Alex is the founder of Higher Yoga Academy that provides educational products for yoga schools, freelance yoga teachers, and private practitioners worldwide. Being in love with meditation and eastern philosophy, Alex has been studying and practicing yoga since 2000, constantly aiming to realize its essence beyond the physical.

He apprenticed with a yoga master, received spiritual initiation, and started to teach classes on classical Ashtanga and Bhakti yoga in 2006. Since then Alex is committed to sharing the knowledge of self-realized yogis along with experience and insights received during his apprenticeship, years of everyday meditations, living in isolation and solitude, and immersions into a wide range of yogic practices such as jnana-, karma-, raja-, Hatha-, tantra-, bhakti-yoga and others.

Alex’s mission is to explain the essence and hidden power of yoga in a simplistic, digestible manner in order to assist practitioners in all parts of our planet. Yoga is much deeper than it is widely thought to be nowadays, and Alex is convinced that this precious knowledge must be preserved. He firmly believes that it’s much more important to practice yoga in our day-to-day life than on a mat. Currently

Alex teaches yoga philosophy and technique within yoga teacher training courses and develops online programs and manuals to disseminate the essence of yoga all over the world.
