"While carrying herself with poise and dedication, Andrea's yoga instruction and leadership extends far past the mat. As a messenger and guide of wellness, her inspirational nature leads her students to new levels of understanding and compassion of self and spirit. In concert, Andrea shares a balance between open collaboration and a personal sense of creativity: her guided meditation and yoga practice during the Takoja Retreat provided guests an opportunity to reconnect with nature, self and each other. Andrea's help and insight in developing the Full Moon Ceremony during the Takoja Retreat also provided guests with a balanced introduction to guided breath-work and meditation, creating a beautiful space for all to tap into their sensual and spiritual minds. Takoja was also excited to witness Andrea's sensitivity and care for place, resonating her own practice with the natural environment to inspire guests to reconnect with the spiritual center and energy of the land.
We are so blessed to have Andrea in our circles."

"I have been working with Andrea for a year and a half.  In that time both my physical and mental health have improved dramatically. She has become a friend as well as a physical and spiritual guide. It’s difficultto express what a positive influence she has been.  I just can’timagine my life without her."

"I have experienced other Yoga instructor's before. And I do enjoy a good stretch and sweat. I have to say Andrea is the first to make Yoga feel like a true work out to me. Where in the past it felt like breathing exercises. Andrea understands the rhythm of her craft and the experience was true to strength, agility and breath. Andrea made Yoga exciting for me and I can not wait for her next class. Thank you Andrea for sharing your gift and compassion."
