Alex Hansen is a certified Iyengar Yoga instructor. He began his Iyengar yoga practice in 1998 and studies regularly with senior teachers. Alex holds a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Sculpture and incorporates a variety of physical disciplines into his life including yoga, martial arts, dance, and skateboarding. Besides teaching at MYC, Alex also teaches Introduction to Iyengar Yoga through the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Definitely not a human pretzel, and perhaps because of this, Alex has developed a clear understanding of the yoga poses as they apply to all body types. Alex's teaching style is encouraging and infused with sporadic doses of humor. Due to his background in fine arts and sculpture, Alex has developed a strong 3-dimensional awareness of the poses. For Alex, each pose has a specific sculptural form and its own individual alignment. The communication of this to the student, so that the student understands this in their own body and mind is what Alex focuses on as a teacher. |
