Alexandra’s yoga and movement journey began nearly two decades ago, when she first discovered the transformative power of connecting breath, movement, and mindfulness. What began as a personal practice quickly became a lifelong passion for wellness, self-discovery, and community.

In 2016, she discovered Buti Yoga and immediately fell in love with its powerful blend of movement, music, strength, and self-expression. She earned her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training through Buti Yoga that same year and has been teaching ever since.

As the owner of Vibes, Alexandra believes movement should be both challenging and empowering. Her classes are designed to help students build strength, improve confidence, reconnect with themselves, and leave feeling better than when they arrived.

Drawing inspiration from yoga, strength training, functional movement, and mindful movement practices, her classes are energetic, grounding, and accessible to all levels.

Alexandra’s goal is simple: to create a welcoming space where students can move their bodies, challenge themselves, and leave feeling stronger, more capable, and more connected to who they are.
