Meditation & Readings

Alexandrea Lightfoot

Picture
Alexandrea has been re-connecting people with their self-love and self-awareness for 20 years, from inspiring the inner heart with song or deep loving therapeutic conversations. As an intuitive reader, life coach, medium and meditation coach, this former Jersey girl and New Yorker traded the glitter of the Great White Way for the sacred sites of Ormond Beach, Florida. Today, her office overlooks the ancient and serene Tomoka River. With a Bachelor's of Fine Arts from the NYU Tisch School of the Arts, and having studied under venerated meditation teacher and best-selling author of The Power of Intention, Dr. Wayne Dyer she now co-owns and operates Platinum Health, Fitness & Yoga with her husband where she challenges you to begin living life in the highest consciousness, incorporating scientific fact, faith, creativity, human connection, and inner truth.  When she’s not helping people raise the frequency of the human condition, she can be found reading the Harry Potter series in her backyard hammock to her son William, rocking out every high note in Celine Dion's Power Of Love Album, meditating surrounded by her collection of too many (yet never enough) stones and crystals, or eating Southern buttermilk fried chicken from her neighborhood bistro. Are you finally ready to shed the illusions of fear, confusion, and inaction? Want to know more about how you can discover your true, sacred self?  Follow her journey on Instagram @alexandrealightfoot, on her Facebook Fan Page, or find out more  at www.alexandrealightfoot.com and www.platinumormond.com/meditation . 


Yoga Teachers
​

Dee Pope, RYT 200

Picture
Dee Pope has been teaching various forms of exercise since she was 18, including Jazzercise (yikes!), Step Aerobics and Spin. Yoga had yet to be established here in the Daytona area, and it wasn't until she moved to Seattle WA. in 1998, where it was much more prevalent, that she discovered the practice and love of yoga. Upon her move back to Ormond Beach in 2013, she found herself with an opportunity to hit the reset button and after 16 years as a stressed out Realtor and wine bar owner, decided to take a very different path and become a certified 200-RYT yoga teacher.  Dee is excited to share the spiritual and physical aspects of the practice that has helped her discover mind & body awareness and health on and off the mat. As one journey ends, a new and truly inspirational one begins! Namaste

​Marjorie Bird RYT, 200

Picture
Yoga initially found Margie during her first pregnancy at a very basic level. As her practice evolved she realized the benefits were equally healing on emotional, mental, as well as physical level. Always a student, Margie has a background in Exercise Science and Nutrition, she is a certified 200-hour RYT instructor through Yoga Alliance, and continues to expand her knowledge and diversity through workshops and continuing education classes. She hopes to physically challenge, enlighten, transform, and help her students detach from the daily aspects of life under her unique and diverse style of instruction and guidance.Yoga has shown me how to be a more flexible, patient, still, mindful, compassionate, and loving human being. My intention is to help guide you on your journey and share the lifelong practice of yoga on and off the mat to find that sweet connection between breathe, body, mind and soul.
