“When the senses are purified, the heart is purified; when the heart is purified, there is constant and unceasing remembrance of the Self; when there is constant and unceasing remembrance of the Self, all bonds are loosed and freedom is attained.”

~ Chandogya Upanishad ~

The Journey

In 2006, after 10 years of indepent yoga study, Andrew felt the call to go west and study under Shiva Rea. Here he was introduced to Prana Flow®: Energetic Vinyasa and has been apprenticing with Shiva Rea ever since. Throughout his career, Andrew has created curriculums and courses for massage therapy, fitness institutes and yoga schools on anatomy, yoga and healing arts. Though his knowledge of the physical aspects of the practice are broad and extensive, Andrew believes in a holistic approach which explains why his deep reverence of eastern philosophy and spiritual practice is organically woven into his teachings. Having respect for the multi-faceted nature of the human experience, Andrew's primary goal is to invite students of all levels to explore their personal evolution on the path through creating a lighthearted and autonomous learning environment.

Where does an open heart lead?

Truely embracing the phylosophy of flow, Andrew has chosen to engage where opportunity presents itself, where need and desire are made known through invitation. This commitment has led him to share the opportunities for self empowerment around the world.

The Intention

My intention is to connect with that which allows me to evolve to my highest potential. And to encourage and inspire others through their own evolution, whatever form it may take.

All else is distraction.

Personal Philosophy

Andrew teaches through an alchemical mixture of his life experience and study. Asked to describe his teaching philosophy he stated, “We are supporting the evolutionary shift from dissonance to resonance, from gray-scale to vibrancy. What I enjoy most is witnessing how each student, through their willingness and enthusiasm to explore yoga, recaptures their connection to and engages more fulfillingly with life.”

Current Pursuits

Presently, Andrew’s intensive studies in Yoga, Tantra and Ayurveda are under the guidance and wisdom of his teachers Shiva Rea, Christopher Tompkins, and Dr. Vasant Lad. While he loves learning, teaching and being of service, his favorite occupation is laughing with family and friends.
