Overview

Alexa Kho-Hinkson has been developing her personal practice in the Art of Yoga for twenty years, and teaching for sixteen. Always inspired by her Grandmother's Yoga practice, she first stepped onto the mat while studying for her degree at Brunel University, and soon realised when starting full-time work in London that a regular practice was the best thing for her. Having suffered from bouts of anxiety and depression, Yoga gave her the sense of peace that she had always been searching for and she wanted to share this with as many people as she could. Leaving a stressful hedge fund working environment, she decided she wanted to learn to teach Yoga.   

So she ventured to Vrindavan, India for her first teacher-training course in February 2008 where Alexa was named “Ambika” by her teachers, during the 200 Hour Sivananda Yoga Teacher Training course that she successfully completed. Ambika means "the sweet mother of the universe", and with this name she was further inspired to create ‘Ambika Yoga’.

Alexa is a registered Senior Yoga Teacher and RYT500 Teacher with Yoga Alliance Professionals which continues to be at the forefront of Yoga Professionals by independently regulating Yoga within the UK. She has been given awards during her time of teaching for improving NHS Corporate workplaces having taught regularly at the NHS Confederation offices and the NHS Confederation Annual Conference & Exhibition in June 2009 at the Echo Arena in Liverpool, as well as the NHS Employers Annual Conference & Exhibition in 2010 at the ICC in Birmingham. Alexa remains an NHS Approved Practitioner and continues to teach Corporate Yoga classes for NHS Providers since September 2012, in Westminster, Central London and has continued virtually since the Coronavirus pandemic. 

Alexa has been teaching Yoga Retreats across the globe for many years and is highly experienced in offering tailor-made programmes and services to suit and adhere to your needs whether it be a week-long Retreat, or shorter weekend Retreats. Her retreat events can therefore be found at beautiful locations in intimate settings with a sure feel of luxury, delicious cuisine and world-class massage therapists and guests. 

Alexa has also created beautiful Private Yoga programmes for those who are in need of expert 1-1 tuition for chronic, minor and everyday health issues. She has a team of excellent, fully qualified and insured yoga teachers who teach classes across London, and she mentors each teacher individually to ensure that all classes are delivered to the highest possible standard. 

Alexa is fully accredited with Yoga Alliance Professionals as a Senior Yoga Teacher and Yoga Teacher Trainer training teachers from across the UK to learn and understand the application of teaching Therapeutic Yoga. Alexa's training imparts highly in depth, intelligent and experienced knowledge into how health conditions, injuries and mental disorders can be managed through teaching Yoga Therapy to students from all walks of life, and ultimately positively changing the outlook of their lives. 

Alexa has also gained recognition as ‘Yoga Teacher of the Month’, for OM Yoga & Lifestyle magazine and she is also pleased to announce that she is an Ambassador for Luxury Yoga brand M Life UK. In 2016 she had been invited to join the team of practitioners at Health & Wellness Company iamYiam, and is a leading senior teacher in Therapeutic Yoga. Alexa has also written informative articles on the benefits of yoga for Natural Health Magazine.

Alexa loves to deliver high level, informative yoga sessions at popular events in London including leading online sessions at the London Wellbeing Festival in 2021, and in Spring 2022 at Olympia Exhibition Centre in Kensington, London. Alexa is also excited to announce that she is going to delve back into her studies so that she can develop further high level courses to teachers and trainees worldwide, by embarking on a Masters Degree programme in the Traditions of Yoga and Meditation at the prestigious SOAS University of London based in Central London, from September 2022 for three years on a part-time basis. She will continue to teach her classes and clients at the same time as deepening her knowledge and training in the history, philosophy and yoga as a therapeutic tool in the modern world.
