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 food is rooted in culture, memory, and my surroundings. It’s shaped by where we are, what’s available, and what you 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 you 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 this is what that looks like.
