Say hello to Andi!

A long time member of the I Am Yoga family, Andi is passionate about sharing her energy and yoga joy with the IAY community! In addition to co-leading our 200-hr Yoga Teacher Training program, Andi offers monthly virtual classes in Kemetic Yoga and Reiki-Informed Yoga, and is the coordinator (and resident Sound Bath artist!) for the SAFE Yoga program in Greensboro.

"Yoga is just sooo expansive," Andi says, "and I Am Yoga encourages me to share my divine gifts and offerings in WHATEVER way feels aligned with me. I love being part of a heart-centered, community-oriented space where we create meaningful change and impact through the modalities that resonate with us individually. I feel welcomed, valued, and cared for by my fellow wellness practitioners AND the community we serve. I give thanks for our beautiful kula, our community 🫶🏾✨."

Here's a fun fact! Andi says, "I LOVE reliving experiences through food 🤤 I rarely take pictures of myself to capture memories and much prefer to capture photos of my vegan meals. Seeing them vividly brings back allll the feelings, flavors, scenery, and vibrations surrounding that moment. ✨"

Join Andi and the SAFE Yoga community on Saturdays at 10:30am at the Greensboro Cultural Center, or check out some of her upcoming virtual classes here:
