Alex Alberti
Alex began his yoga journey in 2019, initially using a mobile app and attending vinyasa classes at a corporate gym to improve his flexibility and jiu-jitsu skills. Already familiar with meditation as a tool for managing anxiety and depression, he discovered deeper connections through yoga’s breathwork and movement. His dedication grew after joining a home studio in California, where he practiced for four years. In 2023, Alex completed a 200-hour teacher training via Zoom just after relocating to Asheville. His training was influenced by the teachings of Sri Dharma Mittra, as the studio owner connected him with Pam, a mentor from this lineage who was teaching at the Asheville Yoga Center. This connection made the center quickly feel like home for Alex, deepening his engagement with the local yoga community. Teaching yoga allows Alex to foster a sacred union, supporting personal growth and self-realization among his students. His favorite yoga pose is sirsasana (headstand), which teaches him about meditative states, personal limitations, and the importance of gentleness and acceptance.
