Alix Rodrigues

Alix Rodrigues has been teaching yoga since 2000, and has studied many styles of Yoga with world class and very inspiring teachers. Eventually she came into her own style, by getting on the mat and beginning a quiet and thorough exploration of both her physical and mental state.
She has a passion for anatomy and the form and function of the body, and it is deeply reflected in her teaching. Her focus is to educate her students, empowering them to stand with awareness and move with integrity, not just physically but mentally as well. She also believes that a good laugh and a great sense of humor while doing yoga are crucial to the practice. You can expect laughter, insight, flow and stillness all within your yoga class with her.

Chris Tucker

Chris Tucker – I got my first introduction to yoga in Roald Dahl’s book “The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar” and I’ve been a fan ever since. I encountered the word “otaku” first on Tetsu Inoue’s album “Ambiant Otaku.” “Otaku” means something a bit like “geek” or “nerd” or someone with a particular obsession. I’ve been a pretty fickle person over my life but one thing that has stayed and given me lasting satisfaction has been the practice of yoga. I’m also a bit of a yoga slut. I used to practice a lot of Ashtanga now typically more of a Yin style. I enjoy chanting, breathing, sitting still, pretty much everything that falls under the heading “yoga.” It’s really not something you need to think about too much. Just do it and see where it takes you.

Joelle finds in yoga a current of breath, stillness, movement and sound that takes us home. Once we touch this space, it’s always with us.
Her teaching focus is to share the love and bring awareness to every layer from the skin right to the will that moves us. In Joelle’s yoga classes you will learn to access deep core muscles, tune in to your own rhythm and move from the inside. With a strong foundation in universal movement principles, both beginners and more advanced practitioners develop an inner reference system that supports their practice and ability to progress into more challenging yoga asanas.
Both Joelle’s mother, Maalaa, and grandparents on both sides have studied yoga and enjoyed its benefits. Joelle is grateful to her yoga family and to all her teachers such as Swami Shyam, Maalaa, Gioia Irwin, Orit Zen Gupta and many others who have inspired her understanding.
