I’m Andi.

I’ve been teaching yoga for over 15 years and practicing massage just as long. My path into this work wasn’t academic or linear — it was lived. I spent years navigating anxiety, dissociation, and raising my son as a single mom, and trying to find a place where I felt present and real.

Yoga was the only time I felt alive in my body.
It was the doorway back into myself.
It taught me how to stay, how to breathe, and how to feel again.

As I moved from teaching to mentoring and eventually training teachers, I noticed something that shaped everything I do now: most yoga classes focus on poses, but very few teach people how to actually feel themselves. Cueing shapes isn’t the same as guiding someone inward.

What changed my life — and what consistently transforms my students — is the experience of being guided from the inside out.

My work today reflects all the worlds I move in:
I teach weekly classes.
I lead retreats that blend movement, nervous system work, and real human connection.
I run and manage programs at Melt Yoga Studio.
I bring yoga, meditation, and embodiment into corporate spaces..
And I raise my son — the role that has shaped me as deeply as any training.

Out of all of this came The Embodiment Lab — a hub where yoga teachers learn to create meaningful experiences for their students using embodied cueing, intelligent sequencing, and nervous system awareness. The heart of it is simple: helping teachers grow just as much as the people they guide.

This is the work that changed me.
This is the work I teach.
And this is the work I believe can change the way we practice — and teach — yoga.
