THE DEEP DIVE INTO SOBER YOGA: SATSANG, SADHANA & SEVA
THE 100 HOUR SOBER CURIOUS YOGA YTT
​
​
For Women 2-4+ Months on the Sober Curious Journey
​
Have you completed the Sober Girls Yoga 30 Day, 60 Day, and 108 Day challenge and are like: now what?
​
You're at least two months into your sobriety - but you realize sobriety, like yoga, is a practice. Just because you're done your Sober Yoga Challenge doesn't mean that the work is over - it's really just beginning. You need a continuous small group to support you and help you stay accountable to your journey.
​
You also realize that helping others will be key to help you help yourself.
​
You're curious about learning more about the history and philosophy of yoga - but aren't necessarily ready to step in front of a class and become a teacher. (Or maybe you are ready - and dream of teaching one day as part of the 30/60/108 Day programs?)
​
Perhaps you are already a yoga teacher and want to learn more about sober focused yoga.
​
Or maybe you are a sober coach or leader of a sober community and want to bring meditation and yoga into your offerings.
​
If the above is YOU - then the Deep Dive into Sober Yoga (100 Hour Sober Curious Yoga Teacher Training) is for YOU!
​
Learn:
-
The history of yoga (the origins of Sanskrit, the origins of yoga and the branches of yoga).
-
We will be introduced to energy and subtle bodies through the koshas, pranayama, the chakras, and the philosophy of the 8 limbs of yoga.

We will workshop the main standing poses of yoga (tadasana, down dog, the warrior series, etc.)

The philosophy of yoga (overview of source text including The Bhavagad Gita, Pantanjali's Yoga Sutras

Why work with Alex?
Alex is a 500 Hour Registered Yoga Teacher, Certified Life Coach, entrepreneur, podcaster, and Ontario Certified Teacher. Since a very young age, she was drawn to yoga as a way to calm her mind and manage an undiagnosed mood disorder. She began practicing yoga daily at the age of eighteen and completed her first 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in 2014 at Yandara Yoga Institute in Mexico. In 2017, she completed her 300 Hour Yoga Teacher Training at Zuna Yoga in Bali.
Since then, she has taught yoga internationally, in Canada, where she is from, Kuwait, where she lived for two years in her early twenties, and Abu Dhabi, where she called home for five years. She now resides in Bali, Indonesia. Alex has participated in several additional trainings, including Yoga Workshop Design for Teachers with Rolf Gates, Prenatal and Postnatal Yoga, Yoga for Kids and Trauma Informed Yoga.
When Alex became sober in 2019, yoga played a key role in her sober journey. In 2020, Alex founded the Mindful Life Practice Community and Sober Girls Yoga, an online yoga community with participants from all over the world who are changing their relationship with alcohol using mindfulness techniques such as yoga, meditation, community and journalling. In 2021 Alex left her career as an elementary school teacher to pursue this passion full time. Alex is an authorized trainer with Yoga Teacher Central and leads 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Trainings, 300 Hour Yoga Teacher Trainings, and 30 Hour Trainings certified by the Yoga Alliance.

"I found Alex McRobs and Sober Curious Yoga after I had gotten sober. I'd gone down a rabbit hole of Instagram following yoga and sober hashtags when suddenly I saw a comment Alex had made on a post. I messaged her and joined Sober Curious Yoga and immediately fell in love with the community.
