Lex
is a Londoner who now lives
in Palolem, keeping the locals,
expats and travelers 'yoga balanced'
during the long monsoon months
and the busy season. He is
accredited by the Yoga Alliance
and has been practicing yoga
for 10 years.
Although Lex has studied
with many teachers, he thinks
of Yogi Ram of Rishikesh and
Don and Amber Stapleton of
The Nosara Yoga Institute
in Costa Rica (formerly of
Kripalu) as his main influences;
the former being a very traditional
Hatha Guru from the foothills
of the Himalayas and the latter,
teachers of interdisciplinary
yoga (a blend of Vinyasa,
Yin, Faldenkrais, Somatics,
Iyengar and Ashtanga).
His classes incorporate all
traditions within a Vinyasa
flow context. Open to both
beginners and experienced
students, Lex believes it
is very important for the
individual student to make
each asana an expression of
their own body type and state
of mind, encouraging the body
to let go through a combination
of breath and awareness.
An accredited hypnotherapist,
Lex has a special interest
in Yoga Nidra (Yogic Sleep)
which is a mixture of relaxation
and deep observational awareness
of the body and mind. He incorporates
this practice into his asana
instruction and has been known
to induce states of deep inner
silence in his students during
sivasana.
"Yoga is yoga. We learn
from each other. The experience
of learning cannot be considered
entirely successful until
the student takes what they
have learnt and makes it their
own - an expression of the
entirety of the self".
