What a fun invigorating class to do in the morning! I really liked how we got into half moon in a new (to me) way, and this was the most successful/ accessible sugar cane pose has been for me. Thank you!

Really nice practice and loved that Andrea can "make fun" of herself. Wonderful and different transitions from various poses.
Only issue was corpse where I was laying down and then, w/o really knowing, Andrea was saying Namaste. I just did it from corpse.

This class was amazing!!! Thank you so much Andrea!! Wonderful quad stretches, my whole body felt challenged and stretched out but in a really mindful and calm way. I love the direction and got into some poses I hadn't before. Andrea's classes are by far my favourite!!

This was my first class with Andrea and I LOVED it! She is very gentle and soft with her words, but also pushes you to reach for more. I really enjoyed the build up of this class to the final pose and was surprised with myself how gracefully I was able to enter the final pose without every having done it before. Thank you Andrea for a beautiful class!
