200-RYT yoga teacher and movement coach

Alex Wainright teaching in a yoga studio

I've worked in tech for 15 years. By 24 the desk had caught up with me: sore wrists from the mouse, a stiff neck, an aching back. One morning I couldn't turn my head far enough to check the side mirror, and that's when I started changing things.

I still sit at a desk every day and I still feel it sometimes. The difference is I notice it early now and know what to do about it, and that's most of what I teach.

I found yoga at lunch with coworkers in Houston and did both of my 200-hour trainings there. Now I teach 4 classes a week in Salt Lake City, plus private sessions in person or on Zoom.
