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.

I am back again!

 I haven't written anything here for 4 years... I cannot believe it! 😵

But, I guess it is time to come back and start to write a bit more, share my vids here, too. 

If you haven't been following me on Facebook, I have renamed my yoga group to 

👉 Yoga foe Everyone (Zombie Yoga with Andrea)👈

If you haven't seen all my posts of videos and Zoom classes since last March, you can catch up on my 

👉Zombie Yoga YouTube Channel👈

So from now on, I am back and I will try to post and write as much as I can 😉


Have a lovely day and... I'll write again very soon! (sooner than 4 years, I promise!!!)

(I will need you to tell me asap, plus paying the fee, too, as the places are really limited - sorry about that) oh and... - only 11 places are left at this minute :)

Markyate Village Hall, Cavendish Rd, Markyate, St Albans AL3 8PS

The 30-Day Yoga for Weight Loss Challenge

The January crazyness made me think of few things, plus many people were asking if yoga is actually good for weight loss - the answer is - yoga is what you want it to be!

Very soon I will put together a 30 Day Yoga Weight Loss Challenge, which will help participants lose weight through yoga. There will be day and weekly guides and exercises descriptions, plus helpful tips for losing weight and videos. 4 weeks will be divided into weekly themes - Yoga and the Breath, Yoga and the Mind, Yoga and the Body and Yoga and Beyond. 

This challenge will be ideal for beginner yoga students, but experienced yogis will find it helpful with weight loss, too. Participants will experience a comprehensive approach to weight loss that addresses physical exercise, mental outlook, emotional well-being, and behavioral patterns. 

Change your habits and change your life with this valuable program.

If you want more info, please contact me, I am looking forward to start this program very soon!

To my HRLC ladies!

It's been a privilege to work with you lovely ladies week after week, seeing you get fitter, stronger, healthier & happier! To be able to have a positive influence on other people's lives really is the best thing in the world :)

It's been the toughest week ever, so many goodbyes, but I've been truly touched by everyone's kind words, cards & gifts. My journey as your instructor has been amazing and I met so many incredible and inspirational people, and it's changed my life in ways I could never have imagined.

Love and hugs to all my ladies!!!! 😘

Thank you to each and every one of you that has come to my classes over the last (nearly) 4 years. It's been a real pleasure. I'll miss you x


These are some great pictures of us :) ENJOY!

Timetable changes from Jan 2017

Good afternoon my lovely yoga friends :) How are you doing today? I am teaching many classes today (6)... and there are some sad news and a great news for next year...
Sadly, I am giving up 2 classes - one in TruGym (as you know, I will miss you ladies and I would love to continue to teach there, but I don't like and don't agree how management is treating us instructors!) and the second class is my favourite Houghton Regis class, where we had so much fun and we have great memories from classes (glass of water challenge, frozen to death classes that doesn't include Tash :P) - so I am going to see you ladies in these 2 classes today and next week :) After, Ruby will take over the Pure Gym class and probably Natalie in Houghton Regis (it is not confirmed, yet)
And there are some good news, too!
I will have at least 2 new classes in my timetable in 2017 so I will teach in 2 more places :) One is in L&D hospital - there I will teach yoga for staff and the second class confirmed today is a 50+ yoga class on Fridays @12.30 (starting date needs to be confirmed) in Harpenden Sports Center. I can't wait to start these classes and meet new people!!! :)
I am going home (Slovakia) for Christmas (21st Dec - 4th Jan) so I will have a little break from teaching, however, I will still have yoga with my friends at home :)
So I am wishing you all a nice day and weekend!!! :)
