    Alexandra believes deeply in the transformational aspects of yoga, reiki, eastern and western psychology, and bringing these practices to western systems.

    “When you can connect with your body through yoga asana and pranayama (the breath), you begin to develop trust within your body, as you begin to know yourself through the vehicle of yoga. Self respect develops. Within trusting yourself with a deep connection to the body, you can rewire your belief systems and create magnificent shifts within your life. When you own your breath, nothing else can own you. No situation, person, or perception. “

Kind Words From My Clients

  • You changed my life!

    My first experience with yoga was when in October of 2020, I attended a Friday night Yin class taught by Alexandra Pachter. This class was nothing like I have ever experienced before. After attending several classes with Alex, I started working seeing her for Yoga Therapy in May of 2021. I knew I needed my life to change-what I was doing wasn’t working. I needed guidance and tools to help support me along my journey and Alex taught me how to help myself. I had constant pain in my left hip, I just thought it was a normal part of my life to be in this pain. Alex taught me how and why we store emotions in the body. She taught me how to release these emotions through movement and other practices.

    As I continued to see Alex for Yoga Therapy and expand my beliefs, challenge old programming, and work towards healing my trauma, I decided to take Alex’s Yoga Teacher Training in August of 2021. I became a RYT200 in February 2022 and then jumped right in to become Therapeutic Yin certified as well under Alex.

    With the knowledge I have gained, as a Yoga Teacher ,I am now able to lead people into a deeper connection with the Self through what I have learned from Alex. I not only don’t have any more pain in my left hip, I now have tools to create a healthy and balanced way to process whatever life throws at me. I recently became Reiki Level 1 certified under Alex This is still only the beginning of my journey.
