Andrea Albrittain Ross

“I have practiced yoga for over 30 years. It has been an extraordinary journey into stillness and awareness.

The practice of yoga open’s one’s heart, mind and body. It benefits our physical bodies by building strength, balance, and alignment. For me, my practice has become a moving meditation where I find peace within the grace of the Asanas. I believe that the practice of yoga has the power to transform and bring peace and well being into one’s life.

Many of the postures practiced in yoga are focused on physically expanding our chests to allow us to focus on and expand our heart centers. This opens our etheric or energetic hearts and enables us to receive healing and increased awareness. The practice of yoga has the power to transform and unify.

It is my hope that Heart of the Village Yoga will expose others to this practice that enlightens all our lives, individually and collectively. It is my hope that what is taught in our studio can be incorporated in to one’s daily life. That one’s yoga practice can become a part of who one is when confronted by all of the circumstances of life. That one’s mat can always be beneath one’s feet. The practice of yoga in the studio becomes a rehearsal for one’s authentic practice within the greater community.”
