Overview

ALEXANDER WEST, Senior Yoga Teacher Yoga Alliance UK. Currently teaching at The Lodge Space in Surrey Quays, The RAC Club in Pall Mall,  London  South Bank University Academy of Sport, Chichester University and The West London Buddhist Centre. I teach retreats, workshops, Yoga Holidays and Postgraduate Yoga Teacher training courses throughout London. 

Qualifications:

-Senior Yoga Teacher, Yoga Alliance. 

-Advanced Qi Gong Instructor, T’ai Chi Union of Great Britain

-Shiatsu Practicioner and Teacher. Zen Shiatsu Society

 My Yoga Teacher Training took place 2001-2003 in an apprenticeship style programme over 2 Years at the West London Yoga Shala under the tutelage of Viryam Robertson, who trained with BKS Iyengar and Zandor Remete. The training included a good grounding in Iyengar, Ashtanga and Shadow styles of Yoga.  The extensive training time combined with my experience as a Holistic Shiatsu practitioner and teacher of Qi Gong has been the bedrock of my unique approach to helping people to increase the quality of life through Yogic exercise. I've also lived in india and South America studying movement arts and work as a film actor, both in the UK, Europe and India. My mother tongue is English and I'm fluent in Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese and am learning Hindi.

My specialisations include teaching Yoga for older adults, advanced Vinyasa classes with a focus on inversions, and Restorative Yin Yoga using the practice and principles of Qi Gong in Yin Yoga to dramatically increase the healing potential of this gentle approach to Yoga. 

Yoga has vast potential as a healing art, and I bring many years of experience as a teacher of Anatomy, Physiology and  Pathology along with the principles of Oriental medicine and 5 Element Theory.

    Alex is an amazing person. First and foremost he is both professional and very caring. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable about yoga but his knowledge of the anatomy and other schools of healing and exercise allows him to tailor exercises to individuals. You will never regret meeting Alex. Nice seen, never forgotten.

    There are many yoga courses where you can learn asanas. Alex West offers much more. Energy work, martial arts and yoga have been a lifetime lifestyle choice for Alex. As a yoga teacher myself I am very choosy about who I train with. Alex has generated energy and knowledge through his practice and has furled an enviable lifestyle. He is down to Earth and pragmatic and has a deep knowledge of the body. I look forward to working with him again.
