Zombie Yoga with Andrea: Our first Restorative Yoga Workshop

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.

Our first Restorative Yoga Workshop

I just got back from my second holiday this month on Sunday early in the morning, re-energized, happy, with new inspiration... and few hours later, our first Restorative Yoga Workshop started. There was a little problem with the traffic, I was panicking a little, but few more people turned up after :)

Usually my classes are flowing, we move a lot, this was something new and different I think. Getting into the poses was nice, cos we used blocks, pillows and blankets - I honestly enjoyed it a lot!

We will have the next one in few months, I promise, it was a great experience and a great way how to get to know your body better just by listening to it in peace.

Here are two great pics my personal photographer took :P
