Alexandra Holmes, E-YRT-200, is originally from the Philippines. She received her B.F.A. in Dance & Choreography from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2002. Her practice of Yoga began as a way to cross train for rehearsals, but soon became another passion. Alex is the grateful student of Shiva Rea, Kofi Busia, and is also inspired by Zhenja La Rosa.
Weaving together yogic philosophy, imagery, & precise alignment, her classes explore asana as a dynamic, whole-being experience. Her teaching style is light-hearted yet challenging, nurturing strength & flexibility of body, mind & spirit. Her sequences are creative, intelligently choreographed, & set to eclectic music.
In 2005, Alex had a brief but involved encounter with cancer. On a daily basis, she tries to remember how to enjoy life. Every year she returns home to be with family & eat mangoes in the sun. She is currently based in Philadelphia PA, where she is now a senior teacher at Dhyana Yoga, co-leads the studio’s teacher training program, as well as offering her own Dynamic Flow immersion. She has held workshops & retreats in the Philippines, Cambodia & Costa Rica, and assists her teacher Shiva internationally. In addition to her pending 500-hour certification, she continues her in-depth studies of anatomy & alignment. True to her love for dance, she continues to perform with companies in Philadelphia. When she is not teaching or practicing, Alex enjoys reading on the beach, hanging out with her dog, Danger, & traveling, be it a bike ride or Barcelona. She has been teaching since 2005.
