Alexa Mosquera-Rivera

RYT 200

Alexa spent much of her childhood and young adult life living in different states and countries. It was about twelve years ago while she was finishing her undergraduate degree in Belgium that she was first introduced to Yoga. A friend of hers had returned from a trip to India and taught Alexa her first Sun Salutation. Her friend also shared with her the Hare Krishna mantra. It was this simple first act that peaked her curiosity so much that she checked out a book from the university library on Hatha Yoga. After reading the entire book front to back and photocopying it, she set herself on her way to teaching herself the numerous Asanas and Pranayama breathing exercises as were described in the book. Her practice continued steadily for about two years which also included a change in diet. From then until about a year and a half ago her practice continued on and off.

In March of 2009, Alexa felt particularly drawn to practice daily which awakened something in her that seemed to have been dormant for a while-a sense of calm and peace within. In October of 2009 she began taking classes at Atma Bodha Yoga Studio and fell in love with the style of Yoga presented and taught at the studio. She had never been exposed to chanting before and hearing it brought an overwhelming joy in her. She had considered before pursuing a Yoga Teacher Certification and decided that Atma Bodha Yoga Studio was the place for her to complete this. In January 2010 she started the ABY Teacher Training Program and is now certified to teach beginner and intermediate Hatha and Vinyasa Yoga.

Alexa’s wish as a teacher is to be able to share with her students the practice of Yoga in hopes that it can bring a sense of joy and peace in their lives as it has done for her and they in turn can spread that joy and peace with others.
