Alexandra Macdonald

I am a professional dancer, yogini and somatics facilitator and have been immersed in the realm of embodiment for over twenty-five years. Formed by decades of exploration, inquiry, research and creation, my offerings are simple yet elegant syntheses that draw inspiration from the rigorous art of Shadow Yoga, the subtle craft of Body Mind Centering and the innovative laboratory of Embodied Flow, as well as the subtle energetic and philosophical elements of Non-Dual Tantra, Taoism and Traditional Chinese Medicine.

A lover of poetry and the liminal, I am inspired by cadence, flow and rhythm and am fascinated by the portals of movement, breath and the imaginal as gateways to embodied awakening. My offerings are not linear pathways of postures, but are seamless weavings of forms and explorations that encourage the mind to surrender its usual grasping and strategizing, giving way to a more natural state of quietude.

In this way, my work involves creating space for a simultaneous unfurling of both quiescence and revelation, providing a context within which our human complexity can coexist with our natural divinity, in a way that is both subtle and formidable.

I invite you to cross the threshold into a realm of embodied inquiry, a place where your mind can rest and your body can slip into a state of ease and availability. A realm where the art of yoga and the practise of embodiment coalesce, acting as ushers of remembrance and belonging.
