The Body Intelligence Philosophy

The Principle

Every body has a memory. Every muscle – a message.

The Method

Tension Decoding. Body Reprogramming. Somatic Alchemy.

The Promise

Physical and Nervous systems recovery and bringing peace and balance back to your life 

Pain Management

Pain can take over your days. I help your body release what’s stuck so it can move freely again. Many people feel relief right after the first session.

Anti-Aging 

Aging well means keeping your body open and strong. These sessions restore circulation, mobility, and energy so you can feel good in your body at any age.

Performance
Improvement

Whether you train or just want to feel stronger, this work helps your body recover faster and move with balance and power.

Stress 
Management

Stress builds up quietly. These sessions help your body relax and your mind clear so you can feel calm and steady again.

The Healing

Royal Yoga (Rāja yoga) Massage Therapy

My main passion is helping people bring their bodies back to the way they were meant to be, – balanced, strong, and healthy. If you are injured, tired, or in pain, I help your body reconnect with the natural ability it already has to heal itself. Healing is not about forcing the body. It is about helping it remember how to heal on its own. 

Work With Me

The Teaching

Learn to Awaken Your Body’s intelligence

Understand your body and unlock its natural intelligence. You will learn to listen to your body, restore balance, and move with strength and ease.

My teaching is about more than exercise. It is about learning to listen to your body, restore balance, and move with strength and awareness.

Body Intelligence

Learn to read your body’s signals. You will see how posture, muscle memory, and breath affect your health and performance.

I guide you through simple postures and breathing exercises to increase flexibility, strength, and focus. You will feel more balanced and energized.

I show you how to calm your mind and restore your nervous system. You will sleep better, reduce stress, and feel more present in your body.

Workshops and Online Classes

I offer live and online classes where you can practice at your own pace. You will gain tools to stay healthy, prevent injuries, and reach your body’s full potential.

The body is not a machine to fix – it’s a consciousness to awaken

A Path to Freedom

Hi, welcome to the Intelligent Body Design™

I spent years building strength, training my body, and pushing myself to the limit. I won titles as a professional natural bodybuilder, perfected my form, and became very strong. But even at my strongest, I felt something I could not fix with exercise alone, a quiet tension, fatigue, and pain deep inside. 

I traveled to India and Thailand to study for over five years what western culture could not fully explain. I learned the science of Ayurveda, Yoga, and traditional bodywork, discovering how the body communicates and how it can heal itself.

I realized that healing is not something I do to the body. It is something I help the body remember on its own. The body knows how to restore itself when guided with care, awareness, and precision.

Now my work combines ancient healing with modern body science. It looks spiritual but works biologically. What some call miracles, I see as the body remembering how to heal.

Welcome to Intelligent Body Design, where I do not chase strength. I help the body remember it.

The Best Way To Start is To Have A Conversation

An amazing experience that truly transformed my body. Thanks to Alexander, I feel like I’m in the body of a 15-year-old again. I work standing all day long doing makeup for TV productions, parties, and events, so I constantly struggled with lower back pain. Now I’m living without it — I sleep well, I move better, and I feel like my whole life has changed. I’m so grateful for his incredible therapy

Highly recommend Alexander's work! It was not just Thai yoga massage. It felt like a gentle reset for my whole being. I didn’t come with any pain or specific request, just openness to the experience. After over 1,5 hours, I realized how much tension was stored in my lower back — something I hadn’t even been aware of. Alexander’s calm presence and intuitive touch helped me release it. He also shared simple movements to support my body in everyday life, which I truly appreciated. Our conversation about the deep connection between body and life made the experience even more meaningful.

After my rotator cuffs injury I could barely dress myself. My physician told me "this is how you start falling apart" and prescribed me muscle relaxant. The pain was unbearable, I practically could not sleep - I could feel it through the night and no painkillers helped. Then I met Alexander, and after the very first session things started changing! He showed me how he works with a human body to restore its original design, - and his work started showing immediately! I finally could sleep and regained motions I was unable to do for months. I also noticed normalized appetite, and overall calmness. What Alexander does - is truly a miracle. If doctors didn't help you, ask Alexander for help. Thank you Alexander, you have literally changed my life!

One session with Alex and my body felt more relaxed and at peace than it had in a long time. I had more bodily awareness and available strength immediately. The next day I had more energy and focus as well. I highly recommend Alex’s services to anybody dealing with any condition!

Alex is a passionate and skilled wellness professional. He learned massage and yoga in the oldest and most respected schools in India and Thailand. He combines this ancient knowledge with his own experiences as an award winning athlete, body builder, and ball room dancer to create customized wellness programs for anyone fortunate enough to be his client. This individualized approach delivers extraordinary outcomes both physically and mentally. I highly recommend Alex to anyone who is serious about achieving their wellness objectives.

Alex introduced me to thai yoga massage two years ago and every time I book a session with him I feel immediate relief. While I started seeing him for my lower back problems initially, it’s become very clear that this practice also helps with my mental state. He’s incredibly knowledgeable about the practice due to his many years of experience and he’s very professional. It’s a bonus that he travels to you for service. I recommend booking as long of a session as possible, your body will definitely thank you for it!! Come back to NYC Alex!
