a
A place where you can go to exhale, de-stress, come back to yourself, and find balance. Especially right now. When the world has very real challenges….
A space to deepen your yoga practice, live aligned with the seasons, and embody the truth of YOU. Maybe you’re feeling destabilized, overwhelmed, or depleted because of what’s going on in the world. Maybe you feel disconnected from your body or experience discomfort on a regular basis. Or maybe you’re feeling called to take care of yourself more deeply, so that you can meet your daily life with more energy, clarity, and peace.

I feel like I’ve come full circle now practicing inside the Sanctuary. Now in my middle ‘70’s having a practice that values all capabilities while still challenging me is perfect.
- Claudia
I find great benefit in practicing in the Sanctuary. After each class, I experience more balance and vitality when walking, running, and other physical activities!
- Bob
I haven't done yoga much these last few years, but for nearly 3 weeks now, I do one of Andrea's classes. It is incredibly calming and centering during what has been a really difficult time.
- Laura
I happened upon Andrea’s class at a local studio and have never needed to look elsewhere. It’s wonderful to experience her genuine joy at seeing each and every one of us, whether it’s our first class or we’ve been with her for years.

My joints rarely ache, and I have so much strength in everyday life I feel like a warrior!
After having attended Andrea's yoga classes, I have frequent and lengthy periods of quiet mind, resilience, and balanced moments. My joints rarely ache, and I have so much strength in everyday life I feel like a warrior! - Tracy
Nothing addresses the muscle tension I have better than these yoga practices.
Although I haven’t made it to many live classes, I have been practicing with through the replays. I want to share how truly wonderful this work has been these past few months for me. Yesterday after working the Farmers Market I did the practice, ‘Slow and Low, Whole Body.’ This is seriously one of the best ever! Nothing addresses the muscle tension I have better than a yoga practice with Andrea. The emotional and spiritual benefits are equally important. - C.V.

Experience a Live Class
*In-person class is held at The Quarry Arts Building located at 715 Hill Street, suite 170 (which is down the hall near the restrooms), in Madison, Wisconsin.
The classes are designed to be trauma-aware, meaning if you are practicing online, you can turn off your camera. I will lead the group through meditation and movement practice. Although there is time for questions before and after class, group participation or conversation is not required.

"You approach the subject with just the right amount of information and your clear and calm manner allow deeper comprehension and insight."
— Claudia
Thank you very much, Andrea! The Sanctuary is very educational and I appreciate the many things you teach. It is plum full of insights for me that I will be able to use for self and others. You created great modifications for some of our clients who are challenged and need alternatives.
I also appreciate your teaching style. You approach the subject with just the right amount of information and your clear and calm manner allow deeper comprehension and insight. Not teaching too much to overwhelm, but supplying enough information to be interesting to allow for objectives to be met is a skill all of us teachers admire!
