Alexandra Wunderer
With 15 years of yoga practice, I have dedicated myself to a journey of movement, mindfulness, and transformation. My education in Vinyasa, as well as pre- and postnatal yoga, has deepened my understanding of how yoga supports the body through different life stages. As a certified teacher and lifelong student, I am passionate about sharing the power of yoga to cultivate strength, balance, and inner connection.
Alongside my yoga journey, I have 15 years of professional experience in the tourism industry, where I have worked in various roles dedicated to creating exceptional travel experiences. My background spans travel planning, hospitality, and retreat curation, allowing me to combine my expertise in wellness with my deep understanding of the travel industry. By merging these two passions, I design transformative retreat experiences that inspire growth, well-being, and a deeper connection to self through movement, mindfulness, and exploration.
At every retreat, we collaborate with local experts who bring unique knowledge and insight into the themes we explore together. Whether it's movement, mindfulness, holistic wellness, or cultural traditions, these guest experts enrich the experience, offering deeper perspectives and authentic connections. Their presence allows participants to engage with the local community, gain new skills, and immerse themselves fully in the journey—making each retreat a truly transformative and enriching experience.
