About Alejandra Quiceno
Alexandra Quiceno best known as Alex; Venezuelan native, is a creative being, architect, photographer and meditation teacher living in Barcelona (Spain) with her partner and dog. After graduating from architecture school in The Andes (Venezuela) she moved to Caracas where yoga found her and she started to get in love with it and how to incorporate it in everyday life.
After years of trying to meditate consistently with no luck, she stopped forcing that habit on her and it’s only after practicing Ashtanga yoga that she feels the urge to try it again. It took about 6 years, an unhappy job and sense of loneliness to build a consistent meditation practice.
Fast forward to 2019 when working in a heritage restoration company, she felt the need to connect deeply with her as the work was very demanding physically and mentally that she started to “unintentionally” build a meditation practice. Also, thanks to online classes she took Kino Macgregor’s teachings on how meditation was such a fundamental tool for everybody.
Everyday she would wake up at 05:00 to sit for meditation and then Asana practice before going to work with a sense of calmness. And that is how it all started. Since then everyday has been an opportunity to understand who she was and to connect with herself in mind and spirit.
That led to deep inner work to find out what she really wanted to pursue in life, being a meditation teacher was the answer. Giving back to the universe all that was presented to her. She now leads creatives to integrate meditation practice into their busy lifestyle to help them have peace of mind.
She shares her insights and daily life in @theshantipeople where she loves to connect with others.
