My wish for humanity is for the heart centered recognition of one another from the truth of our being. My most passionate aim is to assist as many people as possible in their return to heart wisdom, to abide by nature's cycles, gain peace of mind and share that with each of you. Om Shanti.
Since 1995, Andrea has been absorbed in self-transforming spiritual practise, and has followed and practising the classical Raja (royal) Ashtanga yoga and various Hatha yoga systems. With over 14 years experience she is dedicated to teaching the transformational techniques of Yoga that help those on a spiritual quest to maximize their potential and embody their fullness of being.
Andrea has been attuned to Reiki and has reached Mastership level, she also has a keen interest in body psychotherapy and other forms of movement, such as Gabrielle Roth’s 5 Rhythms, Osho’s Dynamic/Active Meditation’s & Amoda Maa Jeevan's Ecstatic Trance Dance all which have led her to facilitate her own Internal flow dance journey workshops.
As well as the aforementioned systems, she has been deeply influenced by the Raja Yoga meditations led by The Brahma Kumaris world spiritual university and in 2004 she also practised Gongyo - the Lotus Sutra, Mantra practice of the SGI-UK ~Nischiren Daishonin~ Buddhists.
Within this time there continued to be a longing for a deeper experience of Bhakti yoga (The Yoga of devotion) this led her on to Kirtan offered through a family band called Goma, and to the teachings of Shri Haidakhan Babaji. Also during these years she has been greatly honoured in receiving darshan blessings and teachings in reverence from Mātā Amritanandamayī Devi - Amma and Mother Meera on their annually visits to the UK.
Some other influences along the way are Jai Uttal Daniel Paul & Nubia with whom she has studied The Art and Practice of Kirtan.
"Love and Serve all humanity, Assist everyone". – Babaji
Andrea has been accredited as a Yoga Elder by the Independent Yoga Network and is listed on the Yoga register. The wealth of knowledge gained through many great Teachers and Masters, also includes 3 year tutelage with UK governing body -The British Wheel of Yoga.
All of these experiences have enabled her to find her own teacher within... Being highly intuitive and in tune with compassionate heart wisdom has led her to develop her own style of teaching to abide by and her aim now is to offer these gifts to other teachers and students alike.
Futher study and news
Last year Andrea has taken to teaching Yoga to Children between the ages of 8-16 and she hopes to bring Yoga into local schools and Youth centers.
Other areas of interest include bringing her style of teaching to already established CIC (Community interest companies), and through the National Health Service. Andrea would also like to dedicate her time towards raising funds through charity events for the community.
