Alex van Frank is a Mother, Wife, Sister, Auntie, Yoga Therapist and Teacher, Meditator, Mindful movement Instructor, Anti-racist and Indigenous Cultural Practioner.
Alex is called to the healing arts because there is a deep need in this world for listeners who are compassionate, caring, and skillful practitioners. She is not only grounded in her own healing but also well grounded in her community and the scientific world. If Alex doesn't know something she isn't afraid to say so and then do her homework of consulting other professionals and literature/journals.
She has been bringing cultures and people together throughout her life. Born in Greece and from a mixed race couple, she's lived in South America and the United States too. Alex brings a global view in both teaching style and in accessibility.
I advocate a non-harming yoga practice in order to be at peace with ourselves both mind and body. I support people of all sizes and abilities. My aim is to:
You are an expert in your body.
