Alessandrina was born and raised in Paris, France. At just 22, she obtained her MBA in International Finance & Strategic Marketing with merits from France's leading School of Economics & Business Management, Universite Paris IX Dauphine. She also holds a BS in Economic & Political Sciences, obtained with merits from the same Ivy League university. She lived across 4 continents, traveling to over 55 countries over 7 years while pursuing a career in International Finance as the Director of Corporate Audit for leading financial institutions, including American Express, Citicorp/ Citibank and Visa International, a position she resigned from in 2000 after she gave birth to her little girl, Amandine Love Lerner.
In 2001, Alessandrina became the disciple of Swami Brahmavidyananda Saraswati, Director of the Institute for Holistic Yoga, an Ashram associated with the Satyananda Tradition of Yoga, from the lineage of Swami Sivananda Saraswati. She trained and practiced one on one under the expert guidance of Swami Ji for a few months in the science of Kriya Yoga and Meditation. Two years after completing her internship, Alessandrina was initiated into Surat Shabd Yoga, the science of Light & Sound Meditation by Saddhu Ram Ji, a Saint from the lineage of Maharaj Sawan Singh. Alessandrina used her experience mainly to grow her personal practice as well as teach privately and in Montessori and Charter schools on a small scale.
In early 2004, Alessandrina trained in Sound Therapy with Advanced Brain Technology and received certification as a provider of TLP, a therapeutic sound/ music stimulation program aimed at restoring auditory functions, enhancing brain functioning, and improving mental and physical well-being.
In 2009, she decided to dedicate herself to writing, something she had been doing her whole life as a hobby. She published 4 books, 3 of which are Modern Spiritual Poetry and a Spiritual Comedy entitled, "Spiritual Enlightenment in the Age of Cybersex". Alessandrina is involved in various charitable projects including "Dreamcatchers for abused children". She hosts a monthly Radio Show, the "Let Love Rule" Radio Show promoting ways to make the world a better place. She also writes the Enlightenment Column for the "Poetic Monthly Magazine". Alessandrina just completed her Yoga Teacher's Training in Power & Vinyasa Yoga at Miami Yogashala under Fred Busch's expert guidance and has come onboard Yogashala as a teacher.
Alessandrina has been a vegetarian/vegan for 25 years. She loves reading, writing Poetry, swimming, hiking, traveling and enjoys anything that involves Nature. Music is her first love (she plays bass guitar and drums). Yoga comes close seconds ;) Africa, where she lived for 3 years is her favorite continent and has some of her fondest memories. She dedicates all her free time to homeschooling her young daughter, her personal spiritual growth and loving life ;)
