Alex Ali

Instructor

River Rock Yoga & Pilates

Alex Ali has been a full time yoga teacher for the past 15 years. A graduate from the Kripalu School of Yoga in Massachusetts, he has had the pleasure of teaching and studying yoga in Boston, Asheville, Seattle, Washington, D.C. & New York City. Alex discovered yoga in high school as a way to cope with chronic health issues and support mental wellbeing, and soon realized he’d devote his life to the practice. A lover of movement, Alex has studied a variety of yoga traditions in addition to martial arts, qi-gong, classical ballet and modern dance.    Alex strives to give students “the glow.” His playful approach and disarming sense of humor sets an inclusive tone for both beginning and advanced students. Classes are truly eclectic, focusing on dynamic sequencing, rich breath work and formal postures for longevity and insight. Whether teaching vinyasa flow or restorative yoga, Alex emphasizes the essential connection between your physiology and your neurology. The body is an instrument to potentiate the self for optimal health, compassionate relationships and mindful living.   Off the mat, Alex studies native plant communities and offers garden design solutions based on biodiversity, resilience and ecological restoration. He’s a strong advocate for pollinators, habitat preservation, edible landscaping and a plant-based lifestyle.            ReplyForward
