Alex Fraim has been practicing Yoga in the Iyengar method since 1997. He is a graduate of the Iyengar Yoga Institute of San Francisco Teacher Training program. Up until his relocation to Germany in 2009 he lived in San Francisco, where he regularly studied with two of the most renowned senior teachers, Ramanand Patel and Manouso Manos (with whom he also assisted in classes). Alex is a certified Iyengar® Yoga Instructor and additionally holds a teaching certificate from Ramanand Patel. Every two years he travels to Pune, India, where he stays for one month to study at the Iyengar Yoga Institute and continues his Ayurvedic research.

Since the beginning of his Yoga studies, Alex was especially interested in the therapeutic aspects of Yoga, and this later led him to pursue Ayurveda. He went on to study at the California College of Ayurveda and graduated after a two-year program with the degree of "Clinical Ayurveda Specialist." Before moving to Germany, he operated an Ayurvedic practice San Francisco.

Alex finds much inspiration in the worlds of philosophy, art, music and literature and is also an active artist with a B.A. in Fine Art. He especially considers the teachings of J. Krishnamurti, which he discovered at a young age, to be a major influence on his thinking and understanding.
