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.

DLC NEWS from Oct 2015

Good evening my lovely yoga people in Dunstable!!!


You all know what is happening, but it is not looking too bad at the moment... 

The result is that the class will stay at 8pm, only there will be someone else taking the class - I hope it will be fine with you.

Unfortunately I was told they cannot move the classes around as we tried to achieve, but at least you'll still have yoga... - but I will miss you SO MUCH!!!!!! 

This was my first EVER class I taught. I remember how I was shaking - 25 people in the class, my ribs broken... It was nearly 3 years ago!!! :)  Many of you stayed with me through these years, others left, many new people came a still go to my other classes, too. 

I can teach 2 more Mondays - 21st and 28th Sept 2015 - I  hope I will see as many of you in these 2 classes as possible!!! :D 

Well, I am nearly crying now, so I'll finish this post, have a great evening/night, c u on Sunday or Monday! 

Namaste

September 2015 is going to be the most interesting month - nearly everything changes in my life... 

I have lived with my friends more than 3 years in a beautiful big house and we used to be like a big family. Time has passed, people changed and it is time to move towards something new, better, brighter, happier :)

So I am in a process of moving to a nice flat and I will have an awesome space to practice my yoga :D 

Also, because I am teaching more and more, my time is precious and I need to plan my timetable to be the most sufficient so I can do my best all the time, in all classes :)

Great news regarding my timetable changes from September!! :)


Good evening everyone!! :) 

I just got a confirmation regarding of the Pure Gym Yoga class - yes, it WILL be moved to THURSDAY 8.15pm (instead of Friday)! :) I really hope you can all make it!!!!
  • I just wrote an email to HRLC manager (he was already gone when I rang) that I need to change the class to Friday 7.50pm or cancel it. Sorry ladies :( I just don't like coming home after 10pm.... 
- an update from HRLC - after receiving a kind of rude email to resign with a huge help of some of you I got an email we can try the Friday classes - no confirmation yet - I'll keep you updated
I know you like me, my classes... And I am still teaching there, because you are so lovely and I really enjoy teaching YOU!!!!! I teach there only 1 class - so if you want me still there - you better fight for me - now it's your time to show support!
  • Tiddenfoot Monday 6pm Pilates will stay as it is till further notice :P

Few changes in my timetable from 1st Sept 2015

Good morning my lovely yogis and yoginis!

I know there is so many of you that come to my classes, and I can't tell you how happy you make me by attending them and doing your best. It is so great to see you all improving and having fun during my classes :)

My timetable is getting busier and busier, so I needed to make few changes, cos I really need at least one day off, just to myself to recharge my batteries and be always ready for you :)

So here is what will change from 1st Sept.:


  • Wednesday Pure Gym 8pm yoga class will be moved to Friday 8pm - I hope many of you can still come to this one - sorry if it causes inconvenience for anyone of you (but I seriously need 1 day off :()
  • Friday Tru Gym 6pm Pilates class's time will change to 5.30pm - just got a confirmation of a change last night - I hope it will not make such a big difference
  • Friday Bannatyne's 7.15pm yoga class will finally change to 6.30pm - this is a big help for my time - this way I can squeeze into my schedule 2 more classes - thank you James for it! :) 



I was thinking about my Tiddenfoot class too, because it takes me a lot of time to get there and then to my next one. I will probably have to cancel that one class I am teaching there to make my running around easier, so I have asked the management in HRLC if they possibly could change my Thursday 8,30pm class to Monday 6.45pm, so we will see what will happen. Because for the Thursday class, I don't want to get home so late from my classes, cos I am teaching from early morning on Friday :/ but - we will have to see what will happen - these 2 classes are not changing at this moment - these are only my thoughts...
