This coming week I start a new weekly yoga class, Sta(y)ble, rooted in seasonal and life changes from the perspective of Ayurveda, and a series, Grounded Action, to help us stay grounded in heightened situations and raise money for HEAL Palestine. Both take place at Kalamazoo Backyard Yogis.

Hi, I’m Andy. New Orleans has inspired me and leaves me wanting more of its essence - creativity, community, joy. The abundance of care & connection here has been astounding. As I move to Michigan (from Montana) this Spring, May I embody the kind of acceptance so freely given in this magical place.
