About Andrea & One Soul Yoga

"I have been attending Andrea's weekly yoga classes for probably about a year now  It's a very welcoming class and Andrea's warmth shines through.  She is a knowledgeable and a kind teacher who also has a calming but fun nature and is always there to give you options if something is not right for you.

I've attended her workshops which are very good and I've also seen her privately for a more personal meeting.  I would have no qualms about recommending Andrea's yoga classes, workshops and 1:1's. Thank you Andrea" – LC

"I am a sixty-three-year-old woman who has always wanted to do yoga, but have continually put it off, telling myself I am too busy. I have also told myself that with osteoarthritis and osteoporosis, it was probably something I would not be able to do anyway.

Andrea talked me through my concerns and I felt very safe with her. She gently and sensitively took me through some of the poses and to my utter delight I found I could actually do them. Confident that I had Andrea's support I could not only do them, but enjoyed the experience too. Rather than feeling uncomfortable or in pain I felt relaxed and at peace which was a real bonus and surprise. I still however worried what my vulnerable joints might be like over the following days.

To my absolute delight, not only was there no negative impact at all from the session, but there were several positives, just from one go at this. For the next few days, I was aware of feeling freer in my body in a way that I have not felt for a long while. I guess in constant pain I must unconsciously tense up, but my body felt different. I can only describe it as feeling taller, straighter and more open, as if air had been allowed into places that had previously felt constricted and blocked.

I am unable to explain how one session could make such a profound difference to how I felt, but it did.  I am now very much looking forward to joining Andrea's yoga group and making this a regular part of my management of the aging process." – C

“Andrea is not only an excellent yoga teacher, well qualified and a lovely person too, she embodies what it means to be at peace which is infectious.

With her beautiful smile, gentle yet reassuring manner, she will quietly move amongst our group, supporting us to hold and experience the various postures and the positive impact they can have on both our bodies and minds. When I come out of my yoga practice at the end of the evening, it will often feel as if Andrea has handed me a beautiful and precious gift that I can carry with me throughout my busy and often challenging week, until the following week and another yoga session.

Thank you, Andrea, for everything you are and everything you do. You offered me a precious gift.” – C.E.

“I initially contacted Andrea a year ago to work through some difficulties I was facing at the time. After a while, we decided to take a more spiritual approach and incorporate yoga into our counselling sessions, it’s been amazing to be able to combine something I love to do in my spare time, with my therapy! I’ve noticed such a huge improvement in myself, my ability to cope with my emotions and my overall attitude towards day-to-day life.

I would recommend Andrea to anyone, thank you for guiding me back to myself and supporting me during times I felt no one could!” – K.J.
