NATURE is my Healer. LOVE is my Voice. BREATH is my Teacher. And EARTH is my Strength. 

Alexis focuses on awakening the power of breath in her classes. Becoming mindful to one’s breath initiates the awakening of the senses, connecting breath with body, with heart, with mind, with soul.

Fitness has been an important part of Alexis’ life for over 30 years. She started out as a fitness and personal trainer, then competed in marathons and triathlons, while adding yoga to increase her focus, strength, and her mind-body connection. She is a seeker of yogi philosophy and continues to deepen her spiritual practice.

In her professional life, she owned and operated a business and financial coaching business. Her other past professional experiences include a Managing Director and Financial Planner at her own financial firm, and founder and business advisor at Blue Sky Strategy where she helped small business owners with financial projections, business planning, and strategic planning. Along with many years in the corporate money management world.

When not practicing yoga, she is going on long walks with her husband and dogs, writing poetry, and working in their fruit orchard. She also volunteers her time and skills with the cat and dog animal shelter El Refugio Costa Ballena (she is the Vice President and social media writer). Her favorite place is anywhere in nature, where the breath and senses thrive.
