What are your current areas of interest related to your practice?

My areas of focus include yoga for toddlers, children, and teens and using yoga as a wellness tool, emotion regulator, and resource for a healthy lifestyle in all stages of life.

What have you learned or how have you grown since becoming a YCC instructor?

YCC has a wealth of skilled instructors that offer so many interesting workshops and learning experiences. I enjoy expanding my knowledge of yogic principles and building teaching skills through the many classes and workshops available. We come to YCC to practice yoga, but there is also a focus on giving back to the community through food drives, clothing drives, and supporting other charitable causes..

What to expect in class: Andrea encourages a playful, skill-building, and creative practice that introduces children and teens to the benefits of yoga. She loves to lead her students through “yoga adventures” using their imaginations.

Andrea has been practicing yoga at the YCC for many years, and took the step to become a RYT 200 in 2024. She has been teaching yoga since June of 2025 and is currently enrolled in YCC’s RYT 500 Teacher Training Program.
