Why Santa Cruz?

About Alex
Hi, I'm Alex Pappas. I grew up in the Santa Cruz mountains and live and breathe amongst the redwoods. I
have spent much of my life discovering idyllic beaches and pristine forests all around the world. I
recently returned from living five years in Brazil where I became enamored by the culture and entranced
by the vibrant nature.
I have studied yoga and meditation for 20 years and am a meditation
teacher. I am a certified Neuro Linguistic Programming Coach and hold a BA in Psychology from UC San
Diego. I combine teaching and practices from psychology, yoga, meditation and nature therapy to afford
clients the ability to reach lasting fulfillment, equanimity of mind and the ability to see the path to
realize one's life intentions.
I would be pleased to meet you and guide you mindfully through the
redwood forest of Santa Cruz.
