I spent one week in Ibiza with Alexa with a small group of like minded, fun loving Yogis, of all levels. Alexa is a truly inspirational, helpful, knowledgeable and fun teacher. Having not practised yoga for sometime, I was a little apprehensive initially, but Alexa soon allayed all my worries, by just being lovely, very calm, accepting and relaxed. This is not saying she didn’t stretch us to all our individual abilities! The retreat was beautifully situated, spacious and comfortable. The food was energising, healthy, varied and very tasty. I really could not have asked for more (maybe more time there??) it was perfect in every way - amazing teacher, Great company, Great accommodation and food and the sun shined on us = heaven. Thank you - would love to do it all again and again…….
I met Alexa in Ibiza on her 2018 yoga retreat. She immediately put me at ease with her calm and easy-going energy. She is a wonderful and knowledgable yoga teacher. Having practised with the same yoga teacher for the last 2 years, I was apprehensive about starting with a new teacher. Alexa's style of teaching suited me down to a tee. During her sessions, I was able to quieten my mind and connect with body and breath. I left each session feeling rejuvenated and with a deep sense of peace. The beautiful setting was an added bonus! I am so glad that I went on her yoga retreat as it truly opened me up to a new and invaluable experience
I’ve just returned from a week in Ibiza with Alexa. Simply can’t recommend her teaching enough. I attended with a small group and had a wonderful time, having tried to return to yoga for some time I have come back inspired and recharged. Alexa teaches in a way that encourages and supports each person to develop their yoga practice. I just had a fantastic time, a lovely group, lovely food and a very comfortable retreat.
Alexa's classes are well planned out, fun and engaging and Alexa is a generous teacher with so much to share. Over the years, I have become a regular at Alexa's yoga workshops, retreats and one-to-one practice and look forward to continuing my journey with her.
We had an amazing week in Ibiza with lots of yoga, meditation and pranayama. Alexa pays a lot of attention to the details of your poses and to you personally. I felt very at ease and peaceful during the week.
