A new journey!


Come with me on a new journey! On Friday September 11th I begin my Advanced Teacher Training studies at Inner Vision Yoga Studio. I will do my best to post more frequently and keep you updated on what I am learning in my continuing education training. The next 300 hours of my certification (to become a 500 hour RYT) will take me 16 months to complete. Even though I already have a 200 hour Hatha Yoga certification and have taught more than 1,000 hours of Yoga classes, I am scared and excited about the upcoming training schedule and requirements. My life is already busy with a husband, full-time job in marketing and two teenage boys with activities such as football and church youth group. But the one thing I know for sure, after a busy day with my boys and the stress that comes with work-my mat-my yoga mat is the one place I feel totally in my skin, at peace with the world around me. I teach yoga to share this feeling with others-so that they can feel at peace with themselves and the world too.

Saturday Boot Camp!

Hi Everyone!
Some of you already know that I am running "Yoga for Life & Fitness" BootCamp every Saturday morning in Gilbert! The response has been great so far and I'm having a lot of fun combining my love of the outdoors, my group fitness knowledge and the unlimited benefits of Yoga into a one hour BootCamp style class.
Class includes:
-Cardio
- Legs/glutes
-Arms/shoulders
-Abs
-Yoga poses
-Stretching

We meet at the Track at Mesquite Jr. High which is just west of Gilbert Road between Warner and Elliot off Mesquite Rd. A quick Map quest will get you there!

**Drop-in class is only $10.00 while I work on the build-out of an official Website for this program. More days, times , locations and teachers will be announced as the weather becomes cooler.
Please be there a little early if it is your first time to sign a waiver.
Meet 8:15 am- we work out from 8:30 -9:30 am, and there is a Jamba Juice up the road at Gilbert and Baseline if anybody wants to grab a friend and have a chat after -or just go with me!!
Join me on my latest venture!

Boot Camp Testimonial-
Since never doing/practicing yoga before I didn't know what to expect. Andrea did a great job of mixing a physical workout with yoga. She is an excellent teacher that is informative, encouraging, and shares her knowledge with ease. Andrea instructed how to properly do the pose, took the time to make adjustments, and explained what you should be focusing on to take full advantage of the class. Andrea creates an atmosphere that is supportive and there was no sense of "competition" or judgement in her class. After the class I had more energy throughout the day, all of my muscles were more relaxed and I felt more flexibility and motion in areas that have been previously sore or limited range of motion. Andrea made my first experience a memorable one and I cannot wait to go again!
