ALEXIS BROWN
Alexis started her yoga journey at the age of 16 with a mat and nothing else. Dedicated and driven by focus she put herself through yoga teacher training at Mount Madonna Institute at the age of 17. Right away she found a love and passion for leading, guiding, learning and teaching others.
Having her own yoga business, Beyond the Mat, Alexis found a deep connection with the intimacy of small private and a one on one yoga practice sessions. Alexis also enjoys teaching larger yoga classes with a focus mainly on pranayama (breathing exercises), the practice of moving with the breath and the anatomy of the body. Alexis specializes in Vinyasa Flow (strong, or gentle) alignment based and functional yoga, beginners classes, handstand prep, and restorative.
