About Bearded Yoga Life
Yoga Journey
Alvin (Al) began his yoga journey in 2017, initially seeing it as a way to complement his regular gym routine. However, his first class at LA Fitness, led by an inspiring instructor, proved to be a humbling experience. It quickly became clear that yoga was not just about mastering poses but about self-discovery, mindfulness, and personal growth.
Teacher Certification
In 2021, during the pandemic, Al decided to deepen his practice by enrolling in the Online Yoga School at Yoga & Ayurveda Center. After five months of dedicated study and daily practice, he earned his RYT 200 certification. As his passion for yoga grew, so did his hunger for knowledge, leading them to pursue additional certifications, including:
- Ayurveda Specialist
- Chair Yoga Certified
- Trauma Informed Certified
- Restorative Yoga Certified
- CPR Certified
As an instructor, Al specializes in Power Yoga, integrating strength, flexibility, and mobility while also offering gentle, hatha, and vinyasa yoga practices.
Off the Mat
Beyond the yoga studio, Al is deeply involved in the community as a board member and mindfulness instructor for the Mindful Child Initiative. He also enjoy expressing his creativity in the kitchen and cherishing quality time with family and friends, embracing the importance of connection. He has recently found a new joy in photography.
