Your Lead Instructor

Meet Alex — Our Yin Teacher

Alex has a profound interest in the biomechanics of the body and the dynamic flow of energy within. During her studies in Nutritional Therapy, she felt a strong calling to deepen her practice in India. There, she studied yoga under the esteemed Yogarishi Vishvaketu at Anand Prakash Ashram in Rishikesh. This transformative experience inspired Alex to integrate holistic yoga and meditation into her life and pursue it as a career.

Her unquenchable curiosity about the human body led her to further studies in various yoga styles, as well as Mat and Reformer Pilates with Polestar Pilates International. Additionally, she explored Zen meditation under the guidance of Mark Togni on the Gold Coast.

As Alex continues to expand her knowledge, her passion for guiding others to trust their intuition and evolve into their best selves grows daily. .

Alex also plays a key role in facilitating Ritual’s Yoga Teacher Training courses, sharing her deep knowledge of biomechanics, yoga, and meditation to inspire the next generation of instructors.
