Alexis Chemnitz, founder of Carle Place Yoga, is a former elementary school teacher who has been practicing yoga for over 10 years. Experiencing the physical and mental benefits of yoga encouraged Alexis to leave her career as a teacher to study yoga and share her passion for the practice with others full time. A 200-hour RYT through Om Sweet Om Yoga in Port Washington, Alexis leads her students through an exploration of various yoga postures in each vinyasa-based class. She provides a welcoming and safe environment for varying student levels by offering modifications as well as deeper expressions of each posture while focusing on breath and alignment. Alexis’ lighthearted approach to teaching encourages her students to explore their inner strength, welcome new experiences, and, most importantly, have fun!
