Alexandra Bohlinger is an Osteopath and classically trained Pilates practitioner based in East Grand Rapids, Michigan. With over 25 years of combined expertise in osteopathic medicine and Classical Pilates, she is one of the world’s few “2nd-generation” teachers, certified directly by Romana Kryzanowska—protégé of Joseph Pilates himself. She completed postgraduate training in clinical osteopathy, practiced medicine in London, UK, before founding her award-winning Osteopilates practice in early 2022.

Deeply passionate about timeless healing wisdom, Alexandra honors Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine, who declared: “The natural healing force within each one of us is the greatest force in getting well.” She embraces Andrew Taylor Still’s core osteopathic truth: structure governs function—the body’s alignment and mechanics dictate how it moves, performs, and heals.

She rejects quick fixes and reductionist diagnoses that lean heavily on scans like X-rays or MRIs. Instead, Alexandra views the body as a whole, interconnected system, using precise hands-on treatment and gentle manipulation to remove obstacles to healing. She then guides clients into movement as medicine—echoing Joseph Pilates’ own conviction that “change happens through movement, and movement heals.
