Barefoot Yoga Retreat in Mexico

Sobre el retiro

Sobre los maestros

Alek Trail

Alek came to yoga in her late teens, and since then has been exploring and experimenting with the physical and mental practice as a way to stay curious, humbled, and connected. With a background in modern dance and improvisational movement, yoga has provided her different perspectives to approaches and refine the body and mind in subtler ways. With her teaching philosophy rooted in authenticity, kinesthetic awareness, and inquiry, her classes give her students a deeper sense of their inner-landscape into which they can dive deeper intellectually, spiritually, and physically. She creates an experience for her students that allows them to hone awareness, drop in, and gain more mindful insight into their own unique personal practice. Alek received her 500-hr certification with Leah Gillman at Barefoot Movement in Downtown Oakland and currently studies  Shadow Yoga with Mark Horner in Berkeley, CA. alektrail.com
