Alex Whittow

Born and raised in Midwest suburbia, Alex found himself unfulfilled with the “normal” way of life. One existential crisis later, he discovered a new way to live: it was yoga, here and now.

Landing in Durango in 2019, Alex quickly became a regular at The Sweaty Buddha, finding joy and accomplishment in both fiery, solar classes as well as in slower, mindful practices. For Alex, every aspect of yoga can be intoxicating: mentally, physically, spiritually, or perhaps all of them, all at once.

Curious to learn more, Alex completed his 200-hour prana vinyasa training in October 2023. He’s incredibly humbled by the opportunity to help others break out of “normal,” discover more, and amble down the path of ease and contentment.

When he’s not teaching or practicing yoga, you can find Alex climbing in the San Juans, starting a new business, or advocating for bold climate action locally and beyond.
