Andrea Brown Gleason, (she/her/hers)
Owner Scarborough Yoga, ERYT 500, YACEP, Reiki Master, USAT Level 1 Coach, NASM Behavioral Change Specialist iPEC Certified Professional COR.E Energy Coach, ELI Master Practioner [email protected] Owner of Scarborough Yoga, Co-Founder of sheJAMs, LLC, (an all-women’s triathlon club), RYT 500 Yoga Teacher ~ Jacqui Bonwell’s Sacred Seed 2012, USAT Certified Coach Level 1, 2006, Master Reiki Practitioner, Usui Lineage ~ Laura Sheldon. 2 Yin Teacher Trainings with Josh Summers, Restorative Yoga and Aerial Yoga Teacher Training with Robin Ivy Payton, Sequencing with Amy Ippoliti, Meditation & Pranayama with Shiva Shakti. Andrea started practicing Yoga when she was training for a triathlon. Chronically pulling a rib out of alignment during training, she treated with a chiropractor who told her she could do more for herself than he could do and told her to practice yoga. Thus began a new journey and her love for the practice of yoga. Andrea is trained in Vinyasa but focuses her teachings on the quieter practice of Yin Yoga. “Yin Yoga balances the Yang in my life, of which there is plenty!”, she says. “Practicing yoga creates breathing room. Room to pause before I react and recover when I do react to life’s challenges.” |
