Alexander Medin

R. Alexander Medin has been teaching yoga for 28 years. He was certified by the legendary Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in 2002, an honor achieved by only 33 individuals. He holds an MA in Sanskrit and Indian Religions (SOAS 2004) and has had the privilege of traveling the world teaching yoga. He is the founder of Puro Yoga, the Back in the Ring Foundation, and Nøsen Yoga and Mountain Hotel.

Alexander is a classic dandelion child. Despite a troubled upbringing, he became the Norwegian champion in Breakdance (1984) and later in boxing (1987) before completing a classical ballet education (1990). He later worked for five years as a dancer and musical artist before he had the privilege to teach yoga.
