“I am a 200hr certified yoga teacher, but felt my sequencing was getting stagnant and uninspired. I signed up for Advanced Teacher Training, led by Alexis, and she totally helped me in more ways than one! Not only was I motivated to write out new sequences, but she also gave me the tools to tweak them, so I didn’t have to start from scratch every week. There were other students in the course, and she was so good at catering to our individual needs and helped guide each of us in the way we needed it. The joy and excitement of teaching yoga shines through Alexis, and I’m so thankful to her for it!”
— Sheena“Before working together, I was immature and when something didn't land I felt a little embarrassed by it. Throughout our time I learned how to believe in myself by following Alexis’ example. I learned how to trust myself to make changes, and believe they would work, and they did. Alexis has mastered the three main things that make a great yoga teacher. In my opinion they are balance in sequencing, clarity in cueing, and adaptability. I've grown in all three of those areas thanks to her help. Alexis walks the walks and instead of merely sharing what ought to work, she shows up and shows me that it does work. If you've ever sequenced in a pose but got nervous to try it because you weren't confident you could get the students into it smoothly, then Alexis has something to offer you. If you struggle with balancing your sequences or trusting yourself, then Alexis has something to offer you.”
— Paul“Alexis helped me to believe in my potential as a teacher and to peel away some of the thought patterns that tend to hold me back from my full potential, both in yoga and in everyday life. Her teaching and her writing have helped me see that some of my preconceived notions about being a yoga teacher were based on false assumptions and she empowered me to find confidence, voice, authority and a sense of being comfortable in my own skin. This is a work in progress since I'm still very early in my yoga teaching journey, but I am grateful to have Alexis as a role model, guide, and inspiration for what I value and the kind of teacher I hope to become - that rather than fitting into a mold of what a teacher 'should' be, I can find my greatest strengths in myself and allow those to help me carve out who I am and what I can offer as a teacher.”

“I’ve taken 2 advanced trainings with Alexis one for hot power fusion and one for power yoga In ATP for HPF I needed more guidance in theming and more self confidence in voice and teaching - in ATP for power yoga I was feeling unclear how to proceed with moving on from teaching a beginner yoga series to more advanced sequences. Alexis always showed up for us - prepared with information, listened and answered questions and gave helpful feedback- “Glow’s and Grow’s. I feel more confident in my voice, teaching skills and developing who I am as a teacher! I feel that Alexis was able to guide me with my goals - with compassion, knowledge as well as gentle nudging / challenging us, having confidence in our skills!”

“Alexis has an incredible ability to balance structure with compassion. Her guidance was clear, grounded, and encouraging, while still allowing space for exploration and personal growth. She offered perspective without imposing, asked the right questions, and created a supportive environment where learning felt empowering rather than intimidating.I gained a deeper sense of confidence and trust in myself as a teacher. I approach my classes with more clarity, intention, and ease, and I feel more grounded in my decision-making. Alexis helped me refine my skills while also honoring my individuality, which has had a lasting impact on how I teach and lead. Alexis creates a space that is supportive, thoughtful, and deeply respectful of your journey. If you’re seeking mentorship that is both professional and heart-led, this experience is incredibly valuable.”
— Jack“Before working with Alexis, I was navigating my personal life experiences (the good, bad, and the ugly, we are human!) I lost my personal identity, and loss in other ways all at once. I didn’t have a community or consistency of checking in with MY OWN self, and others. Alexis worked with me on finding my voice. The power it holds by empowering and building confidence within myself. This has allowed me to be my authentic self so I can share my experiences on and off the mat and hopefully inspire or motivate another human and make them feel safe and supported, for ALL mental and physical states. I’ve learned to protect my peace and set boundaries. My ability to speak and teach to students is a miracle in itself! I can only control myself and the way I act/react and allowing myself the space and time to fully process what I’m feeling in certain moments to find clarity and my mind calm.”
