Alex is a yoga, meditation, and breath-work teacher based in Santa Monica, California. Though he started his yoga journey seeking strength, balance, and flexibility as a way to improve his surfing skills, he soon realized that yoga ignited in him a deep and powerful internal shift.

Since his first teacher training in 2011, Alex chose to dedicate his life to studying yoga. He has since taught over 5,000 classes, led retreats around the world, and lectured on yogic philosophy and meditation in teacher trainings. His philosophy, “keep your spine long, your breath strong, and your mind on,” is a formula for presence and clarity on and off the mat.

Angel is a mental health advocate, yoga teacher, cult survivor, storyteller, and creator of The Process by Angel, which uses guided self-inquiry to stimulate brain development. She is passionate about helping others improve their self-confidence by identifying where their self-limiting beliefs come from and teaching them how to create new thought algorithms that allow them to move forward.

Angel lives and works in Los Angeles as a yoga teacher and wellness consultant, and when she's not buried deep in The Process, you’ll probably find her on a mountaintop in the Sierras or in a Japanese restaurant.
