Hello July
This month, I want to share a deeply personal experience with you all – my daughter’s wedding. It was a day filled with joy, love, and a touch of nostalgia. As many of you know, I divorced my daughter’s father in 2007. Seeing him at the wedding was a significant challenge for me, stirring up a mix of old memories and emotions. Navigating this path was not easy, but I found solace and strength through practices that have become cornerstones of my life: breathwork and shamanism. These tools allowed me to create a sacred space within myself, to remain grounded, and to embrace the day with an open heart.
Breathwork has been a transformative practice for me, enabling me to stay present and calm in moments of stress. During the wedding, whenever I felt overwhelmed, I took a few moments to focus on my breath, to centre myself and reconnect with the love and joy of the occasion. Shamanism, with its deep roots in connecting to the spiritual realm, provided me with the inner strength to face past challenges and transform them into sources of growth. Creating sacred space is about finding peace within and letting go of what no longer serves us. This practice helped me to stay grounded, and it reminded me that every moment, even the challenging ones, is an opportunity for growth and healing.
I am grateful beyond measure for the tools and practices that have become an integral part of my life. They not only help me preach what I practice but also allow me to embody these teachings daily. The wedding was a reminder of the beauty of this journey, and the importance of staying true to ourselves and our paths.
And here is a lovely picture of Nikolai (my son).
Many of you have known him since he was 13 years old, helping me with the setting of our ceremonies.
Thank you all for being part of my journey. Your support and understanding mean the world to me. Life’s challenges can be daunting, but with the right tools and a supportive community, we can navigate them with grace and strength.
Wishing you all a joyful and peaceful July. We are indeed the ancestors of the future. With love and gratitude,
Yours in yoga, Alexandra

Every pilgrimage to the desert is a pilgrimage to self. There is a space in the centre of your being that is sacred, it is untouched by the perception of others, beyond the beliefs you’ve adopted that are serving you no longer, under the masks we use as protection, and it is right there waiting for you to make the journey home. The Sacred Return. This is the journey of uncovering all of the things that keep us from our most authentically expressed & empowered self. It is a remembering of your truth & a reclaiming of your connection to yourself & your body as a sanctuary. Are you ready?
Porto is for the romantic, for the dreamer and for the poet. It is for the traveller and the explorer – of both heart and land. This is yoga in foodie and wine heaven.

Finally, I recently had an incredible experience with a vortex healer (Emma Rose). The healing sessions were a blend of energy work and guided introspection, which allowed me to confront and process painful memories in a non judgmental environment.
