Selvática: (spanish, adj.) of or pertaining to the jungle; (esp, adj.) relativo a la selva.
Yoga Selvática works with the inspiration and wisdom of nature to create accessible resources for self-care and living well.
My name is Lexie
& I am hatha yoga teacher based in Quintana Roo, Mexico.
Since being certified in 2015, I have taught yoga in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. My classes focus on self-acceptance, alignment, and staying with the breath.
Rooted in the Hatha tradition, my work is interdisciplinary and greatly influenced by Vinyasa, Kundalini, and Yin technique. I am committed to making yoga accessible to everyone, everywhere.
I live on a corn farm with my husband and our many animals in the the central jungle of the Yucatán Peninsula.
Yoga Selvática was born in the Spring of 2023 when I returned home to the jungle after living on a little island in the gulf of Mexico. After months of teaching public classes everyday on the beach, I wanted to find a way to keep offering yoga to people around the world.
When I arrived home to the abundance of the natural world, I realized there are many other aspects of daily life here equally worth sharing.
Yoga Selvática works with the wisdom and inspiration of nature to create accessible resources for self-care and living well. Since many modern comforts, luxuries, and short-cuts simply don’t exist in the jungle nor in the nearby towns, life here demands a lot patience, improvising, and DIY creativity.
That’s why you’ll find many of my jungle recipes and wellness tips call for intuition as a staple ingredient. Out here, we eyeball the turmeric dose and sweeten to taste. We try to listen to nature’s rhythms and follow her lead. It is radical work to slow down for life despite constant pressure from the world to move ever-faster.
The jungle is a magnificent teacher, and I am here to do my best to translate her wisdom for you.
In addition to yoga and farming corn, I am a student of Vipassana Meditation and a trained herbalist through The Hawthorn School of Plant Medicine.
The Yoga Selvática blog synthesizes these practices and more into applicable information for happy and healthy living.
Emergent themes in the blog include: women’s health and autoimmunity, resources for mindfulness practices like yoga, meditation & plant medicine, and my healthy jungle-inspired recipes. Sometimes guest writers also contribute to the blog, offering their acquired wisdom to the Yoga Selvática community.
On the yoga section of the site, you can find free yoga practice videos from my YouTube Channel.

Thank you for being here!
with love,
Lex of the jungle xo
