Florent Paillot

“Aleksandra was my first yoga teacher. It was obvious she knew what she was teaching. I felt so well in my body after each session with her. She's thorough and patient. I'm still practising yoga today, thanks to Aleksandra's love for yoga and her ways of transmitting her knowledge of the practice.”

Stephen Kremp

“I well remember lessons with Aleks in Germany. She did a lot for my posture and yes it was always motivational AND funny. You feel a competent and warm guidance. She is simply the best yoga instructor I ever had: very competent, compassionate, open-minded. She will give you advice you can feed on for the rest of your life....”

“I loved doing yoga with Aleksandra, I really learned a lot about my body with her, she always helps to push the limits gently, safely but surely. She is incredibly observant and has the capacity to give personal attention even when she has quite a big group. And also she has a great energy and sense of humour that make her classes a very joyful moment!!!”

Rita Ives

“I was so happy in Aleksandra's yoga class. It was this perfect balance of being encouraged to go further while also having the time and space to go deeply into each posture and into 'being' in my body. Aleksandra always could tell what part of the posture needed adjusting and gave lots of personal guidance, and encouragement.”

Joe Mellon

“I want my yoga teacher back in Lodeve! Aleksandra takes you as she finds you: he doesn't expect an unfit 60 year old like myself to bend like a paper clip, or do impossible asanas. That said after a month I was doing head stands and feeling a lot healthier.”
