Alexandra holds a Bachelor of Arts in American Studies and continued her studies with the Royal Shakespeare Company, refining a lifelong appreciation for language, presence, and disciplined craft. Her professional path has been notably diverse. She has worked as an anchor for The Lottery Channel, supported PBS documentary productions, guided visitors through the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, and spent several years in finance at a Boston investment bank. Across industries, she cultivated clarity, composure, and a deep understanding of audience and engagement, qualities that now inform her teaching.

Her introduction to yoga began during a particularly unforgiving Boston winter, when a friend handed her a VHS of the Ashtanga Primary Series. What began as a substitute for running became a devoted practice. She completed her 200-hour training with O2 Yoga in 2004, initially to deepen her own study. When a teacher unexpectedly failed to arrive for class, fellow students encouraged her to lead. She stepped in and was soon invited onto the regular schedule.

A birthday barre class years later sparked a similar shift. Drawn to its precision and intensity, she completed her barre certification in 2011 and later added Mat Pilates training in 2021. Her continued education includes Yoga for Veterans, Somatic Healing, Yoga Sculpt, Pilates at Barre, and Pilates Rise.

A defining moment early in her first training continues to guide her. Overwhelmed and convinced she did not belong, she prepared to withdraw. The program director responded simply, “You are exactly where you are supposed to be.” Those words remain a steady compass in moments of challenge and growth.

Alexandra’s teaching is alignment driven and thoughtfully structured, grounded in precise cueing and intelligent progression. She balances rigor with warmth, offering both challenge and support. Students often describe her classes as deceptively demanding, kind in tone and exacting in effect.

She is deeply committed to the mind and body connection and to somatic practices as pathways for resilience and healing. Her hope is that students leave feeling longer, stronger, empowered in their choices, and genuinely seen.

Outside the studio, Alexandra is married and the mother of three teenage children, including boy girl twins whose pregnancy required two months of complete bed rest, a profound lesson in strength and surrender. She treasures family, travel, reading, continued study, and her newest pursuit, mahjong.
