Andrea Loper, MPA, M.A., E-RYT200, YACEP, is a Yoga Therapist, Group Exercise Instructor, Personal Trainer and Program Manager. I have been in the health and fitness industry since 1997 and I was first introduced to yoga in 2000 while in college. I became  "power yoga" or Vinyasa Flow style yoga instructor 2001.

The pace and sequence allow time for students to learn and explore while providing the platform for a safe and effective practice.

My passion for practicing and teaching yoga comes from the desire to help others live a healthier, happier, and more embodied life. It has taught be to be more patient, balanced and mindful in all aspects of my life. in 2007 I enrolled in a 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training and upon completion, I began teaching classes to my colleagues at work. The experience was the start of a brand new path that brought me back to my home town where I have been teaching since 2008 at various locations.
