Owner of Just OM Yoga Studio (JOYS)

Yoga’s transformational power hit Alex’s heart when she attended her first yoga class in Caracas back in 2002. At the time, her stress levels as the CEO of her own printing business were so high she had to ground herself before shaking people’s hands so that she didn’t shock them. The stress was also manifesting itself as tightness in her whole body that kept her from reaching her hands anywhere past her knees. Yoga ignited a spark in Alex’s journey that changed her life forever.

After many years exploring different yoga styles, she decided to get her first 200-hour Yoga certification under a Baron Baptiste Power Yoga School in 2012 and began her quest to share the life-changing power of yoga with others. She has continued to explore various styles of yoga since then and in her research for tools to share with her students, obtained certifications in Chair Yoga, Prenatal, Restorative Yoga, and as a Yoga Gangster, bringing the power of yoga to at-risk youth in Panama.

In 2014 she opened the doors of Just OM Yoga and never satiated, she then obtained her second 200-hour Vinyasa teaching certification in 2016.

Alex’s diverse body of knowledge becomes apparent in her classes, as she mixes these different yoga techniques together to create a unique style all her own. Her classes focuses on alignment, breathing (Pranayama) and self-expression, allowing each student to flow spontaneously into a physical and spiritual transformation. She is passionate about experimenting in her own practice, using her experiences as a platform to evolve and enrich her teaching skills.

Anamargret fell in love with yoga and has never looked back. She was initiated into the Himalayan Tantric lineage by her Guru Yogarupa, Rod Stryker, founder of Para Yoga® and is a Level 2 certified Para Yogi. She is on the faculty of the Himalayan Institute and is part of the Yoga International online yoga program.

Anamargret’s classes are strong, fun, compassionate and create the space for students to shine in their own light. One of the biggest joys in her life is her little sister Chandline who has taught her how to smile from the heart.
