Episode 17: Pursuing your Wildest Dreams with Sober Yoga Girl Alex McRoberts




Alex is a 500 Hour Registered Yoga Teacher, Certified Life Coach, entrepreneur, podcaster, and Ontario Certified Teacher. Since a very young age, she was drawn to yoga as a way to calm her mind and manage an undiagnosed mood disorder.

When Alex became sober in 2019, yoga played a key role in her sober journey. In 2020, Alex founded the Mindful Life Practice Community and Sober Curious Yoga, an online yoga community with participants from all over the world who are changing their relationship with alcohol using mindfulness techniques such as yoga, meditation, community and journaling.

Alex is passionate about the healing powers of yoga – for both mental and physical health – and sharing it with others! Alex now splits her time between Bali, Indonesia and Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. In her free time, Alex plays the guitar, writes and spends time with her cat, Princess.
