A little about Alex...
I'm a yoga teacher, wholesome food advocate and mother. I've been bringing cultures and people together throughout my world travels and teaching. Born in Europe, raised in South America and the United States I bring a global view in both teaching style and in accessibility.
Yoga and meditation are my way of bringing awareness, loving kindness, abate the causes of suffering and bring a sense of community to my students. I've created, "Big Love Yoga" which emphasizes the cross-cultural accessibility of yoga for all body shapes and mindsets, regardless of limitations. I foster a compassionate environment in which students can learn what is important and true to their own body and mind, whether that be physical strength, mental calmness or something more.
I'm a member of The International Association of Yoga Therapists, Yoga Alliance certified and I have experience in various forms of yoga including restorative, Anusara, vinyasa, therapeutics, meditation and most recently in Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy. I received a BA in English from the University of Michigan and a JD from Washington University School of Law. Based out of San Diego, California I teach public classes and have a thriving private practice. When not in town I can be found leading and teaching international retreats or practicing belly-laughing therapy with locals. ♥

My Philosophy
I advocate a non-harming yoga practice in order to be at peace with ourselves both mind and body. I support people of all sizes and abilities. My aim is to:
- Respect body diversity
- Advocate for compassionate Self-care
- Help you find joy in your body
- Challenge scientific and cultural assumptions
- And most important I value YOUR body knowledge and experiences
