Alexa Torres

Alexa received her 200 hour yoga teacher certification at Soma Yoga School under the guidance of Amy Leydon and Todd Skoglund, as well as her Roll Model® Method practitioner certification led by Nancy Bellantoni in 2024.

With 18 years and counting of diverse movement practice (including yoga, pilates, and calisthenics) and experience teaching small group fitness classes since 2020, she brings a breadth of perspective to her instruction. In her classes she aims to create a light-hearted atmosphere where students can become curious explorers of the self. She is especially enthusiastic about how movement and self-myofacial massage can be tools for building a deeper relationship with one’s own body, mind, and spirit. 

Outside of teaching yoga, Alexa is a people manager at MIT, where she is keenly interested in the intersection of work, wellness, and the science and philosophy of happiness. She lives in Jamaica Plain and hopes to keep growing tomatoes on the roof outside her bathroom window.
