What happens

Your First Lesson

We take time to visit with you on your first session. This is an opportunity for you to share your needs and interests with us so we can give you the best session possible. First sessions usually run long at no extra charge.

We work to help you create a specialized routine for your specific needs. We have the knowledge and experience to help you whether the focus is therapeutic or working with advanced yoga postures. If you are ready to work on your own, we will create a list of postures and exercises for you to work on at home.

Yoga and Therapeutic Work with Andrew

Andrew's background comes through Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, which he has practiced for over 40 years. His approach sometimes includes bodywork focused on opening specific muscle groups as the student practices yoga postures. He teaches breathwork and the internal energetic practices of mudra, which come from the classical yoga texts. Andrew has a lot of experience working with sports and yoga injuries as well as occupational issues. He enjoys working with a wide range of clients, ranging from young athletes who want to improve performance to elderly people working to improve mobility, reduce pain, and preserve their independence and quality of life. He also provides counseling based on ancient Indian knowledge systems, which he has studied for many years.

Andrew enjoys helping students create their own routines which fit into their lifestyle. In his words: "It's like taking a shower. It's just something you do to feel better each day." His teaching style is kind spirited and compassionate.

Never done yoga

Private Beginner Intro

You do not need to be flexible. You do not need to have any prior experience with yoga.

This is the point of doing yoga privately on your first time rather than in public. We will help you learn the foundational practices and breathing techniques that will make you feel comfortable in public classes. We can help you come into your first public class informed and aware of any modifications that you might need to make to accommodate injuries or issues that you may have.

One hour, $115. $98 on a first visit with the code WELCOME.

Thai Massage and Bodywork with Andrew

Something like having yoga done to you.

Traditional Thai yoga massage. You stay in your clothes, on a mat on the floor.

We start with a few minutes of talking and postural analysis. Tell me what hurts, what you have had done before, what surgeries or injuries you are carrying, and what you want out of the session. This is the ideal time to tell me about any specific health issues you would like to address or work around. I will start directly on the area which needs attention most and work out from there.

First sessions often run long and are diagnostic. I am happy to do a stress-relieving feel-good session, and we can also work more specifically with long-term issues. Most sessions include all four classical positions of traditional Thai bodywork.

I also hold workshops and seminars for people interested in learning classical Thai bodywork, which I first began studying over 35 years ago.

In their own words

The best studio with the most kind, knowledgeable, and experienced teachers I've ever had. Andrew and Mila have helped me grow my practice significantly, both physically and mentally, over the years. I'm forever grateful.

Great, knowledgeable teachers. Thai massage and private lessons, perfect if you're just getting into yoga, or if you're shy. They help you get started regardless of your flexibility or experience.
