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.

Restorative Yoga Workshop 17th May 2015

If you're feeling the need for a reset, a chance to hit pause for a moment, or if you've ever wanted to linger a little longer in those deep twists and restful opening poses, then this is the workshop for you. Restorative Yoga, as you would expect from the name, is the calm yet deeply nourishing side of the practice.

We'll begin with some gently paced vinyasa flow and a few standing postures to build some heat in preparation for the deeper opening and release that will follow. Restorative poses are soothing and well supported with blocks, cushions, and belts so that you can settle in to each asana in maximum comfort, allowing time to entirely let go of any muscular, physical and emotional tension. The aim is to still our fidgety bodies, calm our busy minds and allow ourselves to rest in the present moment and move towards a state of deep contentment.

At the end of the workshop we will practice yoga nidra, yogic sleep - a state somewhere between consciousness and sleep - which is reached through a guided relaxation.

WARNING: You may leave the workshop feeling a little spaced out, blissfully happy and carefree and possibly with the desire to hug a stranger.
