From Dance to Yoga Therapy: Andi’s Holistic Journey

‘My yoga journey started with dancing,’ she says ‘when I was little I was a dancer and I loved everything about it. Most importantly, I enjoyed the feeling of freedom that my body and mind experienced while moving. It lend me the feeling of connectedness and it was truly a medicine for my soul.

The Joy Of Moving With Consciousness

Afterwards, when I was not a dancer anymore, I was looking for a form of movement that would give me as much joy as dancing did. Finally, after much searching I found yoga, which was interesting, engaging, and exciting at the same time. Immediately, I was stuck, as I felt I that I arrived home.’

Besides her weekly group classes, Andi gives private yoga therapy in her studio. 

Healing Through Yoga & Ayurveda

Introduction

I eventually realized that I love spending my days in a yoga studio. That passion led me to complete my first teacher training course. At the heart of my journey is a deep desire to help others. I’m truly moved when students share how specific breathing techniques or asanas have eased their discomfort or supported their healing process.

Class Philosophy

Every yoga and meditation class at Hamsa Studio is designed to offer deep release—a conscious, beautiful, and mindful pause from the rush of daily life.

“Dip into calmness and lightness at Hamsa, and continue your day with ease and more awareness.” — Andi

Whether you join a yoga and meditation session, attend a mindfulness retreat, participate at an online cooking-for-health workshop, or seek stress management guidance my intention is always to support your well-being.

Inspired by Nature

My teaching is rooted in the ancient wisdom of the five natural elements—space, air, fire, water, and earth. I observe how these elements influence our physical and emotional states, creating either ease or dis-ease.

I explore how the body and mind interact, and how our mental states—whether calm, agitated, or dull—shape our clarity, confusion, or inertia (sattva, rajas, and tamas).

Spices are the basis of mindful cooking. My daily mindfulness practice circles around food, and making space for relaxed cooking for health and wellbeing. Read more here.’

Holistic Support For Your Wellbeing

My Mission

My goal is to help you live with less stress and equip you with tools to manage it more effectively. I offer simple, effective, and seasonally adapted yoga routines to support your journey.

Hamsa Studio was founded with a clear vision: to help people discover calm and peace in their everyday lives.

Food As The Foundation Of Wellness

You might wonder how food fits into the practice of yoga and mindfulness. The answer is simple: what we eat, the air we breathe, the people we interact with, and how we sleep are all essential pillars of our health and well-being. When even one of these is out of balance, our overall vitality can suffer.

Cooking Is A Meditation Practice

For me, cooking wasn’t always a joyful experience—it used to feel like a chore. But through my Ayurvedic training, I came to understand the power of daily routines and the healing potential of food. Cooking transformed into a meditative practice, a way to nourish both body and mind.

The Mindful Kitchen

I believe true health and happiness begin with self-care. And since eating is something we all do every day, I developed a mindful approach to cooking—one that supports a balanced, vibrant life. Mindful cooking is more than preparing meals; it’s a way to live consciously, seasonally, and with intention.

ANDI’S COMMITMENT STATEMENT

I BELIEVE IN COMMUNITY CARE & I AM COMMITTED TO

  1. Be in service to my community. I strive to provide quality free and affordable information about yoga, ayurveda, mindful living and meditation.
  2. Create a model for my business that allows me to provide services for those who need it and not just those who can pay. The sliding-scale for my cooking workshops, for example, allows me to include people who would not be able to pay the full fee.
  3. Heal the children of my students and patients for free or for a reduced price depending on the financial ability of the family.
  4. Create free content where I give away valuable and quality information on how to improve the quality of your life through simple yoga exercises via my Instagram.

I believe in sharing is caring and will try to accommodate that in all situations.

BEING ETHICAL IS IMPORTANT 

  1. Making money ethically. I believe in sharing my wealth as a means for helping to change the world and improve it for the next generation.
  2. Help other women because I believe when women are well the society is well and has a solid foundation.
  3. Taking time off regularly to rest and rejuvenate. I always create space in my weekly schedule to relax. I refuse to participate in oppressive working conditions and believe this is a way we change our economy and root out white supremacy culture.
  4. My own daily routine and practices, so that when I show up in the world I am ready to be supportive and present with my clients.

I AM COMMITTED TO

  1. Value your feedback. I will always listen and will take in your observations, however, I will not stand any bullying in my space. I support constructive feedback based on consent.
  2. Leading a minimalist lifestyle: I reduce waste, and buy non-packaged food whenever it is possible. Moreover, I cook most meals from scratch at home from locally sourced ingredients.
  3. Buy local and prefer shops of my community over large companies. Ready made meals are rarely consumed at my home, as I strongly believe that freshly made meal is the real deal.
  4. Our belongings are repurposed, mended or donated when we don’t need them anymore.
  5. I consume as little as possible and only buy as many things as I need.
  6. I am a vegetarian and support the reduction of greenhouse gases via a vegetarian diet. I walk wherever I can or cycle (but I will not shame or degrade anyone else’s choices). 
  7. Love. I am committed to service those who are in need, and prioritise care, compassion, and love.
