Welcome to this online platform, a virtual haven for embodiment practises that cultivate sensibility, sensitivity and awareness through the portals of the body.

If you have found your way here you may well have delved into this delicate yet profound realm of embodiment before, or perhaps you are following your intuition to a new place of discovery and poignancy, to a place of embodied poetry.

With love and gratitude,

Who am I?

My name is Alexandra. I am a 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 also draw inspiration from the subtle energetic and philosophical elements of 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 and revelation.

What is Embodiment?

Embodiment for me is a homecoming and a gateway to wholeness and holiness, a practise that goes well beyond logical understanding and theory and into the realm of ontological experience, meaning the realm of direct unfiltered experience.

What is so beautiful about embodiment is that it holds the possibility of a simultaneous stream of both quietude-of-mind and sensuousness-of-body. The potential is there to awaken to the wisdom, genius and beauty of what you hold within and to cultivate a sense of wonder, awe and appreciation for the genius of your body-mind.

I feel more alive, more attuned and more profound as a human being when I engage with embodiment practises. They give me a sense of depth and integrity that is both empowering and sustainable.

Praise

"Alexandra tenderly pulls together the threads of her lifelong inquiry into soul, spirit and the body as a divine vessel of moving poetry and creative expression.

She is a devotee of the word and each one is carefully placed as she tenderly guides us through thresholds into the liminal and the intimate. To who we are and what our bodies have to teach us."

What will I discover here?

The practices offered here explore an exquisite palette of corpo-energetic portals which, when embodied and imbued with awareness, offer slipstreams of depth, insight and beauty.

Each one is an invitation to drop into a nuanced sense of what it may be to embody different systems, structures and spaces of your body, whilst leaving space for the emergent and the unknown.

As you chart your body-mind in this way, cultivating intimacy and trust, your somatic experiences may deepen and segue into a subtle yet powerful form of embodied poetry that is anchored in sensuous knowing.
