Yesterday, I took Alex Cordoba’s 12pm All Levels class at Kindness Yoga.
Alex’s authenticity was the aspect of her teaching that resonated most with me yesterday. From the moment I walked in the door, I felt the genuine enthusiasm and openness of heart that characterizes her and her teaching. In class, Alex spoke to all of us as friends. The warmness of her tone gently pried open levity and freedom in a group of shy students. Alex teaches from a place of total authenticity – in her voice, her choice of words, and in her love of teaching yoga.
All too often, yoga teachers struggle to speak their voice. Sometimes a teacher will offer what she thinks her students want from a yoga teacher rather than offering her unique voice and gifts. Alex reaffirms the value and the power of teaching from personal truth. Her yoga class served as a beautiful reminder to let your inner voice out. It’s already perfect, exactly as it is.
Tell me about a moment when you’ve discovered your voice!
And, if you’ve taken one of Alex Cordoba’s yoga classes in Denver, leave a comment on her sweetness!

I share similar sentiments about our teacher and friend Alex Cordoba. Over the past year, I have been soaking in her light, her energy, her beauty and her wisdom. Simply said, the journey has been amazing.
I have been inspired to speak my truth and open my heart.
Both on and off the mat I have seen the impact of my practice. Thank you Alex for guiding me on this beautiful journey and for fostering community among your students.
xoxoxo You are loved more deeply than you know.
If I were a Denver resident, you could bet on seeing me on the mat in Alex’s class every week. Alas, I am all the way in Chicago and only get a chance to see Alex once in a great while. You’ve hit the nail on the head. She’s one of the most truly authentic teachers, not trying to be anything she is not and deeply committed to empowering each student to speak their own truth, as well. Thanks for sharing, Kat.
So beautiful! Thanks, Leah!
Thank you, Angela! It’s a rare gift to bring that level of honesty and uplift into a class.
Wow .. Angela and Leah, you are the reason why I SO LOVE doing what I do. Thank you for your words and for giving me the freedom and the space to share my truths. Love you both! In gratitude always…
Alex truly is a gift to the Denver yoga scene. She inspires me to show up, push hard, believe in my practice and seek (and speak) my truth on and off the mat. I’m lucky enough to be within walking distance of Qi Yoga where Alex teaches many times each week. I’m there as often as I possibly can be and I know I’ll come away feeling amazing.
Thank you, Pam! Your words ring true!
Pam.
Watching you grow these past months has been incredible. You never seize to amaze me with your curiosity and your strength. When I say it is an honor to be on this journey with you … I mean it! Much love Pam and thank you for your words!
I started taking Alex’s classes at Qi Yoga at City Park when there were just a few and have watched her grow a community in such a short while. Through Alex, my practice has deepened. She encourages her students to refine every pose through the transformative words, both physically and mentally, she speaks. I am so honored to have her as my teacher and my guide through my journey of beginning to teach myself. I love that this blog touches on her authenticity–it’s precisely what she’s provoking me to find right now and I just love her for it.
Thank you for leaving a comment, Darlene! What lovely words of truth for your teacher. Namaste!
