Andrea sees yoga asana and meditation as timeless guides, helping us to uncover our true nature and embrace the fullness of our past, present and future possibilities. Over the years, yoga has been a source of inspiration, focus, and clarity in Andrea’s life.
As a teacher, she weaves authenticity and connection into her fluid, dynamic movement practices, creating spaces where students can explore, grow and find their own inner wisdom. Andrea ignites tapas (self-discipline) in her vinyasa classes and svadhyaya (self-study) in her yin and meditation classes. She recognizes that each yoga class is unique as each student brings their own shen / spirit / alma and contributes to the collective energy of the practice. Through the simple yet profound act of breathing together, Andrea believes we find the deepest expression of community.
Andrea humbly honors her teachers and their teachers for they have built the foundation upon which she stands. She offers them gratitude for their devotion, guidance and everlasting wisdom.
