Yoga Classes In Hamilton, Ontario

Yoga to me is an ongoing journey of self-discovery, balancing both strength and surrender, but more importantly, it is about connection and building community. It started as a personal, secret practice, but over the years it’s grown into a deep, meaningful part of my life and teaching. My approach is rooted in patience and allowing students to explore at their own pace while gently guiding them through challenges, both physical and mental. I am creative within the container of a well thought out and planned curriculum. Through mindfulness, humor, and a focus on progress rather than perfection, I create an environment where students can embrace discomfort, celebrate growth, and experience yoga as both a practice of the body and the mind.

About My Yoga & Movement

Yoga began as a quiet secret for me. I was just 14 when I first started practicing, sneaking in late-night sessions with a Rodney Yee VHS or occasionally taking a class at a gym. I’d devour yoga magazines and teach myself poses based on how they could help me—like the top 5 asanas for insomnia. Eventually, I made my way into yoga studios, expanding my practice beyond the occasional self-teaching.

In 2013, a broken tailbone temporarily halted my yoga practice and led me to mindfulness-based meditation and stress reduction. This shift in focus opened my eyes to the deeper layers of yoga, prompting me to reevaluate my practice and look beyond the physical postures. I’ve always been the type to go all in, or not at all. But as I’ve grown, I’ve come to appreciate the beauty in the “in-between” moments.

My journey took a transformative turn as I stepped into self-employment, which gave me the flexibility to pursue a 200-hour yoga teacher training. I had no intention of teaching yoga at that point; I was simply seeking to deepen my understanding. With the unwavering support of my husband, family, friends, and clients, I balanced business responsibilities while immersing myself in teaching, even volunteering monthly to assist with teacher training programs in gratitude for my own teachers.

It was during this period that I discovered my deep passion not only for teaching yoga but also for mentoring aspiring teachers. In 2018, I pushed through personal barriers and embarked on a solo travel and study adventure, spending six weeks in total over 6 months in San Francisco with my favorite teacher and graduating his 500 hour yoga training course. Online resources like Yoga Journal, Glo, and Zoom bridged the distance, and the experience was life-changing. It altered my perspective on yoga and teaching, reaffirming my belief in my ability to inspire others.

In 2019, with my newly acquired skills and education, I launched a mentorship program and advanced intensives for yoga teachers. (coming soon as an online course) But I’ve always remained committed to teaching non-teachers as well, recognizing that yoga is for everyone, regardless of whether they want to become a teacher.

Every student and fellow teacher I’ve met along the way has brought me immense joy and invaluable lessons, shaping me into the teacher I am today. I’ve learned to approach yoga with lightheartedness and humor, creating space for both challenge and laughter. My approach is rooted in a “client-centered” philosophy, working with people where they are and reminding them that there’s no right or wrong way to move in their bodies—or to live.

I believe in rewiring the brain to recognize that we not only can do hard things, but we can enjoy the challenge. We can sit in discomfort, allowing ourselves to step outside the cage of our comfort zone, all while learning and growing and being. I take a curriculum-based approach to teaching - providing creativity within a container of a familiar flow -  often spending multiple classes on a single pose or concept so students can safely practice, grow, and witness their progress over time.

  • I never thought that I would laugh during yoga, but Andrea sure changed that! She is warm, welcoming and full of positive energy - which is reflected throughout all of her classes. Each class she teaches is totally different, but always focused on technique and being mindful and respectful of your body and what is accessible that day. May days are always brighter after a class with Andrea!

  • Andrea’s classes are fun, energetic and well planned. I feel safe yet challenged and love her playlists.

  • Yoga always was really intimidating to me, I would come to the odd class. It wasn’t until last summer when I tried out a fit flow class with Andrea that I found myself to a weekly commitment to a class. I found myself planning any social engagements around my 7pm class. As I’ve grown in my yoga practice, I still find myself looking forward to Andrea sharing her fun, humble, easy going energy with every single person in the room. Not only has she contributed to my love for yoga, but she sparked an interest for me to pursue my own teacher designation. I’m so grateful for Andrea as a friend & teacher.

  • As someone who was new to yoga it was a little intimidating stepping onto the mat. Andrea helped relieve that anxiety with her positive, cheery attitude and lighthearted practice. Don’t get me wrong - it was still a work out! But there was opportunity to laugh and not take yourself too seriously. Andrea is an excellent teacher that will push you to improve and build your strength in a welcoming environment.

  • Honestly I was never much for Yoga, I wouldn’t consider myself very “zen” (I’m Italian let me live) I found Andrea’s class because In Fine Feather has an amazing offering of a pay what you can commuity class. 5 minutes into Andrea’s class I turned to my friend and said “damn is this a Yoga class or an hour of core?” She laughed, we cried accomplished (but sore) tears the next day, and kept going back for more, because she makes it that FUN! Each week I’m just THAT much more sturdier than the week before (and I can say with confidence it’s her sense of humour that makes me return over and over.

  • Andrea always brings a fun spark to class that makes yoga practice extra enjoyable. She encourages you to try new poses (even if you fail miserably! It’s all part of the process!) and helps you to find your strengths and develop on your weaknesses. Whether it’s 2 or 20 people in class, you feel like she can just find the right cues to motivate the room. Andrea is an amazing instructor and I’m so glad to have found her!

    Stephanie F

  • I think what I enjoy most about Andrea’s style as a yoga teacher is that she always works to meet her students where they are at each class. Even when you have been attending her classes for quite a while, she doesn’t have expectations for your practice. If you are having a day where your body isn’t performing as well as it usually does, she meets you in that space. If you are having a day where you are feeling like you can do anything, she meets you in that space. In this way, she is able to make everyone feel like they are being supported and guided in a way that is inclusive of people of all ability levels.

    Cara

  • I always appreciate Andrea’s lightheartedness and humor in her yoga classes. I know how seriously she takes teaching, but her classes are never serious. I also think she takes a “client” centred approach in all the work she does. She always takes time to work with people where they are at and reminds people that there’s no right or wrong way to move (or live).
