Community-minded yoga education and training based in the Fraser Valley.

Meet Alexandria

Hi, I’m Alex! Thanks for stopping by. I’ve been a yoga teacher for twelve years now. If we want to get “official”, I’m an E-RYT 500 yoga teacher, Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider, and the proud owner of Satya Yoga Training Academy, where I certify aspiring yoga teachers at the 200-hour level.

My interest in yoga can be traced back to my upbringing in a home that embraced diverse spiritualities, thanks to my mom. From the age of 5, I found solace in yoga and meditation, especially during challenging and adverse experiences - many that I am still learning to articulate. I practically leaped from high school into the world of teaching yoga and taught just about everywhere you can imagine.

Amidst this, I pursued academics, earning two university degrees and even working full-time in a university. However, I realized that my purpose and happiness were in sharing what I had been doing all along - yoga! My academic background, surprisingly, plays a key role in the work I do, especially when I crafted the entire curriculum for my 200-hour yoga teacher training.

I’ve been lucky to have some wonderful yoga teachers over the years who have had a profound impact on the way I share yoga with my community, namely, Daniel Clement, Christie Weightman, and Clara Roberts-Oss.

Currently, my primary focus revolves around nurturing my community through weekly yoga classes in the Fraser Valley. Simultaneously, my commitment extends to delivering top-notch education for current and aspiring yoga teachers.


My Core Values

Cultivating Community

I love bringing people together to share space and feel supported! I do this by offering weekly yoga classes here in the Fraser Valley, as well as through providing yoga teacher training for small groups.

Authenticity

I am committed to staying true to the roots of yoga by honoring them to the very best of my ability. Yoga has been commodified in so many ways, and I’m here for the people who are in it for the long haul - there is no “quick fix” on this path.

Leading Through Knowledge

Education and yoga are lifelong endeavors. I’m committed to education and professional development, and my goal is to continue supporting other teachers through continuing education.
