Does this sound like you?

  • You love teaching and are yearning to learn more.

  • When your student has an ah-ha moment it lights up your day and you’d like to help your students have more of these moments!

  • Do you feel like you still don’t understand the deeper elements of yoga? Maybe you feel like you are culturally appropriating yoga because of a limited understanding of the history and philosophy of yoga.

  • You are passionate about learning and love to discover new things about yourself and life.

  • You want to connect with a like-minded community again to get inspired and re-invigorated.

  • You want some feedback on your teaching and how to fine tune your sequencing and cueing.

  • You want to specialize your teaching in some way, like learning about Yin Yoga or diving into ancient Yoga texts.

At Soul Thrive Yoga we are all passionate about yoga, learning, and helping others.  We know, from experience, that the more we educate ourselves and commit to our practice the more we grow and transform. This allows us to support our students on a deeper level AND find more peace in our daily lives.

Our hope is that all people can feel this transformation and, as teachers continue to learn, they continue to ripple these benefits out into the world.  We have educated hundreds of teachers that continue to learn and grow with us and it make our heart smile every time we hear from a student about the impacts their work is making on their students lives.


We get your desire to impact more people, expand your revenue streams, and stay aligned to your mission and life’s calling.

This is possible and we are here to help.

Alex Anderson-Munn

Lead Trainer

Alex discovered the power of yoga 8 years ago. This sparked a curiosity in her on how to bring students into the present moment. It became a journey on searching for ways to honor the individuality of each human body while uniting them in their own true nature. She found her intention as an instructor to use breath centered movements, which would open her students up to this power. To the power that I see everyday through the ways which we conduct ourselves, through self discovery, discipline, stillness and connection.

Certified Student Testimonials

“Amazing experience! Christina has put a tremendous amount of work and effort into her training program! She is very committed to staying up to date with her own personal education. I love that she promotes safety first above all else throughout your practice. Her course was the perfect balance between the Asana’s and the spiritual (sutras) side of yoga. Her feedback is very thorough and positive. I feel very lucky that I stumbled upon her program.”

- Melanie S

“My Yoga Teacher Trainer Melanie Palis had an inclusive, gentle and thorough teaching style that I really connected with during my 200hr Yoga Teacher Training this year. I felt inspired and excited for each day in the training and was grateful to have a trainer that genuinely cared about her student's success in the program. I loved being taught about all the aspects of yoga, from asana to meditation, to the spiritual connection between mind and body. It was scary stepping out of my comfort zone and practice teaching in class, but I'm so thankful that it was part of the curriculum because I came out of this program feeling ready to teach -still very green, but ready to give it my best.”

Natalie B

“Alex is a wonderful yoga teacher. Her thorough understanding of yoga and positive energy shines through in her classes. While I was completing my 200-hour teacher training, Alex went over and above with helpful feedback on every assignment. She is a thoughtful teacher who kindly answered all of my questions in detail. I loved how she guided meditations and class discussions about the philosophy of yoga, listening to everyone's interpretations. I learned so much from Alex throughout this teacher training -- it was exactly what I needed and more.”
