About
Alexis recently moved from Seattle and is so happy to call the island of Oahu her new home, she has been practicing yoga strongly for 9 years (teaching 7 years). She'd say for a life time... Yoga found her, but waitedtill she found the passio to share it with you! When she was a child she was always stretching and folding into awkward poses without even knowing the whole time she was doing yoga! As she got older she became inspired with dancing which led her into a more active lifestyle.
When Alexis finally came across into her journey of yoga she fell in love with how amazing, beautiful and powerful yoga was to the mind, body, heart and soul! She was finding every way to share this feeling with friends and family inviting them to join and get their own enriched feelings with their own practice... Seeing how happy people were after their practice she took her passion to the next level and became certified.
Her passion to heal and share yoga has grown within the military community, Alexis has a family history from her grandpa and others being veterans and seeing the fight and passion they give to our country she wants to give back and support their mental, emotional and health wellness with yoga! She is certified with Warriors At Ease (WAE), a training program that has a mission to bring the healing power of yoga and meditation to military communities around the world, especially those affected by combat stress, trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). With her WAE and Yoga certifications she focusses on the healing and wellness of military veterans and families. She has teamed up with organizations in Hawaii like Wounded Warrior Project, Team RWB Honolulu, Tripler Army Medical Center, West Oahu Vet Center, Meaghan’s Foundation and Mission Continues to help reach out and provide yoga healing to veterans and family.
Alexis has also worked with several clothing companies for community yoga events and recently traveled to Vancouver BC to help assist Eoin Finn with the grand opening of Lululemon on Robson Street. She also was a Wanderlust Whistler Yoga Presenter (teacher) for the 2014 Whistler tour and is also a partof the Wanderlust Whistler Festival in 2015. She’s been blessedto say with yoga she’s accomplished so many goals and dreams one major dream was to be able to teach in her favorite place Hawaii, she taught at the beautiful Kalani Resort in 2014 and is excited to be invited back for 2017!
She instructs multiple styles of yoga and she's been fortunate to work with multiple athletes to help better their performance and recover quicker. She recently worked with a few Offensive linemen from the NFL Seattle Seahawks and has worked with one of the largest, and most traditional, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu organizations in the world Gracie Barra.
