Meet Your Instructor

Alvin Johnson is a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) with Yoga Alliance, which acknowledges the completion of a yoga teacher training with an approved active Registered Yoga School (RYS).

 

A little about me:

 

In 2017, I decided to try yoga and thought it was going to be an easy transition because I was in the gym regularly weight lifting and I would mix crossfit in with my routine. I could not have been more wrong! My first experience with yoga was at LA Fitness with an instructor whom I admire dearly and is now a peer of mine, humbled me for sixty minutes during. What I learned that day was yoga is not about getting into the prefect pose or being the most flexible, it is about embracing the journey and listening to your body along the way.

 

In 2021, during the pandemic I chose to deepen my yoga practice by becoming a certified teacher through Online Yoga School offered by Yoga & Ayurveda Center. After five months of studying and practicing daily, I obtained my RYT 200 and nine months later obtained my Ayurveda Specialist certification. Since becoming a yoga teacher I find my practice gravitated towards Power yoga focusing on strength building, flexibility and mobility; however, I also teach gentle and vinyasa yoga as well.

 

When I am not on my mat or in the gym I am spending time with family and friends, volunteering in my community, or throwing it down in my favorite place, the kitchen.
