Tried, Tested, Loved.
Looking for the right mat, the perfect read, or props that actually help? I’ve done the practice (and the cleaning), so you don’t have to guess. Every recommendation is something I’ve personally used, loved, and stand behind.

The voice behind This Yoga Life
Hi, I’m Alexia Koletsou, PhD. I’m the writer, researcher, and mat-tester behind This Yoga Life. I’ve been practicing Ashtanga since 2009 and have traveled to Mysore, India five times to deepen my studies. I love reading yoga books, recommending the ones that truly resonate, and testing out mats and props to find what actually works.
This space is where I share what’s helped me (and what hasn’t), so you can feel more grounded, informed, and inspired in your own practice. From favorite reads to real talk on practice highs and lows—This Yoga Life is yoga as it really shows up, on and off the mat.
