Alexis' Practice & Teaching
A Life of Balance
Alexis Rae has been a certified and practicing Yoga Instructor since 2016. The foundation of her practice combines the physical with an inner emotional and spiritual journey. By integrating body, breath, movement, and meditative awareness, she strives to promote an understanding of the interdependency of all these aspects in personal health and wellbeing.
Alexis is a free-spirited gypsy goddess, born and raised on an island in Maine (USA). She received her first Yoga Teaching certification in Ubud Bali for 300 hours in 2016. In 2017 She went to Dubai for her second teacher training of 200 hours. She's passionate about traveling and raising consciousness with the intention of transforming and bettering the planet. Her deep connection with nature is an evident part of her being and shines through her teaching. You will be welcomed with a big smile and a warm heart. Alexis creates an atmosphere to inspire you to unveil your truest self: pose by pose & breath by breath opening up like the jewel of the lotus flower. She weaves her love of unique new age elements to practice such as goddess oracle cards, essential oils, Tibetan singing bowls, fully charged crystals, incense, and self made smudge sticks into her classes. Expect strong aspects of self-transformation, affirmations, powerful pranayama and breath work, chi flow, vinyasa and yin yoga with guided relaxations and meditations in savasana. Alexis’ class is always a one-of-a-kind experience that will leave you feeling lighter in your heart and more grounded in your truth.

People often ask me how Yoga can benefit their lives. I tell them how it has influenced my own lifestyle, but emphasize that it impacts different people in different ways. Read what my satisfied clients thought about their own personal experiences and feel free to check out my classes for yourself.
Alexis is by far the best yoga teacher I have ever had the pleasure of practicing with. I have gone to my fair share of classes, and let me tell you... whether you are new to yoga or you've been practicing for years, Alexis is able to challenge you, reassure you, and make sure you have an overall amazing experience. You will feel instantly welcomed, excited, and relaxed all at the same time just by being in her presence (or maybe I'm just creepy but I seriously LOVE her). I love that she always ensures her students are linking their breath to each movement, and she is so helpful with adjustments and guiding you along if you are struggling with a pose. The ambiance she creates with lighting, oils, and sounds is unlike any other yoga experience I've had. The energy she brings to the room is undeniable and inspiring. If she taught classes every single day of the week I would go to them. Basically, this sounds like a huge love letter to her (which it is) but seriously, if you love yoga and are looking to further your practice in any way, you need to try one of her classes!

I really enjoy Alexis’ classes. I’ve practiced with her here in Dubai on several occasions. Her sequences are well planned and over all very relaxing. I really love the hands on adjustments and the guided relaxation and meditation in savasana. Alexis is well suited to teach any style of yoga fitting all of your needs. I especially enjoy the gentle hatha classes since I’ve had my beautiful baby. When I’m feeling firey she takes me to the next level with her empowerment flow class. She reminds her students to continuously link breath with movement. She incorporates readings from the sages patanjali and others throughout the class. Which help remind me what yoga is all about. If you have the opportunity to book one of Alexis’ private classes or attend one at the studio jump on it! She’s a teacher you don’t want to miss.

I met Alexis, during a month long an intensive yoga teacher training in Bali. Alexis is a beautiful person with magnanimous energy and deep reverence for nature, sacred studies and the human experience. This is paired with immense passion, curiosity and zest for positive, meaningful living. She brings this cosmology of outer and inner discovery to her yoga classes. Her flow is well studied but also highly intuitive and creative. She has traveled the world and participated in courses in Bali and Dubai in addition to her home country. These experiences transfer lovingly from her heart and soul to each student. I so enjoyed her invigorating expression of yoga, fabulous playlists and wonderfully deep soulful and soothing savasanas. Her lessons are a wonderfully embodying gift. I highly recommend practicing with her and transforming yourself through her teachings. She may also invite you to eat dessert first and follow your bliss with food, fitness and life!

The first time I walked into Alexis’s class it was like being greeted by an old friend. Though we had never met she welcomed me with open arms and even introduced me to the other classmates. What keeps me coming back to her classes is her teaching style that's full of personality and the classes are always filled with positive energy and belly laughs. She empowers you as she walks around and assists you with adjustments, and helps you get into inversions. I always leave her class refreshed and feeling like a goddess.
-Krissy
My fiancé and I booked one of Alexis’ private yoga classes. From the moment we stepped on our mats, we could feel the fun but calm energy Alexis brought to the practice. Alexis lead us through a energetic and total body flow, complete with perfectly attuned and personalized adjustments, fun balances, core work and gentle inversions. We laughed, meditated and breathed together for a blissful hour of yoga. Also her playlists are pretty fricken sweet!
-Kate Hanrahan
I was able to take one of Alexis' private yoga classes. I was accustomed to large yoga classes where I felt I was rushing through poses and wasn't getting a mental benefit. This session felt different. Because of her gentle approach to teaching and clear instructions, I was able to achieve a more meditative mental state while still getting a good workout. There was a good rhythm of breathing and movements, and the level of exertion was just right. I would highly recommend her class!
-Ben Erskine
I have had the privilege of attending multiple yoga classes led by Alexis. Her qualifications and background are represented in each and every step of her classes. She possesses outstanding knowledge in yoga, meditation, nutrition and overall wellness. She puts enormous effort to each class she teaches and her primary objective is to always make sure each student is comfortable and progressing throughout the class, regardless of their level of expertise. Her adjustments both verbal and physical are always on point at the right time, which is great for the confidence of your practice as a student. I would recommend anyone, either advanced or new to the world of yoga, to take a class led by Alexis if/when they have the chance.
Whether it is at the local yoga studio or the privacy of your home, Alexis is always very accommodating with the requests of her students.

I really enjoy Alexis-Rae’s yoga classes. She has helped me build my practice by showing me how to modify poses that are difficult for me, so I can increase flexibility and strength. Alexis-Rae’s positive and confident approach to guiding students is very encouraging, and her clear and thoughtful explanations are effective and easy to follow. Alexis-Rae makes a very nice connection with everyone in class, regardless of their fitness or skill level. I appreciate her focus on breath work and this has really helped improve my practice. I feel that I get everything out of Alexis-Rae’s classes that I hope to in my yoga practice, including a wonderful guided relaxation in savasana. Also, her use of essential oils is a nice treat, and I’ve added this to my practice at home. I look forward to continuing to practice with Alexis-Rae. She’s a wonderful teacher, and her classes are great!
-Barbra Weir
I have taken several of Alexis’s yoga classes and would recommend them to everyone! In fact I do recommend them to everyone! I love Alexis’s classes because she creates such a wonderful atmosphere. I always leave her classes feeling both physically and mentally 100 times better. Alexis emphasizes what an amazing yoga class should be. I look forward to taking more of her classes in the future!
-Jenni Brouwer
Alexis is a fabulous yoga instructor. She knows how to structure a class that is safe and builds up to a peak pose, but most importantly, she knows how to connect with her students. She is kindhearted to the core and her smile is genuine and contagious. I always left feeling more empowered, connected, and happier.
-Nicole Fahey
Alexis-Rae's presence radiates warmth, quiet strength and love. Her yoga classes are well-paced, and structured to build skills and confidence for her students. Her hands-on adjustments are gentle, encouraging and effective. I very much enjoy practicing with her and happily recommend her classes to anyone seeking an active, joyous yoga experience.
-Margaret Remmen
Some of my favorite yoga classes are with the lovely goddess Alexis, including her first one here in Maine. The most special thing about Alexis's way of teaching is that you will leave the class feeling empowered and ready to take the world over. She has a way with blending the perfect amount of oracle readings, incense and essential oils into her class that it feels like it's a yoga class held just for you.
-Jessica Bowdidge
First class I've taken with Alexis but it was fantastic, great energy & fun flow! She helped me correct the poses with adjustments. I felt empowered and supported for the entire hour. She is an amazing instructor, very knowledgeable, authentic and spiritual. I love her teaching style! Looking forward to her next class. NAMASTE!
