Alix began her study of yoga as a teenager, when her mom brought her to her first yoga class after discovering she had scoliosis. She draws from her own experience of finding balance in her body and mind to compassionately assist others on their own unique path of healing and discovery.
A student for over twenty years, Alix has been teaching yoga since 2007. She is registered with the Yoga Alliance at the 500 hour level, completing 300 hours of training with her teachers Tias and Surya Little of Prajna Yoga based in Sante Fe, New Mexico. She received her Yoga for Scoliosis Teacher Trainer certification with Elise Miller in September of 2016, and continues to study yoga for back care and scoliosis with Deborah Wolk from NYC.
As a licensed massage therapist, Alix brings a deep understanding of anatomy and alignment into her teaching and hands on adjustments. Her classes combine elements of meditative practice from various traditions with yoga and conscious movement, with intention of bringing mindfulness into into the yoga experience on and off the mat.
Alix is based in Portland, Oregon and offers group classes, private sessions, and workshops specializing in yoga therapeutics and back care. She spends her free time exploring the outdoors, traveling, gardening, cooking, playing music, and lying in savasana.
