NO 6AM Sunrise Yoga June 29th

NO Classes on 4th of July

I was born in Oklahoma. Both sides of my family came to Indian Territory in the 1860’s. They were teachers, doctors and saddle makers. I assume they were seeking to find their place in the world and a good life. Me too. I am a mother, wife, lawyer and yoga student.

I  began practicing yoga and meditation in 1971 because I really needed it. I had panic attacks which were making my life small. I had difficulty living within my body and mind.  With the urging of my brother, I moved to California and studied with yoga master Baba Hari Dass, who with the Hanuman Fellowship, created the wonderful  Mount Madonna Yoga Center.

I began teaching yoga to high school students in 1978. When I began to practice yoga, I don’t recall that we put names to a particular practice. In any event, I have studied Hatha, Iyengar, Ashtanga, Restorative, Kundalini and Yoga Nidra.  I intend to continue to deepen my yoga practice.  I do yoga and meditation today because I still really need it

Lisa has been practicing yoga since 1999 and started practicing at 3rd Street Yoga in 2003. She started a regular yoga practice after the birth of her children finding that with a regular yoga practice she had much less pain with her neck and back as well as finding a great sense of peace and calm. Lisa finished her 200 hour RYT teacher training with Karen Prior-Samatva Yoga in June of 2009. She finished the program with over 280 hours of training. Lisa teaches Samatva, to find your inner state of harmony and balance. Contact her for private lessons or pelvic floor evaluations. 405.503.7522

I found yoga because I have scoliosis and back pain. I stayed because of the spirituality- I transformed my life into one that I love living. I’ve been teaching yoga since 2015.

Alex got her 200HR Yoga Teacher Certification in 2014 at Grassroots Yoga Studio in Albuquerque, NM and also holds a certification in PIYO, a combination of yoga, pilates and cardio for endurance and strength training. Alex's classes focus on affirmations and intentions to create positive thinking, space and energy that creates an atmosphere to help deepen individuals practices both mentally, physically and spiritually. "it's not about the most advanced yoga posture you can do, it's about trying new things, continuing to try new things and conquering new obstacles".

I personally practiced yoga for 10+ years before deciding to listen to my inner voice and begin to truly understand the gift of yoga.  Once I decided to listen, the journey presented many wonderful opportunities allowing me to share the peace, grace and stillness that can be found through a complete practice of yoga.

I enjoy the connection of mindfulness, heightened spiritual awareness and a sense of peaceful oneness that yoga brings to the individual.  It is because of these that I decided to become a yoga teacher.  My soul smiles when I can offer acceptance, encouragement and peace to others in life and on the mat.

In classes, we fuse asana, Kriya, meditation, mantra and pranayama allowing those practicing to experience a deeper connection with themselves.  My intent for class is to go within, find the place of gratitude, love and acceptance for ourselves and know that we can return to this place on and off the mat.

Allix was introduced to yoga at 3rd Street as a teenager when attending Edmond North High School in the late 2000's. Her practice has made a profound impact on her life and helped her manage several difficult obstacles, including childhood trauma and physical illness, and fostered a desire to be of service to others. She obtained her 200hr teacher training from SoulWork in 2020, training in the Akhanda lineage. She went on to receive her 60hr Trauma-Informed training certification in 2021 after working with survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault here in Oklahoma City. As a master's student of Social Justice & Human Rights at Arizona State University, she hopes to work with survivors of trauma and provide yoga to those seeking solace, refuge, and resistance. Allix loves creatures big and small, and enjoys reading, learning new languages, writing short stories, and finding new ways to live simply and sustainably. She is available at request for private sessions.
