The Teacher
The course is created and delivered by Alex Yogi our expert instructor with over 15 years of teaching experience in Yoga, Yogic Philosophy and Meditation.
A truly passionate and dedicated Yogi, Alex began his journey into Yoga 20 years ago when he began to question the state of consciousness in the modern world - feeling the essence of something divine present but not seeing this manifested in the values and actions of those around him, he started his search for Truth.
Alex found his teacher in a master yogi who was offering knowledge of inner power through the teachings of Yoga. He then spent the next 5 years dedicated only to his practice, living in solitude and isolation, studying scriptures, and practicing meditations which helped him to realize his purpose and enabled him to release limiting and destructive mindsets. Alex later received spiritual initiation from his master and started sharing the knowledge of self-realized yogis along with his own experience and insights received during his apprenticeship, years of daily meditations, and immersions into a wide range of yogic practices. He is sure that this precious knowledge must be preserved and aims to share the essence of Yoga as it was traditionally taught to help people realize the ultimate truth.
