Andrea was drawn to yoga through the interesting blend of spirituality through body sense, philosophy and poetry. She began practice by studying with a variety of styles and teachers and almost immediately began training with alignment and heart-centered focused styles while maintaining an open internal curiosity toward direction of further study. Having been profoundly impacted through philosophy and restorative practices with Connie Glore, she became deeply inspired by Cheri Clampett and Biff Mithoefer along with becoming certified in Therapeutic Yoga and trained in Yin Yoga. Although starting with assisting classes, this quickly turned into teaching Restoratives and then to become RYT certified at the 500hr level with Daniel Orlansky. She has since furthered her restorative studies with Jillian Pransky, Billy Jo Joy and has taken her passion for hands on assists into becoming a Thai Yoga Massage Practitioner through Jennifer Yarrow and certified in Meridian Yoga with Daniel Orlansky. She has trained with Doug Keller and Todd Norian in Yoga Therapeutics, Carol Legro in Mindfullness Based Stress Reduction and meditation with John Chruchill and has sought further certification in Yin with Josh Summers.

She has since assisted Daniel Orlansky at The Omega Institute in Rhinebeck NY, and continues to assist in his workshops and classes.Andrea continues her efforts in offering a safe space to explore the richness of ones inner and outer experience while supporting students to tap into their own natural healing.
