About Alexis
Let me tell you about myself and what to expect from me as a yoga teacher:
When I started practicing yoga, I was certainly not living what could be described as a ‘yoga lifestyle’. I had recently arrived in Portugal after teaching English and traveling in Asia and Eastern Europe.
It was 2006, I was in my mid twenties, and I had found the process of launching myself into the world as an adult human quite challenging. I had also found that moving between different countries and partying a lot was a good distraction from this fact, and also quite fun. Unfortunately, this routine was depleting my vital energy and stressing my body, which meant that I felt anxious and overwhelmed a great deal of the time too.
I found that Coimbra was a great place to start over. Cautiously, I began to introduce some healthier habits to my daily life. I mentioned to a friend that I would like to try yoga. She lent me a DVD and I began to practice at home...

Classes with Alexis are just wonderful! The atmosphere is so welcoming and calm, and Alexis's reassuring guidance is easy to follow. The yoga practice will make your body sing! These classes have been a restorative safe haven, helping me find balance, peace and a strong rooting to see me through the week. Thank you, Alexis!

I LOVE the atmosphere; the peace, the space, the presence that you create... I love that you pack a lot of things in, but it never feels hurried; that everything feels doable, but I'm still stretched and challenged; that each week has different exercises (some I've never done before but you explain them well) and is well structured. Your voice is very reassuring. I always come away energised, positive, and ready for life. As well as having "remembered" muscles that I had been neglecting, I feel more mindful in general after the practice. I love it!

Alexis has all the wit, charm and commitment you would expect from someone of her parentage.
