Retreat

The retreat led by Alexandra was a truly holistic experience. Every detail was thoughtfully planned — from the accommodations and nutritious meals to the daily activities. I never had to worry about anything, which made it easy to fully relax and be present.

I came home feeling renewed, well rested, and detoxified, both physically and mentally. The location was absolutely beautiful and provided the perfect setting for the somatic work Alexandra guided us through. Her knowledge, compassion, and genuine care for everyone made the experience exquisite.

I highly recommend Alexandra's retreats to anyone looking to reconnect with their own body. I'm so grateful I had this experience.

Holistic Somatic Retreat

I attended Alexandra's Tuscany yoga retreat in September 2025, and the experience was magical. The villa she selected was nestled in a beautiful Tuscan town, with stunning outdoor spaces perfect for yoga, group sessions, shared meals, and quiet moments of relaxation.

Alexandra prepared delicious Ayurvedic meals, which we shared as a group — each one sparking meaningful conversations and genuine connections. The international group she brought together quickly became what I now consider my global family.

Alexandra is a truly special person — someone you don't realize how much you need in your life until you spend time with her. She balanced flexibility with meticulous planning, creating a space where I felt both safe and cared for throughout the journey. I left the retreat transformed — mind and body renewed.

Holistic Somatic Retreat

This was the perfect blend of relaxation, expansion and exploration of the body, soul and spirit — and Italy! From a Tuscan villa in a vineyard, to medieval cities, hot mineral waterfall (White Whale), this far exceeded any expectations.

Alexandra prepared the most delicious Ayurvedic meals with ease and grace. The fellow participants were diverse in background, age and experience, but all brought a willingness to share and connect — memories I will carry for a lifetime!

Holistic Somatic Retreat

My recent 5-day wellness retreat was transformative, and that is largely due to our incredible host, Alexandra Ni. While the location and activities were wonderful, it was Alexandra's unique presence that made it perfect.

She operates like a maestro, conducting the flow of the day with remarkable intuition and empathy. She didn't just follow a schedule — she felt our energy and adjusted with grace, ensuring we had a rich, unhurried experience.

The most telling moment was during her sound therapy. When distant church bells began to chime, she didn't just continue — she paused, inviting us to absorb the unexpected beauty. In that moment, she taught us that wellness is about being present, a lesson she embodies perfectly.

Retreat

Этот ретрит стал для нас настоящей перезагрузкой. Получилось замедлиться, выдохнуть и вернуть контакт с собой. Все было продумано до мельчайших деталей! Практики были выстроены очень бережно и глубоко — без давления, с вниманием к ощущениям, поэтому тело расслаблялось, а ум постепенно отпускал контроль.

Отдельно хочу отметить атмосферу принятия и спокойствия — можно было просто быть, без ожиданий и сравнений. Не могу не отметить кухню. Это было не просто питание, а отдельное удовольствие и часть опыта.

Уезжали с ощущением внутренней тишины и ресурса. Спасибо Сашеньке, не только за профессионализм, но и за глубину, бережность, и душевное тепло.

Retreat

Досвід ретріта з Александрою Ні, неможливо порівняти не з чим. Це м'яке збагачення емоційної стабільності, непомітне спостереження того що не визнавав чи не відчував в собі раніше.

Впевненість яка зростає наче незвідки щоб рухатись саме своїм шляхом, в своєму ритмі — і все це з мого власного досвіду тільки частина того що відбувається від енергії яку має Саша, від простору яке вона створює і наповнює чимось магічним і текучим.

Це досвід який прагнеш переживати знову. Досвід в якому відчуваєш повагу і вдячність до Александри.

Somatic Experiencing & Compassionate Inquiry

No words can express how powerful Alexandra’s work is. She is unlike any therapist I have worked with before. I have tried many forms of therapy, including conventional therapy, hypnosis, and family constellations, but nothing compares to the support I am receiving from her.

Her approach goes beyond traditional talk therapy by helping me recognize how my experiences affect my emotions, beliefs, body, and reactions. Through Somatic Experiencing and Compassionate Inquiry, she has helped me understand myself in ways I never thought possible. I am learning to love myself, and that is incredibly powerful.

Alexandra creates a space where I feel completely safe, seen, understood, and not alone. She is compassionate, intuitive, patient, and deeply present. She never tells me who I should be. Instead, she guides me toward understanding my own truth by helping me remember who I was as a child and reconnect with the dreams that once inspired me and with the person I have always been underneath the pain.

Our work is changing how I see myself. I am learning that I am not broken, that my feelings make sense, and that I deserve a safe, authentic, and fulfilling life. Alexandra is helping me find the courage to make meaningful changes, fight for a better life, and move forward with a strength I did not know I had. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Trauma-informed work

Her trauma-informed work helped me through one of the darkest times in my life. I am so grateful for her as a person and teacher. I met her through taking one of her somatic yoga classes and that also opened my eyes up to a whole new version of healing. Highly recommend her for all your healing and personal needs.

Щиро рекомендую Олександру як неймовірного, чутливого фахівця з соматичних практик!

Олександра провела сесію з моїм сином, і я вражена результатом. Незважаючи на те, що для нього це повністю новий, незвичний і поки не зовсім зрозумілий досвід, усе пройшло напрочуд органічно.

Олександра володіє дивовижною інтуїтивною силою, тонкістю взаємодії та чутливістю. Вона зуміла м'яко створити настільки безпечний простір, що син із радістю відкрився, легко пішов на контакт і довірився новому процесу. Безмежно вдячна Олександрі за цей супровід і справжність у роботі!

Олександра, хочу подякувати вам за соматичні практики та ваш глибокий супровід!

Мене вражає витонченість вашої взаємодії, ваша чутливість та доречність кожного слова й руху. Ви володієте дивовижною інтуїтивною силою — вмієте м'яко вести саме туди, куди потрібно, навіть коли сам цього не очікуєш.

Під час занять, зіштовхуючись із чимось неочікуваним чи невідомим у собі, я жодного разу не відчула розгубленості. Завдяки вашій взаємодії та супроводу в мене з'явилося щире відчуття справжності та цілковитої довіри до нових для себе практик.

Alex brings a truly magical experience at her lovely outdoor studio. She's highly skilled, empathic and has a warm, relaxed, very spiritual persona. It's my favorite yoga class I've ever taken and I've been doing yoga for decades!

Melissa Ross, First Coast Connect, PBS

I have had several yoga instructors throughout the years and Alexandra's teaching style is incomparable. She does not only have a deep understanding of each pose but also explains it in such great details that you get to truly experience and enjoy the benefits of each pose. Her calm energy also creates a peaceful environment.

She also pays good attention to the way you are moving on the mat or the trapeze and makes sure that you are doing it the right way, to the point where I feel I am getting a private session. She also incorporates new poses in every session so you never get bored. I recommend you take a class with her. You will not be disappointed.

I was very fortunate to have Alexandra as a visiting yoga instructor for a week of classes in Mexico! I do not practice yoga often but I never had any trouble following. She does an amazing job talking you through the poses as well as demonstrating them and offering modifications. She is amazing and I looked forward to joining the class each day. Thank you Alexandra!

Whether you are simply looking for a mindfulness yoga practice to help you regain your center after a heavy work week, or looking for an inspiring instructor that will guide you on your Atma yoga path and journey, I encourage you to seek out ANI-concepts — Alexandra is a caring and thoughtful soul that we are lucky to have here in Jacksonville!

Alexandra creates an incredible yoga experience in every aspect. Each session is designed thoughtfully and with purpose. I have seen the reactions of students that experience their first class with her, and each is as impressed as I was with my first practice.

Her mantra of teach the student not the poses is easily facilitated by her in depth knowledge of physiology and innate acute awareness. You can't make a better choice.

Donald Francisco

Group Aerial Yoga

I love aerial, my first experience at your studio with Suspension Yoga with Alexandra was magical and beyond my expectations. She is very knowledgeable, caring as she teaches with great detail. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming.

Love Alexandra's music choices for the class. The class flow was wonderful — challenging strength component in the beginning and very relaxing and healing at the end, a true experience of yoga balance of the mind/body unity. I took my husband Grant Helm with me and we both walked out of the class walking on clouds. You will see us back.

Gisela Reis

Group Aerial Yoga

A friend offered to treat me to an aerial yoga session with Alexandra, and I was hooked. I was initially attracted to the wonderful stretching variations available with Alexandra's guidance and the apparatus.

I soon discovered that the sequence of her sessions, from soup to nuts, creates a fabulous feeling of relaxation and well-being. I like that there's plenty of laughter and good-natured banter during the sessions, rather than unnecessary slugs of enforced spirituality and quasi-religiosity, which I've heard reports of at other yoga providers. Try it!

Richard Shieldhouse

I am definitely not proficient in yoga and I'm not very flexible. But, Alexandra's knowledge and patience is incredible. She gracefully took on a group of newbies for us and spotted us and taught us so many wonderful things.

I was very stressed when I arrived. But, I left feeling relaxed, strong, and accomplished. She provides the most calming environment and gets your heart and mind in the perfect place. Her classes are A++++!

Sarah Watson

Group Aerial Yoga

I feel like I should first state that I am new to Yoga and by no means consider myself experienced. With that said, what I appreciate more than anything about Alexandra, is her patience and instructional acumen: Alexandra has an ability to give criticism and critique, with encouragement and subtlety.

Each class I have attended, I have come away having learned something new and genuinely wanting to build on my own foundation. Alexandra's passion for her science/art is irresistible and I find myself eager to participate in every class!

Consistently enjoyable, laid back and effective. Working over the last 2 years has done wonders for my back pain and helped me build strength and flexibility I lost a long time ago. I cannot implore you enough!

Alexandra Ni does an excellent job of guiding you through an individualized strengthening and mindful practice. She also brings calmness and clarity while guiding you through poses. She creates a peaceful and beautiful environment. It is such a great way for me to start my day. I highly recommend her.

Lisa Laettner

Group Aerial & Mat Yoga

A friend suggested that I tried Alexandra's trapeze classes after I broke my ankle and was having a hard time with mat yoga. She did a great job with working around — and helping heal — my injury.

And, as an added bonus, being able to practice inversion postures (something I can't do on the mat due to an old injury) in the silks helped ease some of neck and back pain, as well. Now that my ankle is healed, I am also taking some of Alexandra's mat classes to help maintain my form and relax.

Heather Schatz

Doing yoga with Alexandra is my weekend treat. She is so knowledgeable, conscientious, and patient. My practice has gotten stronger with her guidance. I always leave her classes feeling like a better version of myself. If you haven't tried her classes — do it.

I love yoga because it improves my flexibility, balance, posture, decreases my stress level, and it's low impact exercise which is good for me as I get older. Alexandra's yoga class was the best I've ever had, not just for what it did for my body & mind but I also loved her teaching style. I need another session with Alexandra, like NOW.

Mimi Dinh

Private Yoga Trapeze

From the first moment you meet Alexandra you realize that you're in the presence of a grounded, generous, and radiant personality. These qualities, along with her empathetic understanding of what the client needs, make her a natural born teacher.

The inversion/trapeze private lessons I took with her were fascinating and unexpectedly fun. She is a person you would want to know even if you had no interest in yoga at all. We're lucky to have her in Jacksonville, and it's a pleasure to be able to recommend her unreservedly.

Alexandra's gentle informative way of guiding through the movements, allowing the time for the body to respond, encouraging you at every step. A true belief in the formats and a perfect way to deliver. I will continue to work with her at every opportunity.

Somatic Movement + Biofield Tuning

Alexandra is a gifted healer. From her gentle nature and soothing voice every session is an experience I leave feeling my soul has been nourished. I've been to her yoga and somatics classes, soundbaths and biofield tunings — something I've never experienced.

It was very powerful but really hard to describe. You just need to try it. I saw various images in my mind's eye and when we were finished she described to me what the session entailed and what things were brought to the surface. I was blown away. It felt like a lifetime of therapy condensed over two sessions. It's really special work that she does. I highly recommend ANI Wellness for anyone seeking healing and becoming more in tune with their bodies.

Biofield Tuning

I have had numerous tuning sessions with Alexandra, with terrific outcomes. She is extremely educated, thorough and engaging. She is always spot on with her findings and has really helped me release the energies that don't serve me anymore. I highly recommend working with Alexandra, as the results have been very beneficial.

Sylvia Vasquez

Biofield Tuning

Every once in a while I'll encounter someone who I innately trust as soon as I meet them, and Alexandra is a prime example. My soul is automatically at ease and comforted by her energy / presence she brings into every situation.

Over the course of the past year, I've been hyper-focused on inner-healing work. There were certain portions of my own healing work that I was trying to solve, but there was a certain resistance that just kept coming up preventing me from moving forward. I knew the gear I needed to shift, but it just felt stuck, and that's exactly what the tuning seems to have done for me: serve as a lubricant to shift that gear. It's as if my inner-work was like finally putting on glasses, and the tuning came in to just wipe the smudge off of the glasses. Everything just became more crisp in clarity.

If I can offer any advice — release whatever expectations you have before going in and know that you're in safe hands. I can't imagine someone more comforting to guide me through my first experience in biofield tuning. Forever grateful!

El lugar también te brinda paz y muy buena vibra. Gracias, gracias, gracias. Infinitas bendiciones para ustedes siempre.

Mini-retreat

This was an amazing mini-retreat under a canopy of trees with soothing music. Alexandra led us through yoga poses and movement with great care. She explained each pose both mechanically and spiritually.

After yoga, we were invited into her home to enjoy an Ayurvedic lunch, where we were educated about the foods and spices that we gleefully consumed! This was an amazing escape from the rat race and a reset to attend to self care both in body and spirit. I plan to attend all of her retreats if space is available!

Laura Grippa, MD

Mini-retreat

Experiencing Alexandra's yoga class [mini-retreat] in a comfortable outdoor tranquil setting makes for a novice like myself want to seek to adapt a healthy, holistic lifestyle. Alexandra's calming nature flowed through naturally while personally guiding and educating foundational aspects of yoga in a relaxed mode.

Delightful ayurvedic lunch and dessert was served afterwards. Alexandra's mini retreat will refresh and rejuvenate your mind, body and spirit.

Susan Asher

Private mini-retreat

A former coworker of mine mentioned how she attended a private trapeze class with her sister and she sent me Alexandra's website. I looked at it a few times, but I didn't attend a class until 9 months later. I'm so glad I did.

For my 30th birthday, a few of my friends joined me for a private mini yoga retreat. We had such a great experience, from the practice to the meal, to the conversation. I am forever grateful. Alexandra is such a grounded and genuine individual who works so well when instructing yogis of all level!

I highly recommend Alexandra's yoga mini-retreats. Alexandra's holistic approach to wellbeing is evident in her yoga teaching. The yoga class was a physical and spiritual delight, and the positive effects stayed with me for days.

Alexandra is extremely attentive to her students and her gentle touch works wonders when she adjusts students' poses. The nourishing vegetarian lunch Alexandra served was delicious. The entire retreat was a magical experience.

Olga Malosh

Private Group Yoga Class

We were all at different levels of experience, but Alexandra keenly adapted her instruction to our specific needs while still keeping the overall direction of the class moving. As necessary, Alexandra gently assists (hands on) each individual to get the correct posture.

She has a "zen-like" personality and voice that was so calming and reassuring as we moved through the 75 minute practice. Loved the outdoor setting. Highly recommend.

Peter Bailet

We had an amazing time! Alexandra was so pleasant and made my entire group feel so comfortable. She helped to coordinate a private session for me and my colleagues and we couldn't have been happier. Highly recommended! We did our session in the outdoor studio and the weather and ambience were both beautiful. Highly recommended!
