About Today's Guest

Alexa Idama has been working in the health and wellness industry for 18 years. She was a Certified Personal Trainer, Yoga teacher and Group Fitness Instructor before being introduced to Pilates by a colleague. From her very first session she was hooked! All the missing pieces she had not been able to find with other forms of movement finally came together. Joint issues that she had struggled with for years just went away. Her body finally moved as a whole with more awareness. She decided to become a certified Pilates teacher so that she could share her passion for and the benefits of Pilates with others. Alexa believes that every body is unique and strives to focus on the individuals needs and what works best for them. Her goal is to help as many people as possible become the healthiest version of themselves in mind, body and spirit.
