Alex Artymiak

Background:

Alex is a yoga, meditation, and breathwork 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 these abilities reflect a deeper and more powerful shift taking place within. Alex sees meditation and yoga as energetic practices that manifest in the physical body. This philosophy shines through his practice and teaching style. In his classes, Alex speaks to awareness and feeling as much as technique and form, intuitively guiding you to explore greater depths. Since his first teacher training in 2011, Alex chose to dedicate his life to studying meditation and yoga and 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 or cushion. His classes will leave you feeling clear, connected, and empowered to shine your light for yourself and everyone around you.
