Alexandria Waycott is a Canadian Yoga Educator who has been teaching for over 14 years. Her work focuses primarily on supporting yoga teachers through 200-hour yoga teacher trainings, and continuing education for those looking to refine their skills. She holds an E-RYT 500 designation and is recognized by Yoga Alliance as a Continuing Education Provider.

Known for her clear, precise teaching style, Alexandria loves to share creative vinyasa practices paired with inspiring themes and playlists. Her academic background in English Literature and Professional Communications informs her interest in helping teachers develop effective verbal cues.

Alexandria’s approach to teaching is holistic and informed by a variety of lineages. Rather than subscribing to a single method, she values a non-dogmatic perspective where one recognizes there are many valid ways to experience yoga. As her career has evolved, Alexandria has become increasingly dedicated to supporting yoga teachers. She specializes in continuing education programs that focus on areas such as Ayurveda for yoga teachers, skillful class sequencing, yoga history and philosophy, and the art of effective verbal cueing.

She is also the host of Yoga Insider Podcast, an educational resource for yoga teachers around the world. When she’s not traveling to teach, Alexandria offers weekly classes for her community and leads 200-hour yoga teacher trainings in British Columbia, Canada.

Influences:

The foundation of my teaching philosophy is rooted in alignment-based hatha yoga, shaped by the universal principles of Anusara Yoga. My early development was guided by the mentorship of Daniel Clement and profoundly influenced by my formative years practicing with Christie Weightman.

The way I teach vinyasa yoga is informed by the Prana Flow methodology within the lineage of Shiva Rea, as taught by Clara Roberts-Oss. This approach lends itself to a creative approach to sequencing that feels fluid and rhythmic.

My work extends across both adaptive and high-performance environments. For years, I taught chair yoga for older adults, supported programs with BC Blind Sports, worked privately with clients experiencing traumatic brain injuries, and provided private instruction to professional athletes, including NHL hockey players. These experiences continue to inform a teaching approach that is responsive to individual needs.

Alongside these influences, I have spent time studying Iyengar Yoga, Katonah Yoga, Anusara Yoga, Ashtanga, yin, and restorative practices.
