Alexandria Ianni
Assistant Trainer, Anatomy Lead
Alexandria came to the yoga practice through an academic class while studying Exercise Physiology at OSU. Her life has always been influenced by movement, but in asana she found the physicality of the postures facilitated much more than just a workout - a deeper connection & understanding of herself & others.
Quickly, the concept of vinyasa, to place something in a particular way, began to seep in to all aspects of her life. In placing her mind in a more grateful, gracious way & carefully considering her words & actions, she started to construct the life she wanted to live. & that included sharing yoga with whoever would listen.
Alexandria studied with Cyndi Lee in 2014 & brought her teacher's thoughtful, embodied experience of yoga back to Columbus. She continues to enjoy the gift of getting to be a student, learning more about the practice to continue to make her body & mind a hospitable place to live. Sharing these teachings with others as a career keeps her cup full.
