Class Descriptions

Vinyasa (All Levels)
A moving, flowing, physical practice incorporating strength, flexibility and balance. Strong emphasis placed on breath work, mindful movement and anatomical alignment. Playful sequencing carries you from the foundational postures to more challenging poses, always with modifications and alternatives.
Warm Room ~80°F

Vinyasa (Intermediate/Advanced)
A vigorous, athletic version of Vinyasa, expect more emphasis to be placed on heat building in the body, moving briskly through the foundational postures into invigorating and dynamic sequencing. We will work with focusing attention on mindfully exerting effort in the body while keeping the breath steady, nourishing the relationship between body and mind.
Warm Room ~80°F

Gentle/Restorative
A slower form of yoga with little to no attention paid to heat building, instead focusing on softening and opening the body and making space for recovery and healing. Gentle classes will work with postures for multiple breaths, while Restorative classes will work with postures for multiple minutes. Many props will be used to support the body, giving you the space to relax and renew.
Comfortable Room ~75°F

Yoga Basics
Build a foundation of yoga skills and knowledge while cultivating strength, flexibility, and balance in body and mind. Practice approaching your mat with a beginner’s mindset and take the time to explore fundamental elements of yoga such as breath and alignment. Designed for brand new yoga students but experienced practitioners encouraged. Come join us on our return to the basics and begin your yoga journey (again).
Comfortable Room ~75°F

Bio

Andrew has an athletic, contemplative and compassionate style that is built on his study of Astanga Yoga and various forms of Vinyasa Yoga. He teaches a moderately paced, flowing class with a strong focus on alignment and form. With the understanding that all bodies move in unique ways, he explores variations and modifications to postures, looking for a sustainable yoga practice for everyone. He believes in a light hearted approach to life and yoga, and with a measured application of effort we can create positive change in our lives.

Andrew began his yoga practice in 2007 with Elliott McEldowney at O2 Yoga in Somerville and at Tufts University. He earned his 200 RYT in San Francisco at The Mindful Body (Class of 2013), under the guidance of Maile Sivert and Caroline Kelley. After teaching for three years in San Francisco (at The Mindful Body, Bernal Yoga, Maiden Lane Studios and Just Breathe Yoga SF), he spent a year teaching in his hometown of San Diego (Yoga One and Grotto Climbing and Yoga). Returning to the Boston area, Andrew has been teaching on the north shore (Purple Sun + Moon Yoga, Dark Star Yoga, Yoga Loft Marblehead, Yoga Sakti, Bright Day Yoga).

Andrew found yoga through a love of personal fitness, anatomy, and nutrition. After studying physical theater and dance, he spent time in New York City as an actor and movement director. He uses his substantial knowledge of anatomy and body mechanics to guide his students through asana and to give clear and supportive physical adjustments. Andrew strives to create a meditative environment that allows his students to delve deep within themselves.
