Work With Alexander
Alexander Schimmel
Alexander has spent the past decade guiding transformational experiences through yoga, somatic leadership, men's work, retreats, and ceremony. He is the founder of Awaken Leadership Academy and creator of immersive leadership trainings that have mentored hundreds of students and facilitators worldwide.
His work weaves together somatics, storytelling, ritual, movement, and ancient wisdom traditions — creating powerful experiences that invite people into deeper authenticity, embodied presence, and remembrance of who they truly are.
Alexander believes that the path back to ourselves is found through the body — and that when we remember our own medicine, we become a medicine for the world.
Lives Transformed
Alexander's training allowed me to take my next step into leadership. His ability to hold space while challenging you to go deeper is unlike anything I've experienced.
This work cracked me open in the most beautiful way. I came home to myself. The ceremony, the movement, the community — all of it wove together into something I can't fully put into words.
I've done a lot of personal development work. Alexander brings something ancient and alive to every session — there's a real depth here that's rare and precious.
