Is this you?
You wake up already tired. Not the kind of tired that a good night's sleep fixes but the kind that has been sitting in your bones for a while now.
Your shoulders live somewhere near your ears; your jaw is clenched before the day has even started. By 3pm the headache is back, that familiar pressure you have learned to just manage because resting is not really an option.
You keep telling yourself things will slow down soon. That you just need to get through this week, this month, this season. And then you will finally have time for yourself.
But the slowing down never comes.
And somewhere in the middle of all of it, you stopped showing up for yourself. And your body has been keeping score of every single thing your mind is carrying.
You don't need another thing on your list. You need something that gives back.
This course was built for exactly where you are right now. For the woman who is ready to take one small step back to herself without adding to the weight she is already carrying.

Introducing: The First Breath
Where your Practice Begins
What you will walk away with from this course:
A body you can trust again because you learned to listen to it instead of pushing through
A practice that fits into real life: ten minutes, no perfect conditions required
The ability to recognize where you hold tension and what to do about it in the moment
A toolkit that goes beyond the mat. Small practices for the kitchen, the car, the five minutes between everything else
The feeling that you have done something just for you and the knowledge that you are allowed to do it again tomorrow
What you will find inside the course
After you signed up, you will gain lifetime access to pre-recorded video material so you can work through the course in your own pace.
The Foundational Seven Seven popular poses, broken down step by step. Every pose comes with modifications because your body is the authority here not the textbook version of the pose. Take your time and come back as often as you need.
Find Your Flow Three 10-minute flows to put it all together. Short enough for the days when time is tight, long enough to actually feel something shift.
Yoga Off the Mat How to bring this into your everyday life and not just when you are on the mat.
I also added valuable Bonus Material to help you deepen what you learned:
Yoga Style Guide and Quiz
Printable guides for the foundational poses and the Yoga life beyond the mat
This program is built on one core principle: Your body is your authority.
You will learn how to:
Recognize your limits
Adjust poses safely
Stop comparing yourself
Move in a way that feels right for you
I am Stephanie Alexandra.
I know what it feels like to keep going when you have nothing left. A high-pressure career, constant travel, then kids, then all of it at once until I stopped feeling much of anything.
Yoga was not my first choice, but it was the thing that brought me back.
I teach the way I needed to be taught; with full permission to do what works for your body and leave the rest.
Your first breath doesn't have to be perfect. It just has to be yours.
Investment: only US$49
You get instant, lifelong access and can move at your own pace.
