practiced yoga in the form of movements, breathing, and meditation to keep the body healthy, to relax the mind, and to achieve focus in life. Often we live entirely in our heads and the body is left behind.
In yoga, the body is a powerful tool used to reach inside and reestablish the connection to the inner strength that is hidden in all of us. Alignment is the key to an efficient yoga practice. Proper body alignment is about stacking your bones so your muscles and circulation can work effectively. When your body is in the correct position, you get more benefit from the pose and there is a sense of freedom from within.

Over the past few years I have lived in several different places. Yoga has been a constant for me throughout all of these transitions. I was a competitive dancer throughout my whole life and as I went off to college I changed paths and took up yoga. Through studying to become a chiropractor and getting my YTT certification I was really able to dive into the understanding of the connection of the mind and body - which is truly a beautiful thing.

Yoga is all about relationships - your relationship with yourself, with the people in your life and with the world around you. This makes the yoga path a journey of connection - both internal and external. The Sanskrit root from which the word yoga derives - yuj - means "to yoke", or to connect. Many people think of yoga as either a system of physical exercise or a calming means of escapism from the chaotic world.

Been practicing yoga (not well) for several years and have tried various studios around Virginia Beach, Alex is by far the most patient and helpful instructor I've had. She helps you understand why you need to make various adjustments instead of just telling you to move, plus the extra classes she offers have been fun and enlightening!

I had 0 yoga experience before working with Alex. I heard about her from a friend of mine who had worked with her for years. She offers competitive private instruction packages if you need a little extra help (like me). She also has a variety of group classes that range from beginner to experience-required. She is very patient and very understanding if you have certain difficulties and will work with you to maximize the experience.
