For over thirty years, I have been dedicated to the realm of embodiment through dance, yoga, and somatic practices. My trajectory has been shaped by sustained practice, in‑depth study, and an earnest commitment to cultivating attentive, sincere listening to what reveals itself through lived experience.

My work draws on a constellation of practices distilled over time, including Shadow Yoga, Body‑Mind Centering, Embodied Flow, and teachings from non‑dual tantra and Chinese medicine, all of which orient and refine the way I teach.

I conceive of the body as a site of emergence and revelation — a place we can turn toward for listening, discernment, and orientation. I accompany people as they develop a more subtle fluency in tending to their bodies, cultivating a presence that is genuinely embodied.

As a mother of three, the intimacy and complexity of family life continue to shape how I hold space: listening deeply, discerning with care, and offering a presence that is steady and grounded. These qualities support contexts where safety, inspiration, and sincere inquiry can unfold.

For more than fifteen years, I have been engaged in work around the thresholds of the feminine — a long arc of practice and inquiry that calls for nuance, subtlety, and a presence able to adjust to what is unfolding.

I am also honoured to be on the faculty of Samāveśa, School of Tantra and Somatics and Embodied Yoga, and to serve as a guest facilitator for numerous international trainings and immersions.

  • Having Alexandra by my side has been an inspiration and of great value, both personally and professionally. With her sensitivity, reflections and poetic language she holds space for the deeper processes of life. Alexandra creates a landscape where my doubts and questions can soften because they are seen as a part of something bigger. A space where questions can land on a more subtle level in my body-mind. A space where things feel less urgent, where I am able to sit more with the uncomfortable and trust in life’s unfolding.

  • Alexandra guides with such tenderness and care, everything that happens feels deeply rooted, supported, nourished - leaving you safe to go deeper. This with with a heart-led tenacity, a devotional commitment - to the practices, to the relationships within a body and between bodies, to and between Self - that makes it possible to trust in the unknown that is unfolding.

  • Practising yoga with Alexandra offers me a space in which I can land, settle, and simply be. Her gentleness, deep listening, and artistic sensitivity inspire trust and encourage me to explore my physical and inner resources in new ways. I am deeply grateful for the way she has accompanied me on this path of wisdom and embodied presence. Since beginning to practise with her, I feel calmer, stronger, and more centred. Alexandra's background as both a dancer and a yoga teacher gives her a particularly refined understanding of the body and of space, lending a unique quality to her approach. I wholeheartedly recommend her work to anyone ready to open themselves to new territories of exploration, self-discovery, and a deeper encounter with their own possibilities.
