Renewal Tide Massage & Yoga

Renewal Tide Massage & Yoga Massage Therapy, Yoga Instruction and Yoga Health Coaching in the NOVA region and Washington DC.

Let the healing touch of massage and the clarifying practices of yoga and meditation be the charge for your physical, mental and emotional battery. In giving ourselves even a fraction of the time and energy that we give to others, we replenish our reserves, so that we don’t become depleted in the process of being the supportive and energetic partners, parents, children, friends, athletes, entrepre

neurs, co-workers and peers that we spend our lives being! Whether you are joining me for an energizing dive into the pulse of Vinyasa flow yoga, or we are taking a more restorative and therapeutic approach to your yoga practice; regardless of whether we mobilize the joints in an invigorating Thai massage, or allow the waves of relaxation to wash over you in a nurturing table massage, you will leave our session relaxed, renewed and ready to re-enter the flow of your life. Alex Moldoveanu has been practicing yoga since 1999, and teaching yoga since 2002, when she got her initial 200hr teacher training certificate from Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health. Since then she has incorporated more Vinyasa flow to complement Kripalu's Hatha style of yoga, attending trainings with Vinyasa teachers and mentors Shiva Rea and Shannon Paige. Also, studying and practicing Buddhist philosophy and meditation with her teacher Genla Chokyi Dhakpa, Michael Gregory has added a joyful peace and freedom to her approach to yoga practice. Today her style and flow revolve around the breath as teacher, guiding her into deeper expressions of organic, fluid grace combined with power channeled from within. Always drawing back to the midline to tap into the truest, most mindful manifestations of the present moment helps her joyfully bring her students to this place within their own practice. Having obtained her massage certification from Boulder College of Massage Therapy in December of 2005, Alex has been practicing massage since. She traveled to Thailand in 2006, and in Thai massage Alex found a happy marriage of her two loves, yoga and massage. She had the opportunity there to take retreat at a Thai Buddhist monestery, giving her a chance to deepen her practice of meditaion and mindfulness. All of these experiences serve to create a deeply authentic experience within her tapestry of practices. Alex currently teaches yoga and practices massage in Vail, Colorado.

Jaisalmer had the most beautiful, intricately carved facades of havelis 😍 The time and patience that it must’ve taken to create these masterpieces reflecting a true meditation. Beginning to see how devotion, dedication and meditation are more than just moods to enact when we sit down to our practice, but rather, how, when infused in one’s every step…every breath, they create a masterpiece out of a life✨

Mom, your light was so bright. You shone like a ray of sunshine and when you were in the room, everything else was made brighter. And now that you’ve gone, everything feels more bleak and yet also still bright. I don’t know how you do that. Your unique, mysterious magic, I guess.

The ferocity with which you lived and loved made for a life of memorably high highs and low lows as well, but your redemption arc was the most epic thing I’ve ever had the honor to witness. An inspiration in courage and leaving societal constraints and limitations in the rearview mirror to the very end.

I love you so much, my heart is exploding and my eyes wonder when this reservoir of tears will run dry. Another mystery.

In your wake, I’m left with the lessons of thoughtful and generous giving, of welcoming with arms open, of enjoying this life with every cell of my body and unapologetically living in bold, full color.

Mi-e dor de tine 💔

Don’t know who needs to see this, but if this is the only thing I see from now on, I’m good. This is all I need to remember. 🤍🤍🖤

It’s been a hell of a year, and though right now I’m in a season of extreme stress, as I start looking back through, I see that actually, it’s been pretty great so far.

Did some traveling, had some sweet family moments, a little catching up with friends, some sassing the camera, and mostly filling up my camera roll with cute pictures of my dog. Made a big dream come true in taking my kiddo to Romania….its been pretty epic, actually.

I am blessed with so much love and support. As the year goes by and life gets so real, I find myself leaning on my supports so much…maybe too much. The group chats, the marco polos, the walks in nature…it’s all holding me together. Seeing that support and feeling it in a time when it’s so easy to spiral into fear is my favorite takeaway of 2023.

Pic 9 looks like a mug shot and is the pic that I sent with my application for a visa that’s been playing really hard to get. Why you have to look like a hardened criminal when you are taking official pics is beyond me and just makes me laugh. I’ll just leave the rest - sweet, fun pics as a reminder of things sweet and sassy 💁🏻‍♀️

So thank you to all the beautiful souls who hold me together every day. I look forward to returning the favor someday ♥️

Moving into 2024 with so much hope and space for grace and potential.

Happy New Year, y’all!!
