Meet the Team: Alexandra Terpos
Alix is and always will be a Jersey Girl at heart. She left the Garden state to attend the University of Delaware where she graduated in 2006 with a BA in Biology and a BS in Exercises Physiology. She then moved to Boston, where she earned her Doctorate in Physical Therapy at MGH Institute of Health Professions in 2009.
After graduation Alix made her way down to sunny Miami. She specializes in Pilates-based rehabilitation for orthopedic and sports-related injuries as well as an experienced group instructor as well. She is a Polestar Pilates trained Pilates practitioner who is excited to share her love and knowledge of movement science with other people.
If Joseph Pilates were alive today what would you ask him to work on with you?
TEASER! What is your favorite and least favorite Pilates exercise?
Favorite exercise: standing leg series facing side and front because I just love working out my legs!
Least favorite: I don’t really have a “least favorite” I love any challenge thrown at me and if it’s hard, I just want to work harder at it, not dislike it…
What are you currently reading?
Currently reading “The Power of Now” Ekhart Tolle; I recently reread “Infinite Quest” John Edward.
If there was a fire in your apartment and you only had time to grab three things what would they be?
God forbid there was a fire in my house! BUT, my pups, pictures and artwork I have collected from all over the world, my starfish I have collected from all over the world.
Tell us a fun fact about yourself that some of your closest friend may not even know.
Fun fact: I’m actually inherently really lazy… I’d sleep all day and night on a beach if I could, but I feel bad wasting the time that I have been blessed with.
Describe your teaching style on one word.
Fun.
What makes you smile?
Everything has the capability of making smiling, it’s the context that matters. Sometimes on the worst of days or at the worst of times, all it takes is a simple “hello” or a cute puppy to make me smile… every dark cloud has a silver lining.
