About Alex

Alex Bollag has been studying and teaching Yoga for the past fifteen years. She has had the pleasure of teaching at Canada’s leading Yoga studios, teaching around the world as well as creating a ground breaking Yoga program for Sheena’s Place, a non for profit organization for eating disorders in Toronto. Her initial Yoga Teacher training was at “The Yoga Studio” in Toronto and she has since studied with many master teachers including Restorative Yoga with Judith Lasater and Therapeutic Yoga with Susi Hately.  She also brings to her classes an in depth knowledge of The Alexander Technique, Pilates and Laban Movement Theory, which she studied at Smith College and Yale University. Currently she is training to be an ITM Alexander Teacher under Dr. Don Weed.

Alex has a sound knowledge of body mechanics and a unique ability to analyze  Yoga poses and movement. Her classes are engaging, relaxing, fun and full of relevant information. She is passionate about teaching Yoga postures in a manner that is safe and accessible for all fitness levels and body types. She believes in tailoring a Yoga practice to the needs of the individual and making the practice as easy and enjoyable as possible.
 As a keen rider Alex has a personal knowledge of how the discipline of Yoga can help riders.
 

When you have been riding and taking lessons for as long as I have finding someone who can help you make dramatic progress is exiting, and that is exactly what my Yoga lessons with Alex have done for my riding. The combination of the slow, meditative quality of Yoga and Alex’s astute ability to observe movements helped me become aware of and learn how to let go of tension while riding. This shift has had a huge and immediate impact on my riding , even after my first yoga lesson. My horse has responded to these changes beautifully and actually seems to have become more flexible as well in response to me. My lessons have become a joy of making progress again. Thank you!

Alex Bollag is a wonderful yoga teacher. Her quiet, gentle instructions inspire confidence and her detailed explanations of how the body works and how to work with my body have enabled me to develop my skills and begin to create balance in my life.  It is amazing that even the most basic and mundane explanations regarding yoga poses resonate to the spiritual level and I find myself processing what Alex has taught me throughout the week. Studying yoga with Alex is one of the best  decisions I  ever made.
