Growing up in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, Alexis Waite learned to snowboard at local Seattle ski areas Alpental and Stevens Pass.
She decided she wanted to be a professional snowboarder when she was a teenager, and began pursuing a career through the contest circuit in New England at 17, where she attended Stratton Mountain School.
Luckily her career was not defined by injury, however she notably broke her eye socket, cheekbone and wrist in the 2005 Winter X-Games,[1] and both her hands simultaneously at Ms SuperPark 2007.
Here she learned energy healing, reflexology and helped manage a 6,500 acre cattle ranch by horseback in the Bear Paw Mountains.
She trained under Yogi Aaron Starr at Blue Osa[2] in Costa Rica and got her teaching career started at the Yoga Hive [3] in Whitefish, Montana.
