We all had a great time practicing tai chi, soaking in ice baths, and warming in the steam sauna. I highly recommend attending one of Alex's events if you need to return some pep to your step. To the men out there, also check out his men's group, Awakened Warriors on SweatPals.

I did a one on one Somatic Breathwork session with Alex and wow! I had a transformational experience where I felt supported and loved for being myself and releasing pent up emotions that were no longer serving me. The atmosphere, the energy and the music were all so amazing to be a part of the experience. Highly recommend doing a Somatic Breathwork session, I was honestly scared but to release all that has left me with so much more emotional room to grow and flourish in emoti… See more

Alex is a genius and an endless well of knowledge when it comes to life, and most importantly, breathwork. He has opened my mind in so many ways, and helped me heal brotherhood wounds that I don’t think I could’ve done by myself. This man is one of those pure souls that we don’t have enough of in this world

This event was so special and exactly what I needed. I definitely consider myself a spiritual person and I'm for all the natural healing modalities so breath work, sound bowls and chiropractors are a firm YES for me! I didn't get any pictures of Sprouts Alive who was serving a delicious sprouts salad and sampling some delicious fresh and natural juices with all the nutrition and none of the sugar. I was in the market for a new chiro so I've already made my first appointment and VUKA, the wonderful gem that hosted us was the best hidden treasure. This place is the hidden bungalow you never knew you needed. I was digging the chic hippie vibes, community work spaces, offices and warm environment. Minute wLks from pilates and great eating right on Monroe and S 1st St. Parking was a breeze in the nook right next to Fresas if there isn't room in front of the building, literally a 3 minute walk. Enjoy monthly membership but also pop in for the day. I work a hybrid schedule and this is the best place to pop in, change the scenery, meet some new folks and have a great lunch or dinner. Love learning about new-to-me treasures in Austin and this is definitely one of them!

What a different event. I left so calm. I've been reading and practicing breathing intentionally for a few months and this was a nice class with sound bath. Thanks for having limitless chiropractic in sprouts alive available to really round out the wellness events. Loved the dressing used. And also Vuka is a great space I'll be sure to let my friends who work from home know that they can try a week for free. It can be hard to find parking, so definitely bike here or walk.

This event was so much fun! I have never experienced somatic breath work or a sound bath so it was all very new to me! I also have never been to Vuka before, so it was cool checking it out!The actual breathwork event with the sound bath was such a unique experience. I would definitely do it again. The breathwork exercises were very energizing and the sound bath was calming and relaxing. I just lost one of my jobs so doing this event was actually so helpful because I felt very calm and carefree at the end. They had some great bites and refreshments at the event. I really enjoyed the 'alive' salad. I am a health freak so I am always down to try salads. The salad and fresh juice was so good and really fit the vibe of the event! I would totally come back to try the refreshing drinks! I also did the adjustment with limitless chiropractic. I have been to a chiropractor before so I am familiar with how it works. I liked the adjustment because they did my feet which Iv never done before! Usually when I go they just focus on the back. The actual practice does not take health insurance but they do take HSA credit cards which is nice! This was such a great event! Thank you Tomas for putting it together!!

What a wonderful venue!!!! This was our first Yelp! Event and it was awesome beyond words. Thank you Thomas for putting this together. We first learned many helpful breathing techniques. After I let all the "outside noise" go and concentrated, there are no words for the feelings that over came me. Next were the sound bowls for the sound bath. The feeling you get with the sound waves going thru you- there are no words. When it was over, I felt like a new person. Then we had treats from Sprouts Alive. YUMMM. they were so informative about what the salad was made of. We had a choice of 2 juices as well. Then it was off to Limitless Chiropractors. WOW! I have always been skeptical of chiropractic methods. I told the therapist what was ailing me and he could tell right away. Very professional and so very helpful. I felt honored to be allowed the attend this event. I cannot wait to attend more and yell our community of these wonderful businesses.

Incredible experience! The somatic breathing and sound bath were so relaxing. The instructor seemed knowledgeable and explained the process well for a newbie like me. The Vuka space is really nice. Rustic, clean, lots of space to co-work. They have a kitchen space and it looks like they keep some games there too. The outdoor space in the back was large and peaceful. It seems like a great place to hold events.The salad and juice from Sprouts alive was so fresh and zesty. The whole experience was calming and healing. I felt really taken care of by the Yelp team and the sponsors.

I've never experienced anything like this before! The breath work portion proved that I have plenty of room for improvement on my own techniques. I enjoyed the fast paced drills followed by the sound bath. I actually dozed off a couple times! Alex connected with us afterward and explained he's gone into this head on over the last couple years and can apply these practices every day. He even shared a story of coaching a bridal party thru their big day - breath work can truly alleviate stress in the moment. The food and juice provided by sprouts alive was deliciously fresh. I would gladly try their other items as they're truly homegrown with love. I wish I could've stayed for a free alignment but I could hear the satisfying crunches from the food line.. sounded like some deeeeep stretching! Thanks Yelp and Vuka for hosting an amazing event. I left feeling refreshed and more aware/connected with myself. I would absolutely do this again and have already told friends about it!!

Props to Tomas for a great and unique experience!Located in a very cute venue we all went into a room with yoga mats and our goodie bag and they explained what would go on with the breathing techniques and sound bath.It was so relaxing and calming but very active with great instructions on how to breathe. You're so focused on your breathing that you let go of all other worries and stresses going on. Then the relaxing sound bath where I fell asleep and had the most amazing and restful nap. Afterwards, Limitless chiropractic doctors were there offering free adjustments as well as salads given by Sprouts to promote their grand opening.Snacks and drinks were also provided to us which was a nice addition! Great to meet Tomas finally and see a lot of new faces since moving to Austin!

A unique relaxing and therapeutic experience. I didn't know what to expect at this event as it is so different from any other Yelp elite events I have been to and I wasn't sure if it was for me but so glad I went!The somatic breathwork exercises helped reduce my stress levels leaving me a great sense of calm and wellbeing. Finishing with a sound bath was therapeutic.The co-working space at Vuka is quite large with spacious benches, multiple rooms including one for refreshments and a huge hall for group experiences.We also got to try sprouts salad and fresh juice from Sprouts Alive ATX - the juice with miso and ginger was quite refreshing.Tomas was kind enough to provide a variety of snacks before the event, much appreciated.

Wow! Such a wholesome and lovely event! I appreciate that there were so many offerings here with: Somatic breath-work by Envision, sound bath healing following, health snack and juice samples by Spouts Alive and a quick adjustment by Limitless Chiropractors. I've never been to Vuka before and I will be back in the future. I had a chance to speak with Jason who works there and he showed some of the private working spaces for booking. This is an eclectic, warm and rustic co-working space, tucked away off first street! Complete with a kitchen, nice outdoor space and big event space for private bookings. I enjoyed the sound bath and the adjustments offered by Limitless chiropractic (BEST PART OF THE EVENT) I had my adjustment done by Scott Mitchell and *aaaahhhh* I feel amazing!! Definitely will be booking future appointment. Thank you Yelp!

Such a wonderful experience! Alex is really knowledgeable about somatic breath work and breathing techniques to help calm stress and anxiety. I'm a yoga instructor and always looking for classes that focus on mindfulness and meditation. This was exactly what I needed!The event started off with Tomas checking all the attendees in, they had some snacks and waters for us, and then we had some free time to mingle with other Yelp Elite members. They also gave us a tour of the Vuka facility, which was really nice - it's basically an elevated coworking space with a spacious backyard, kitchen, and massive back room where the breath work event was hosted.The breath work + sound bath portion probably lasted about an hour and were very energizing yet peaceful at the same time. I came out of the session feeling invigorated yet relaxed. Alex and his girlfriend are clearly very passionate about what they do and sharing their practice with others.After the event ended, we got to check out some fresh juices and alive salads from Sprouts Alive and get a free consultant from Limitless Chiropractic. We also got to socialize with other Yelp Elite members.This was one of the most unique Yelp Elite events I went to and I'm excited to check out these businesses again!

Working in the startup/technology space can feel like a non-stop hustle but Alex creates a space to slow down and focus on your breath. When I attended his breathwork session I wasn't even fully aware of how much stress I was managing and the way it was impacting my mood, productivity and creativity. My work with Alex allowed me to release what needed to go and come back refreshed and rejuvenated in work and life. I highly recommend Alex as a breath work practitioner for your next event!

Alex and his partner created such a magical experience for us during our business mentorship retreat in Austin, Texas. I had tried ice baths in the past but could never make it past one minute, always having a hard time regulating my breath. The breathwork, meditation and sound bath that Alex facilitated prior to the ice bath had me feeling like super woman! We stayed in the ice bath for 2 minutes and I honestly felt like I could have stayed in there all day! (ok, maybe not all day, but you get what I mean :)) This experience was such a fun bonding exercise and it helped me to recognize my strength. Thank you Alex!!

Alex leads fantastic breathwork sessions for groups and individuals several times a week. I attended at least a dozen of his group breathwork sessions and every time I felt safe, engaged and committed to working on myself. I often gained insights about myself or my environment during his breathwork sessions. After his sessions I feel relaxed, disconnected from my day to day challenges, and I experience increased clarity. I also attend Alex's ice bath groups regularly. I love his ice baths because I feel energized, exhilarated and focused after them every time.

Alex is a true life changer. Being introduced to breathwork and being shown what I can do with my own ability to breathe through life in different ways is invaluable. His sessions are not only eye opening and therapeutic but truly motivating and clarifying. And add the ice baths he leads on top of it all — it’s truly magic. Being able to move through discomfort is powerful. I’ve never met someone so inspiring and brilliant at describing, leading and creating a safe space for a new and healing experience.

I really enjoy Alex’s somatic breathwork classes, both at the Ashram and at 3rd Eye Meditation Lounge. I often tell people breathwork has become my therapy and my church. Alex seems to have just the right touch…not too directive, yet not too hands off. I’ve also attended some of the men’s meetings he hosts on Tuesday nights and I’ve gotten a lot out of those as well. I strongly recommend to everyone I know in both the recovery community and wellness community to try one of his classes at least once!

Alex is a one of kind breathwork coach. Coming from a beginner who had zero experience besides the science behind the process, Alex really helps you get in the state of mind, push you to beyond your boundary in a way that is attainable, and truly makes you feel empowered. His sessions are unconventional and eccentric which brings a lot of fun to the environment. I would highly recommend Envision Breathworks to take your next step of mindfulness and longevity.

Attending Alex's breathwork classes have quickly become the highlight of my week. His energy is strong, and he is a powerful speaker. The takeaways have been unexpected, but it really has been helping me with all of life's challenges, alleviate fear/anxiety/guilt, and gives me energy to live life fully (for the first time!) If you're looking for high intensity Breathwork, or just a way to release the things that don't serve you, this is an excellent choice.

Alex is a gifted and dedicated teacher. I recently attended a Saturday morning class in his back yard that included Tai Chi exercises, breathwork, a brief introduction to the Wim Hof method, and a great ice bath, complete with your choice of treats: watermelon, grapes, and jalapeno peppers. It made my whole day! Highly recommended!

Since enrolling in my first class with Alex (more than a year ago), he's been a God-send. He calls on you to really show up. To love and push yourself beyond your comfort zone. To connect with your inner, higher self and those around you. Alex is a consummate professional whose exuberant energy is infectious to all he comes into contact with. The past year hasn't been easy, for myself and for many others, but having a community and mentorship has made it much simpler. I'd highly recommend working with Alex! He's helped me and my fiance grow tremendously and I'm sure he could help you too :) Go get it!
