Alexa Garside

Yoga for everyone

Monthly Memberships

Hi there...

My name is Alexa and I have been teaching Yoga, Qigong, philosophy, and anatomy since 2007 now. I have run studios, teacher training, and retreats and am passionate and enthusiastic about my job!

I love studying eastern medicine and philosophy and combining theories with western science to build a bigger picture and varied approach to wellbeing. This means my teaching draws from many backgrounds. I have studied science and philosophy for many years and love to share what I have learned with my students.

I also like to have fun and create a welcoming environment for everyone from all backgrounds and with all body types! This website aims to bring you a range of live and pre-recorded content to help you stay fit, healthy, and happy.

I am very involved in keeping in touch with my students and welcome questions, requests, and collaborations. Please feel free to get in touch with any questions or queries you might have! I believe we can build an international community where everyone feels welcome and cared for.

Alexa is so knowledgeable and empathetic. I always feel happier, stronger and healthier after her classes. Her warm sense of humor is also very healing!

Alexa is an energetic, lighthearted and incredibly fun instructor. Her classes are diverse and accessible, and I always feel great after. She clearly has a deep understanding of these practices and is passionate about sharing what she knows!

The first day I met Alexa she was instructing a class at One Yoga, and greeted me with a big smile and positive energy. The second time she greeted me with a hug. She is not only an excellent teacher but a wonderful person and friend to everyone. I attend her yoga classes weekly and don’t know what I would do without them in my life. They are filled with beautiful philosophies, elements of nature and of course the best jokes. I have learned so much from Alexa and would recommend her classes to anyone. ❤️

Alexa is the most inspirational fitness teacher; both her Yoga and Fight Club online classes are amazing - and great value for money. She brings a brilliant energy, professionalism and fun to all she teaches and has a gift for making everyone feel special and included. Her classes bring a magic into all her students’ lives, creating a unique community we all feel part of. We are really lucky to have her!

I LOVE Alexa's yoga classes! She is the absolute best combination of someone who knows yoga inside and out but doesn't take herself too seriously. I love how she has always given me the confidence to practice yoga, as someone who has never thought they were 'flexible' enough, Alexa always makes a point to remind us that its 'not about that'. As well as all of that, she is a lovely person, kind and generous and if you ever get a chance to go on one of her retreats, do! - Jo Jo

Alexa is amazing! She has the ability to combine the spiritual side of yoga with incredible in depth knowledge in human anatomy, and physical and biological processes. She has a back catalogue of classes which are each beatifully thought out to cover a specific theme; times of the year, parts of the body, or physical or mental health issues, whilst also including a health dose of humour and fun (also sometimes cats <3).

In my 10 years of attending exercises classes (online and virtual - Apple Fitness / Peloton / Nike), PT sessions, run coaches and gyms Alexa has always been and will always be my favourite instructor. She’s down to earth, accommodating for all levels, fun, engaging and doesn’t take any of it too seriously. If your looking for a way to move your body and feel good about yourself without the typical fitness industry bullsh*t this is exactly the membership you need.

This is a short Qigong sequence to nourish the earth element (late summer) and the fire element (early summer). The fire element correlates to the Heart, small intestine, pericardium and triple heater meridian lines, helping to balance the hearts energy so it burns brightly but steadily. The heart is the most important organ and needs tranquility, joy and a steady flame. The earth element correlates to the stomach and spleen, helping us to digest life and cultivate good intentions and thoughts. With a balanced earth element we are more empathetic, steady and can hold our ground through lifes challenges. The heart is the sun and the stomach is the earth! This sequence consists of the earths mudra at the start, a twisting form for the stomach and spleen, pushing the hands up and down for the stomach and spleen, the five elements heart form, and drawing the bow and arrow for the heart at the end.
Last weeks' live Vinyasa flow for you to try... it's a beautiful and fun sequence that'll relax and open your spine, awakening your energy levels for spring! Please enjoy and come and join my online community www.notyouraverageyoga.com for live and recorded sessions with varying price ranges to suit your budget. Much Love to all, Alexa xxx #yogaforeveryone #yogaforbackpain #backpain #creativemovement #vinyasaflowclass #fullyogaclass #liveyoga
