Andrew is a global yoga and meditation teacher, founder and director of the Berkshire Yoga Festival and public speaker known best for helping people who claim to have “monkey minds” experience their first “a-ha” moment where they finally say “I can meditate!”. He has been offering holistic healing work and guiding people on spiritual retreat for over 20 years. Those who work with Andrew typically find they are making major positive changes that previously felt impossible to pursue. Andrew’s specific teaching style is rooted in his studies of Sahm-Je(3 Element) Taoist Yoga & Qi Gong, Hatha-Raja Yoga in the lineage of Sri Dharma Mittra, and complemented by the key insights of the late Olympic weightlifting coach Charles Poliquin. Poliquin emphasized building muscle at the end range of motion and his teachings have recently been popularized by the internet famous, Ben Patrick, aka “Knees over Toes Guy.” Andrew's classes weave together insights and practices from these three traditions in an unassuming way, creating a unique, non-dogmatic, energetic quality that leaves your muscles and joints relaxed and your mind in a state of deep focus and peace.
