Andrea D.

In addition to being a 200-HR Certified Yoga Instructor who teaches regular classes at multiple studios in the Cleveland area, I also have a diverse background in Personal Training, Functional Exercise, Fitness and Rehabilitation. This makes me perfect for working with athletes who are trying to increase their strength and flexibility as well as prevent or recover from injury. In the past I have worked in the corporate setting as well as at Chiropractic Sports Medicine office, where we saw many athletes. In addition to my Bachelor's Degree in Health Sciences, and my Yoga Certification I also have nationally recognized certifications in Personal Training and Functional Exercise

I have not competed as an athlete since high school where I played softball, however since then I have been very active as a health and fitness professional.

A typical yoga class with me is holistic focusing on aspects of body, mind and soul. Proper breathing is taught and focus, mindfulness and attention to the present moment are encouraged. In private one on one sessions I am able to focus on areas of concerns with the client, if there are none, then we can work on generally increasing strength, flexibility and focus through different poses, have the chance to cool down and finally a chance for deep relaxation.
