Andrea Powers
Andrea Powers’ journey began when she started meditating at the age of five. Her connection to the energy that moves through the body and one’s ability to control it for both mental and physical balance was installed early in her life.
Andrea is a natural athlete. She began running at the age of eight when she hurt her back in 1990 and found yoga. Her first experience left her nothing but confused however she still felt this longing to try again. With her athlete attitude Andrea began to train herself after a life altering meeting with Master Yogi Bhajan in 1992.
She later became a 200 Hour Yoga Teacher through YogaFit Training System and opened her own yoga studio in 2005 where she would create her own brand of classes.
Andrea wanted to expand her abilities and creativity so decided to take a leap of faith in 2011 and became an Advanced Anti Gravity Yoga Teacher but she didn't stop there Andrea found her love for Standup Paddle Boarding and became the leader in the North Jersey area in SUP Yoga. She later became the original inventor and creator of the YOGABOARD also known as Indoor SUP Yoga.

Eilish is a true believer that everyone is for everyone. She can be heard saying in her classes….. “to take a moment. A moment to be grateful. Grateful foe the noises that we have that allow us to be here. And grateful to the person or people that give us the time and the space to be here.” - quote from Eilish Bresnan
