Andrew McAuley
Andrew took his first steps down the path of yoga at the age of 17. He fell in love with the spiritual aspects of the practice and focused his studies on life's higher purpose and personal growth, finding a strong appreciation for the teachings of Hinduism, Buddhism and Taoism. At 26, Andrew was inspired to increase his knowledge and personal practice of yoga. It was this spark that led him to Flow Yoga in Leesburg, VA where he studied under Kate Vickers and Rochelle Traupe in order to achieve his 200+ hr yoga teaching certification. Andrew owns his own massage therapy practice, Epidauria: Wholistic Healing Centre of Leesburg, where he has cultivated a familiarity with Anatomy and Physiology that allows him to better honor and respect the state of the body during yoga practice. Andrew is now a newly appointed member of the teaching faculty at Flow Yoga in Leesburg, VA. His ongoing adventure down the path of yoga has led him to start his 500+ hr certification through Shiva Rea's Prana Vinyasa Flow Teacher Training.
Andrew's first rule for teaching is compassion. He works hard to create a sense of fellowship and community in his classes. He welcomes the opportunity to lead students of any level into a deeper realization of their personal journey through yoga. He believes that the harmonious connection between the physical and spiritual self created through the action of yoga gives us balance which we can incorporate into our fast paced, day-to-day lives. When you come to one of Andrew's classes, expect to be greeted with distinct laughter and a warm smile. His classes embark on a creative journey of the Power Vinyasa Flow, but don't forsake the simplicity of the foundations of the asanas. If you want a class where you can explore the infinite potential of the human experience from the safety and security of your yoga mat, allow Andrew to be your guide. Be Inspired!
