Alexandra Legouix
Although perhaps best known for her work as a sports tv presenter, Alexandra has over 15 years of experience as a yoga, meditation and mindset teacher.
After a rather innocuous fall, resulting in a broken spine, 3 prolapsed discs and a dislocated pelvis, doctors discovered she had a severe degenerative disc disease and was told she would never be able to do any form of high impact or heavy load exercise again.
So she focussed instead on yoga, meditation and her mindset. Within a few months it became apparent that the benefits she gained from practising yoga would not just be physical, but mental.
Within 6 months, Alex was stronger physically and mentally than ever before. While she now still endures pain, it is manageable, predominantly, she feels, as a result of having a new positive relationship with her body. She went on to train as a teacher in India and has since travelled the world teaching yoga in some wonderful places.
She has also written and created 6 top selling beginners yoga dvds, and reached #1 on the Amazon UK yoga charts.
Alex is also a qualified Integrative Psychotherapist and combines her love and knowledge of the holistic world with psychotherapy. She created the Mindset Group Ltd and runs a yearly, very popular wellbeing festival in Wokingham as well as many other wellbeing events (www.mindsetunlimited.co.uk).
Alexandra’s 3 mindset messages:
- Contentment is your baseline… it’s clutter that’s blocking it
- Your past is a teacher, not a master
- Self awareness and knowledge is power.
Food
“Maybe something I wouldn’t often have… Flavours… Colours… Maybe Thai or Asian?” Alexandra responded.
I absolutely love cooking Asian food, so after a little research to get inspiration, I decided to cook Thai green coconut curry with salmon. The fish delivery arrived on the morning of filming, so it was beautiful and fresh. I used as many greens as I could to make this curry vibrant with colours and flavours.
I was pleased to hear that Alexandra would attempt to cook this dish when she is visiting her relative in Asia a few weeks later. It turned out delicious! Sometimes, simplicity is the key to a beautiful dish.
You may find many similar recipes online, but perhaps the closest recipe is on this website.
