Axel Watts

Axel Watts is a yoga teacher, movement educator, retreat leader, and community builder with over a decade of experience helping people reconnect with themselves through movement, mindfulness, and shared experience. Their teaching blends strength, mobility, breath, and intentional movement with a deep belief that wellness is about more than strength and flexibility.
Known for creating welcoming, inclusive spaces, Axel’s classes invite students to explore challenge, play, curiosity, and connection. Whether guiding a sweaty vinyasa flow, a heart-opening workshop, or a gathering in nature, they weave together anatomy, self-inquiry, music, and community to create experiences that feel both grounding and transformative.
Based in Northern California, Axel is the co founder of The Tilted Hill, an emerging retreat space in the Sierra foothills dedicated to helping people slow down, reconnect with nature, and build meaningful community. As a queer teacher and facilitator, they are especially passionate about creating spaces where people can show up authentically, celebrate who they are, and remember that healing, joy, and connection are things we create together.
