About
Alessandra grew up in beautiful White Rock, BC. She spent 10 years training intensively in ballet and contemporary dance, as well as piano with the Royal Conservatory of Music. She later competed in rugby and Olympic Weightlifting, where she achieved provincial and national standings. As a result of injuries, she turned to yoga for recovery. She was amazed to discover that yoga is more than movement, but also a personal journey, a practice of growth and discovery.
At the age of 15, Alessandra decided to take her 200-hour yoga teacher training. In addition to yoga teacher training, Alessandra has completed courses in RAD Yoga, Ayurvedic Science, Yoga Nidra, Trauma-Informed Yoga, and the Science and Practice of Mindfulness at Harvard University. She has also been taken courses for Schwinn Indoor Cycling and Personal Training.
Alessandra has experience teaching Power, Yin, Vinyasa Flow, Fusion, Barre, Spin, Fitness, Pilates, and Meditation. Her background in dance, music, and strength training is a great influence to her teachings. Her yoga practices are graceful and alignment-based, while her fitness classes are invigorating and challenging. However, she always emphasizes that everyone has a choice, and encourages students to listen to their bodies. Her goal is to create an inviting environment and community where her students feel empowered, supported, and inspired to achieve their goals.
Alessandra now lives in Vancouver, BC, where she studies in the Faculty of Science at the University of British Columbia. She is also involved in a variety of empowerment, mentorship, and mental health and wellness initiatives. She continues to teach yoga and fitness both on- and off-campus. Come visit her for a class!
