OUR TEACHING TEAM

Our Foundations team

  • Lex Irias (She/Ella)

    OWNER

    Lex embraces the paradox of being human—the push and pull of rest and growth, solitude and connection, technology and humanity. Passionate about digital wellness, she sees the studio as a refuge—a place to step away from algorithms and reconnect with personal and communal rhythms.

    As both a yoga instructor and psychotherapist, she invites students to use movement, stillness, and breath as practices of self-care and pathways to nervous system regulation.

    Deeply proud of her Honduran heritage, Lex is committed to supporting and elevating the Spanish-speaking community in Denver. For more than seven years, she has taught yoga in Spanish and over the last 4 years has created grant-funded educational programs on mental health and substance misuse, serving hundreds of individuals and families.

    She is honored to step into the role of studio owner at Better Buzz Yoga and is committed to cultivating a community where everyone feels seen, welcomed, and supported—a community rooted in intergenerational wisdom, cultural diversity, and compassionate curiosity.

  • Raymond Tapia (He/They)

    DIRECTOR OF YOGA

    Raymond has guided students as a teacher at Better Buzz Yoga since 2019, fostering a strong sense of community. With over a decade of experience in teaching, a background in meditation instruction, and an M.A. in Contemplative Psychotherapy and Buddhist Psychology, Raymond brings a diverse depth of understanding to the role of Director of Yoga.

    Inspired by the liberatory nature of yoga, Raymond is passionate about cultivating spaces where this transformative practice can be shared and experienced in community. Driven by a deep belief in yoga's power to truly alleviate both individual and collective suffering, Raymond strives to nurture inclusive and supportive environments that welcome others to authentically connect, heal and grow with one another through the shared practice of yoga.
