MOVEMENT, FOOD, AND TRAVEL FOR PEOPLE LIVING A WELL & WONDERFULLY WILD LIFE.

I’m Alexa…or Lexy for short. Yoga teacher, private chef, and retreat host. For eight years I’ve been cooking and teaching movement on yachts, sun-soaked villas, poolside at hotels, and everywhere in between. As a New Yorker at heart who moved to the Caribbean almost a decade ago, my life moves between Bequia, Barbados, and Brooklyn. Wild Thing Wellness is what that life actually looks like in practice: movement that holds up when life is life-ing, food that tastes like nourishing joy, and experiences worth pausing for.

The yoga I teach is an invitation into curiosity, into the edges of what your body can hold, into the kind of stillness that makes you both stronger and softer. The meals I prepare are rooted in culture, memory, and my surroundings. My cooking is shaped by where I am, what’s available, and what my clients actually want to eat. Travel teaches what yoga and food can only point toward: that the world is vast, that other people’s ways of living are whole and valid, and that we are both very small and exactly enough.

This life is wild, grounded, curious, complicated, and full. It’s not an aesthetic. It’s not an escape. It’s a way of actually living, and Wild Thing Wellness is where it all collides.

What I Do

Yoga

An invitation into your body, not a performance of it. I teach movement that builds strength, creates space, and meets you exactly where you are. Private sessions, small groups, villas, corporate settings, and retreat facilitation across Barbados, SVG, and beyond.

Practice With me

Retreats & Events

Immersive 5–7 night experiences built around movement, culturally rooted food, and destinations that will literally make you say “wow” each day. I host my own retreats and I’m available to teach or cater yours.

Culinary Services

Food is memory, culture, and place on a plate. Globally influenced, locally grounded, always personal. I’m available as your private chef for yachts, villas, retreats, and clients wanting regular chef services.
