ABOUT OUR COMMUNITY

sober girls yoga.webp

We started as Sober Girls Yoga in 2020.

Are you longing for deeper connection — to yourself, to your practice, and to a community that truly gets it?

Do you feel called to go beyond the surface of yoga — beyond just poses — and into the true heart of yoga philosophy?

You are not alone.

And you're exactly where you're meant to be.

The Sutra Community is a sacred online community (or sangha, in Sanskrit) where we gather weekly to explore, embody, and live the teachings of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras — together. We were originally SOBER GIRLS YOGA in 2020 and we still have the same heart - a collection of women in recovery here to support eachother on our recovery journey. But now our name has evolved as we've grown and evolved. We're now more focused on the spirituality of recovery.

If you’ve ever wished you had a space to truly study, reflect, heal, and grow alongside others who are walking the same inner path... this is it.

About our June theme & practice schedule:

Alex writes about the theme & practice schedule on her Substack, so make sure you subscribe. You can read her post about the June theme here, the Kleshas (causes of suffering). We will meet at 8:30am EST on Sundays, 7:30am EST on Mondays, and 8:30pm EST on Thursdays.

WHAT YOU GET

Each month, the Sutra Sangha focuses on a new theme from yoga philosophy, such as the vrittis (mental fluctuations) or mastering the abhyasa (practice) and vairagya (non-attachment). Alex makes ancient wisdom modern and relatable to everyone.

Regular Live Gatherings

Alex will lead regular weekly live gatherings on Zoom. The gatherings will include meditation circles, discussions, and asana practices focused on the monthly theme. In June there are twelve practices (three a week). Each week, two are yoga practices and one is a meditation circle.

WhatsApp Community

The Sutra Sangha has a special WhatsApp group where the community can connect to share insights, reflections, and takeaways - which is only available to current members.

Recordings and Resources

Can’t make it live? No worries. You’ll receive access to the replays each month of the classes.

Additionally, you will get the large library of five years+ worth of yoga asana, meditation and pranayama classes with Alex!

WHY STUDY THE SUTRAS?
AND WHY NOW?

The Yoga Sutras aren’t just old philosophy.
They are a map for healing — for calming the mind, healing addictive patterns, recovering from trauma, and remembering your True Self.

In our modern, fast-paced world, the Yoga Sutras are more relevant than ever — offering timeless guidance to live with presence, clarity, and compassion.

By joining the Sutra Sangha, you’re not just learning concepts —
you’re living the practice, day by day, breath by breath.

THIS IS FOR YOU IF...

🌟 You want to deepen your yoga practice beyond asana
🌟 You’re craving soulful community and honest conversations
🌟 You’re in recovery from addiction, trauma, or mental health struggles and seeking a spiritual foundation for healing
🌟 You feel called to spiritual growth, self-study (svādhyāya), and a path of inner peace
🌟 You want mentorship and support as you integrate yoga philosophy into your life and teaching

FAQ

What if I can't make the live calls?

All the calls are recorded and will be shared with members of the Sutra Sangha in the WhatsApp group.

Will you be teaching the yoga sutras in depth?

No. Alex leads a separate Yoga Sutra Study program which is a very popular one year course. You can join the Sutra Study here.

I'm new to yoga philosophy. Is this for me?

Absolutely. We welcome all levels — whether you're brand new or have been studying the Sutras for years. We explore complex ideas in a way that’s clear, welcoming, and grounded.

How much time do I need to commit each week?

Our live sessions are around 60–75 minutes weekly. You’re invited to participate at your own pace — whether that’s diving deep every week, or moving through the content slowly over time. You also get access to five years of recorded asana, pranayama and meditation classes on the archive at the bottom of this page with Alex so you can build a daily or weekly practice if you want to.

What makes the Sutra Sangha different?

This isn’t a pre-recorded course or surface-level study. It's an ongoing living practice community, blending ancient wisdom, modern recovery, mental health insights, and heartfelt connection. This is real. This is deep. And this is transformational.

What are the free classes listed on the schedule?

We run 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Trainings and invite our graduates to practice teach on the platform for us if they want to offer free classes. These are in service to the community and totally free of charge.

Grounded

34:49

Grounded

In times of uncertainty, chaos, and stress, we need our mindfulness practices more than ever, which is why I’ve created for you a special series called Grounded. Grounded is for absolute beginners, but yogis of any level can enjoy it. By the end of the eight classes, you will know all the foundational poses of yoga, and different breath practices to bring you into balance. Join me for Grounded to cultivate inner peace - and learn how to use that inner peace to help those around you. Beginner | Eight 30 Minute Classes Subscribe for more videos!

Release

33:24

Release

As human beings, it is our tendency to want to hold on - to relationships, people, places. But when we finally let go, what we receive can be beautiful - if we take the risk and are open to it. Release is eight classes of a flow and let go practice - half vinyasa, half yin. We’ll release the tension stored in our bodies - especially the shoulders and the hips - and discover what we need to let go of to find freedom. Join me for Release - finally let go - and receive.

Empowered

36:14

Empowered

So many of us struggle with self doubt, imposter syndrome, and are afraid of failures and falling - myself included. This is why I’ve created Empowered - an eight class series that invites us to take healthy risks, build our inner strength and self confidence, and challenge our limiting beliefs. In this power yoga series you’ll build core strength, arm strength, and build up to variations of crow, side crow and headstand. This practice will remind us how to face challenges both on our mats and in our lives as well. Advanced | Seven 30 Minute Classes Subscribe to see more videos!

Heal

35:54

Heal

We are all carrying trauma with us - childhood wounds, suffering, pain and sadness. How lucky are we to have access to yoga as a practice as a tool for us to heal. Heal is an eight class series working on back bends - lotus, camel pose, full wheel, and eventually king pigeon. We’ll explore the themes of forgiveness, compassion, gratitude, and having an open heart. Leave this practice feeling spacious, open - and ready to heal.

Authentic

34:53

Authentic

What does it mean to be authentically and unapologetically you? The throat chakra is all about speaking our truth, which is why I’ve created this “Mindful Sweat” five class series intentionally designed to build strength and have fun. The Authentic series is unique - because it’s “Mindful Sweat” - a yoga-barre fusion very authentic to me, because I created it. I became certified to teach Barre classes in 2019, shortly after becoming sober. I loved teaching Barre, but I also felt like an imposter teaching it: it just did not come naturally to me. I was not a ballerina, I was a yogi. That’s why I ended up gradually fusing more and more of my yoga training into my Barre classes, until they became what was authentically me: and thus, “Mindful Sweat” was born. During these classes, after a yoga-inspired warm-up, we will move into power mode - toning and strengthening the body with functional movement exercises set to upbeat music. Depending on the theme, there may be a focus on core, arms, legs, or cardio: with low impact options offered. We'll seamlessly transition into a mindful stretch at the end, followed by savasana. You'll leave having strengthened and stretched your body, and centered your mind.

Intuitive

34:53

Intuitive

What does it mean to practice loving kindness to your self and others? In this practice Alex will introduce you to the practice of ahimsa, which is loving kindness. Alex will teach you anahata mudra, heart opening poses, and the tonglen meditation, to absorb the pain and suffering of people in our lives, and send them healing. This is a yin style practice, designed to release stress and tension from the tissues and ligaments.

Connected

39:14

Connected

I have been living with a mood disorder, anxiety and chronic stress since I was a child and teenager. These mental health issues went undiagnosed - leading me regulate and manage my mental health struggles with the two things that helped: alcohol, and yoga. I began teaching yoga at age twenty-one, and although I knew it was my life purpose, my self doubt and my drinking problems held me back. Once I got sober, I no longer had booze to help me regulate my nervous system - leading me to get more and more passionate, serious about mindfulness, yoga and meditation to manage my moods. And this is why I’ve created this ten part series for you: meditations for difficult emotions. There are three yoga practices and seven meditation practices that are your go-to if you’re experiencing extreme mind body states and need to anchor, reconnect, and regulate yourself. Note: I do not encourage stopping taking your medication during this program.

Showing up For Others - Gentle Yoga

Sober Girls Yoga Classes are different from a regular yoga class in that they begin with a fifteen minute check-in, giving each person a chance to pick up a “talking stick” and share how they’re doing. The check-in is a judgement free zone, where we listen with compassionate curiosity and avoid interruptions and giving advice. This creates a sense of belonging, where everyone feels included and accepted, wherever they are on their journey. After the check-in, we will transition into our practice.

Shiva - Destruction (Mindful Flow 2)

Shiva - Destruction (Mindful Flow 2)

We will begin with Shiva, who represents consciousness. He is one of the three gods for the Trimurti, representing destruction. He helps us shed our egos, old habits, attachments. He destroys what needs to go, in order to make room for new. We’ll learn how to overcome our challenges and find stillness or steadiness amidst chaos. We’ll learn dancers pose and Shiva’s pose. We will chant Om Nama Shivaya. Follow Alex on Instagram @alexandramcrobert to learn more about what she does!

Saraswati - Mindful Flow 2 with Jenny and Kristen in Toronto

Saraswati - Saraswati is the goddess of wisdom. She is part of the female trinity, Tridevi. Saraswati embodies creativity, and she teaches us that we must tune our mind and intellect to achieve equilibrium of being free from both attachment and aversion. She is depicted on a lotus seat. Our practice will be creative and fluid, moving through hip opening shapes: butterfly, forward folds, low lunge, and goddess pose. We will chant Om shreem hreem Saraswatyai namaha, which invokes the wisdom of Saraswati and seeks the removal of obstacles to that wisdom.

Asteya: Nonstealing

49:32

Asteya: Nonstealing

Asteya, the third yama, can literally translate to not stealing. This practice can also include not taking others possessions, time, ideas, and more.

How many times have you said to yourself, “I’ll be happy when?” I’ll be happy…when I get that job. I’ll be happy…when I move countries. I’ll be happy…when winter is over.

Ahimsa is the first yama. It asks us to restrain against violence towards others. It is the basic act of being kind.

We’ll be invited to be really honest with our bodies about how we’re feeling during the practice, and use this to reflect on how we can be sincere and authentic every day of our lives.

The first half of Sober Flow and Let Go is a more dynamic vinyasa inspired sequence of postures with the objective of building heat and moving energy. The second half is focused on yin or restorative postures: an introspective practice in stillness and patience. We will hold seated and supine yin or restorative postures for a long duration of time, getting a deep stretch for the tissues and releasing tension from the body. This practice balances the yin and the yang and you’ll leave here feeling centered. If you enjoyed this class, please make sure to subscribe to our channel, and also check out our other offerings.
