Merging With The Sacred
Guiding Women On Their Healing Path
with Ancient Practices + Ceremonies

Welcome, beloved.

Parashakti Alexandra blends wisdom from various ancient paths and practices to guide women through the journey of returning to their own truth, inherent wisdom, and the answers they already have within. she combines the 8 limbs of yoga, philosophy, plant medicine, and womb work to support moments of change and transition.

she is the founder of the As I Am: School of Yoga and Healing Arts, recognized under Yoga Alliance International. with over 600 hours of training in classical hatha yoga, pranayama, and philosophy, her teachings are informed by depth, devotion, and discipline. she has completed trauma-informed training through United We Om and brings this awareness into every offering—creating spaces that are safe, inclusive, and sensitive to various life experiences. during her pregnancy, Parashakti became certified in prenatal yoga, deepening her connection to sacred pregnancy and embodied feminine wisdom.

Parashakti leads online and studio yoga classes, as well as seasonal donation based pop-ups. she hosts 200 hour yoga teacher training programs, continued education courses, and international yoga retreats. she is also available for yoga teacher mentorship for those who are certified but want to strengthen their impact in classes, and 1:1 private sessions with seekers looking to go deeper in their personal practice.

in addition to supporting women through yoga, she leads women's circles, workshops, events, and private ceremonies where she incorporates plant medicine, womb wisdom, sound, journal prompts, astrology, cacao, and support through a sacred pregnancy journey.

Experiential Gatherings

nothing quite compares to the magic that is conjured when people who are devoted to learn about themselves, heal, and connect to Spirit come together. in community gatherings and retreats, friendships with people who get it and see you are formed - limiting beliefs are shed - clarity is found. these events bring us closer to our Truth, not just through the practices we engage in, but through the mirrors we become to each other in reflection, validation, and support.

love notes + testimonials

"since meeting at a yoga class of hers i attended a year ago, alex continues to have a profound impact on my life. her purpose shines through every facet of her work. whether it's guiding a student through a physical posture in a class or facilitating open-hearted reflections during a full moon circle, she always manages to help her students find a sense of belonging and a deeper level of Being. challenging me physically, emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually, alex has given me opportunities to develop my strength, welcome vulnerability, and grow toward my Higher Self. i would recommend alex's work to anyone seeking healing and is craving interpersonal and intrapersonal connections. she fosters a loving, supportive, and inclusive space for all people of any ability level and she embodies what it means to be a true yogi.

"i met alexandra at the perfect time. i was experiencing so many changes in my life when i took my first class with her. i instantly felt a connection to her and her teaching style. it was the first time i ever felt something deeeeep in yoga. at the time, it was out of character to introduce myself to new people, but i approached alex right after practice because she has an energy about her that makes me feel so comfortable. alex explains yoga terminology and education in a way that actually clicks. after more classes and some workshops, i went on her yoga retreat to costa rica and definitely upleveled my life during and after that trip. i began to live in ease as a result of everything i learned there. she is the kind of teacher that knows what you need, and also gives space for you to discover that yourself. from working with her, i began to come back to myself. alexandra has become a mentor, an inspiration, and a friend to me and i hope so many more people get to experience what she has to offer.

"alex and i connected in a yoga class at a studio near where i live. i didn't know much about yoga until i started practicing with her. she has helped me deepen my practice and guided me through a time of grief. i attended a retreat she hosted in the catskills upstate in new york. it was filled with welcoming love, spiritual support, adventures, and amazing food. i don't think words can describe how amazing and powerful that weekend was. i was able to disconnect from the world, really ground down, sit in the present moment and appreciate the life around me. i felt sooo much gratitude and love for the people i met, and for all things that i learned about myself, the purpose of life and nature. i have also gone to a few of alex's full moon ceremonies. she has been a great teacher and i highly recommend taking a class or attending a ceremony or retreat with her!"

"alexandra has been a huge part of my personal, spiritual, and yogic journey. i signed up for private classes with her after we met in a yoga studio and have since attended two yoga retreats with my third coming up in a few weeks. they have all been transformational. she knows how to plan a special trip for likeminded individuals to come together and dive deep into the essence of the Self. that first yoga retreat is what sparked my desire to dive deeper into the world of yoga. practicing daily and learning the origins of yogic philosophy opened me up to a whole new world i felt destined to explore. through that i developed the desire to become a yoga teacher and later that year pursued a ceritifcation program. i am so thankful to have alexandra in my life, we have grown close over the years, and i can't wait to see what is next with her on this journey!"

"alexandra's retreats and style of teaching yoga have honestly had a transformative impact on my entire life. i have never left a class without feeling more grounded, at peace, and loved. the connection she has to her own practice and how she teaches is SO MUCH MORE than just the physical aspect of yoga. i cannot recommend her work enough. take a class! you'll laugh ... if you're like me, you'll cry ... and you'll feel really, really amazing. after the first retreat with alexandra my head and heart felt calm but my soul felt like it was on fire with nourishment and community. i felt so lucky to have been a part of that weekend and i was so grateful for everyone who shared in it. i felt light, held, and full of life. that kind of connection is what we are here for.

"i really appreciate Alexandra. i feel like every time i have the opportunity to sit in on one of her classes or workshops i end up feeling so much more in tune with myself. she inspires me to feed my soul and spend more time workong on allowing my fiery, wild woman side to come out so i can accept all parts of me. i swear, every time she leads something and shares her personal experiences i feel so seen and it resonates so much. i'm so glad our paths crossed in this way because i really look up to her and feel like she's become such a motivating and important figure in my life. i really feel like participating in her ceremonies, retreats and general classes at yoga studios have helped in so many different ways."

"the full moon ceremony was truly magical and the only word i had in my head my entire drive home was WOW. i truly felt reborn after that night. being in a circle of women who are all just there showing up for themselves while supporting other women around them just felt so f***ing BADASS and empowering!! a circle full of "strangers" truly felt like home for me that night (and yes i am crying as i type this!) alexandra is so beyond gifted and i can't thank her enough for all of the love she puts into all of the things she does. not only has she bcome my friend through this work but she has become one of my best teachers and i cannot express how grateful i am to have her in my life. I LOVE YOU ALEX."

"i felt soooo good after the yoga retreat in mexico with alexandra. i think she is AMAZING. i feel more connected to my spirit guides than i allowed them to be in the past. i can't thank alexandra enough for that. i really can't. i truly found peace in the temezcal [sweat lodge] ceremony. it was so moving. i needed it. and i needed ALEX. on the retreat i said "i want to be a bird" ... "you will be", she said... "and you are one." i felt pure, raw, LOVE after that retreat, laughing, crying, healing, dancing, CONNECTING to mother earth - to my soul - and to all the beautiful people around me. i'm so thankful for Diana and Alexandra who are truly talended and blessed teachers who HEAL and love effortlessly."
