ANDREA - a full time Yoga, Pilates and Tai Chi instructor.

I fell in love with yoga over seven years ago, when I got a Nintendo DS and bought a game called Let's Yoga. From then, I began 'playing' yoga everyday, sometimes twice a day. At first, the practice was more physical for me, but after few months I started to really count on yoga to bring me a sense of calm during especially chaotic days. Soon after, I began recognizing the benefits of a regular asana and meditation practice and continued to incorporate yoga daily - not just during times of chaos. I found myself feeling more energized, more compassionate, happier, and with more awareness. Now, I teach full-time and couldn't be happier to do what I love. What began as a physical practice for strength and flexibility quickly became a lifestyle. I teach my students to take their yoga off the mat and apply the principles learned in the class to their lives outside of the studio. I do not only teach my philosophy, I live it.

Splits for Fighters in Storm Gym - Cviky na roznozku a snuru

 Have you ever been completely awed by the flexibility of a graceful ballet dancer or gymnast and thought to yourself, “I can’t do that?” Have you tried to do a split casually and ended up falling over or pulling a muscle? No worries – this incredible feat of flexibility is within the grasp of almost anyone who’s patient enough. By following a regimen of careful stretching, you too will eventually be able to do a split. 

We are stretching a lot in Storm Gym, because we have fighters there who want to kick high - so there is a motivattion :) A split is one of those moves that is really easy for some people and much harder for others. Even if you’re as tight as can be, though, you’ll still be able to master it if you work hard at your stretching.

A great way to get (or improve) your split is to move through a series of different stretches, from simple to advanced - and we do exactly this in these classes. If you are a beginner, you’ll probably want to master the easier stretches first before moving on to full split stretches.

Be sure to do each stretch on both sides – you’ll want a good split on both your right leg and your left leg. 


  







 And we had a priviledge to have amongst us 2 guests from Slovakia - two lovely girls who I met half an hour before the Power Yoga started :) Thanks for joining us!
