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.

The Big Adventure in Fuerteventura, Canarias

I needed a break from all the teaching, chaos, running around and of course - my voice needed a bit of silence, too - so I booked a flight to an island in Canary Islands - Fuerteventura, packed my suitcase and went to experience a big adventure :) And, of course, I did yoga, too (I know you all knew I will cheat and practice a bit ;) )

I met great people over there. I tried some nice local specialties, too. I really enjoyed my short stay and I want to go back as soon as possible (hopefully in few months) - and who knows, maybe I´ll just stay there and teach on a beautiful island... :)

Have a look at the pictures I took ;)

Posing with the Animation Team - Maria and Carolina
  And they were so nice that they let me teach yoga :)



We had a nice class with great ladies (and later in the evening we danced all night long ;) )

 One day I went for a walk and I had my phone charged so I could take some pictures... I didn´t have a mat there, so I just found a spot on the beach where I could do few poses :)









 And another day I went to a huge cliff and made few pics there - it wasn´t easy. Those little rocks were slippery and standing and balancing on them was quiet of a challenge ;)





 And few pics from the beach :)
