It all started when...

Andrea has been practicing yoga since 1998, first drawn to the mat as a new way to move the body. Ironically, it was love at first savasana (resting pose).

The intention of this blog is to share moments on this journey to fellow seekers & explorers of the harmony and fullness of life’s experience.

Andrea's diverse and accessible classes and workshops are designed to offer participants a discovery experience. Her teaching intention is to hold safe and compassionate space for people to explore and to practice. Her approach is to expand people’s awareness of the many yoga, meditation, beliefs and ways of being. Her guiding principle is that we’re doing it ‘right’ when we meet ourselves and other with kindness and curiosity. Andrea’s view is that these many teachings can ultimately help us rediscover how to be present, embodied, and open to possibility.

Andrea (E-YRT 500) began her teaching journey in 2014 with an unforgettable 200 hours of training at the Sacred Seeds Yoga School with Jacqui Bonwell. She completed her subsequent 300 hour Yoga Teacher Training with David Vendetti. A life-long learner, Andrea has also studied Yin Yoga and Meditation with Sagel Urlacher and Josh Summers, Yoga Nidra with Sagel, Reiki I and II with Pat Iyer and Denise Cucalon, functional movement with Johnny Gillespie, Five Element Yoga® with Jennifer Reis, and Yoga for Trauma, Emotional Health and Healing with Kate Graham. She also completed trauma-informed Mind Body Wellbeing yoga teacher training with the African Yoga Project, is a Mindful Outdoor Experience Guide with the Kripalu School of Mindful Outdoor Leadership and is a member of the Yoga Alliance.

In addition to over a decade of experience teaching in a corporate environment (hello, work-life balance!), Andrea is honored to teach and practice regularly at Open Doors Yoga in North Attleboro, the Ashram in Millis, and to be a guest teacher at Moksha Yoga in Rehoboth. Andrea and her family live and play in Franklin, MA.
