Formerly a schoolteacher in the Middle East, Alexβs journey to sobriety was a turning point that reshaped every part of her life. She now leads international retreats, teaches online yoga classes, and hosts the Sober Yoga Girl podcast, which has inspired thousands of listeners around the world.
Alexβs teaching is heartfelt and inclusive, rooted in the philosophy that yoga is for everyone β regardless of age, experience or background.

Rory Kinsella is a British-born, Sydney-based meditation teacher and sobriety coach who helps people shift their relationship with alcohol through the power of Vedic Meditation. After a successful career in journalism and digital media, Rory found meditation during an early midlife crisis period, and it became the foundation for a more purposeful life. Heβs since taught thousands of professionals, creatives and seekers how to establish a consistent meditation practice β and, for those ready to make a change, how to let go of alcohol for good.
As founder of Wise Monkey Way, Rory combines ancient wisdom with modern psychology to guide people through lasting change. His teaching style is practical and grounded, with a strong focus on nervous system regulation and identity transformation. Whether youβre new to meditation or deepening an existing practice, Rory brings a steady, relatable presence and a clear understanding of how to move from overthinking to inner calm.

The Story Behind Alcohol-Free Retreats.
What began as a professional connection over Zoom in 2020 quickly turned into a creative partnership grounded in a shared passion for meditation, sobriety and helping others live more consciously.
Rory and Alexandra first collaborated on podcasts, drawing on their own experiences of living alcohol-free and supporting others to do the same.
After finally meeting in person in Bali in 2023, the spark of connection deepened. Conversations turned into plans, and those plans became their first in-person retreat in Bali in 2024 β a gathering that brought together people from around the world who were seeking more than just a holiday. The response was overwhelming. People didnβt just enjoy themselves β they left changed. From that first success, Alcohol-Free Retreats was born.
Today, Rory and Alexandra continue to co-create immersive experiences that blend yoga, Vedic Meditation, self-inquiry and community. Each retreat is designed to be welcoming, inclusive, and genuinely transformative β a chance to step away from habits that no longer serve you, and towards a life of greater clarity, presence, and freedom.

"The retreat was an excellent balance of theory and practice for both meditation and yoga in an amazingly beautiful environment."
Gen, Sydney
"Itβs an experience that Iβll always remember! It helped me get out of my comfort zone, learn valuable tools for my sobriety, and step out of my daily life to reflect. The workshops were so informative and gave me a new perspective, but there were also moments of fun sprinkled throughout. Highly recommend!"
Priscilla, Washington State
"A wonderful experience I would recommend to anyone looking to explore meditation, yoga and behavioural change. With the gentle, fun, non-judgmental support of Rory an Alex, together with great connections I made with others in the group, I am so deeply happy to be free of drinking (and a couple of other bad habits!)"
