Bio

With over thirty years of immersion in the realm of embodiment, my journey as a professional dancer, yogini, and somatics facilitator has been one of rigour, artistry, and deep dedication. Deeply informed by the philosophical elements of Non-Dual Tantra, Taoism, and Traditional Chinese Medicine, my approach is both nuanced and comprehensive. My practice weaves the multidimensional sensuousness of dance with the disciplined art of Shadow Yoga, the subtle craft of Body-Mind Centering, and the innovative explorations of Embodied Flow.

Drawing inspiration from poetry, cadence, and flow, I explore movement, breath, and the imaginal as portals to awakening. My transmissions are born from my own experiences and incarnate discoveries, as well as my yearnings and questions about being a sensitive, inquisitive human. I aspire to be present and firm while expanding my capacity to hold a broad spectrum of emotions and sensations.

I create spaces where quiescence and revelation unfold simultaneously, allowing our human complexity to coexist with our natural divinity in a way that is both subtle and profound. Through heartfelt, attentive guidance, I cultivate a deeper connection to Soma, the body imbued with soul and sensed from within, helping you feel more at ease and at home within yourself. My offerings are seamless weavings of embodied poetry that invite the mind to surrender its usual grasping, giving way to a state of quietude and embodied insight.

As a mother of three, I bring a sense of maturity and maternal care to my practice. The qualities I cultivate at home—listening, discerning, and holding space—are transposed into my work, enabling me to provide personalized care and attention.

My teachings act as a bridge to embodied awareness, inviting you to journey into unexplored territories of your inner landscape, feeling supported, nourished, and safe enough to awaken to a deeper, more integrated sense of being.

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

There is an exquisite care in the way Alexandra guides me into the terrain of my body. She softly calls me inward and I am carried again and again to different worlds, which overlay one another, where I meet myth, magic, and music—a choir chanting our collective belonging, my voice among the many. Her teachings remind me that my body is a portal to every body. She is devoted to exploring language and exuding poetry with her limbs and words. She is a cartographer and a painter, making art with the geography of our bodies. Her presence calls me into presence, and it is always an honor to be nourished by her devotion, curiosity, and infinite wisdom, which she offers humbly and I receive with relish.

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.

Lies, yoga & embodiment facilitator
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.

In addition to curating independently and collaborating with like-minded contemporaries, I am honoured to be part of the faculty of the Samavesa School of Yoga and the course Improgeneering at EPFL. These vanguard and creative entities explore the intersection of embodiment with a multitude of other fascinating and thought-provoking domains, allowing my unique stream of creativity and skills to find their place of belonging.

I give thanks and bow to my guides, mentors and muses along the way including Shandor Remete, Emma Balnaves, Alexandra Gilbert, Tara Judelle, Collette Davis, Rosalind Crisp and Julyen Hamilton.
