AM V200 - JAN 2022
Miami Beach, FL, USA 🌎
I’m Lex! I was born and raised in Southern California, but have lived all over in my short 27 years. From Austin Texas where my daughter was born, to a little tiny seaside town outside of Seattle. I now in live in Miami Beach, Florida with my husband, 8 year old daughter, and our cat Kimchi. I am proudly Autistic and chose to become a yoga teacher so that I could create a welcoming yoga environment for others like me! I was drawn to yoga as a teen and have been practicing seriously for about 5-6 years now. I completed my 200 Hr YTT at the beginning of 2022 with Authentic Movements and am excited to start teaching!
Reflecting on the AM YTT Experience
| Why did you choose Authentic Movements for your YTT? | |
| I have been following Steph and Erin on IG since I first started taking yoga seriously. They have always inspired me and my practice and when I saw an opportunity to receive my teacher training from them I jumped at the chance! I can’t imagine getting my education elsewhere! I hope to even be able to come back and get my 300 HR training from them as well! | |
| How did the online training platform work for you? | |
| It worked wonderfully for me! As a busy mom who homeschools, it would have been a few years before I could even think of doing a training any other way. It gave me the flexibility that I needed for my daughter, and was super accessible to me personally as an Autistic woman who can get overwhelmed easily in unfamiliar situations. | |
| What was your favorite part of the course content? | |
| My favorite parts were the Zazen Meditations with Mr. Kim and the anatomy lessons! Ok also Bianca’s restorative classes, they always put me in the best most relaxed mood! | |
