Andrea’s classes are joyful, inclusive, and comfortable, and they bring me peace. Andrea makes everyone feel welcome. You can focus on the physical, learn about your own breathing and relaxation, or take a deeper spiritual path. Andrea encourages you to be you. When you leave, you always feel better. Your classes are great! T.K.
As a mother of two young children, I have little time to myself, and Andrea’s yoga class allows me to schedule guilt-free time in my week to just focus on MY body and MY mind. Andrea’s soft voice and sense of humour make each session both meaningful and enjoyable, and my body feels stretched and strong. It’s the perfect mix of quiet time with an occasional and much-needed chuckle. It is my favourite night of the week! JW
My lessons with Andrea Roth have become a MUST in my life. Every week that I join her yoga class I have a clearer mind, more supple body and cope far better with the little stresses of life. She has become my teacher, mentor and friend. I love all the little extras that she includes for her students and always feel like a family member. L.R.
I first met Andrea 3 years ago and her approach to yoga was a refreshing, stimulating change from the few yoga classes that I had previously attended. Andrea appreciates how a maturing body moves and feels. She readily modifies postures to not only accommodate joint stiffness or injuries, but importantly reminds us to “listen to our bodies”. As a health care professional, this is critical to me. When I see clients with yoga injuries, my immediate thought is they have the wrong teacher. Andrea takes care of you; but just as easily, she can safely push you and your body to new levels. Andrea lives the yoga lifestyle – she doesn’t just preach it. While we all welcome the quiet breathing, meditation and relaxation, we also laugh. Andrea’s yoga is for today’s real world. It has become a integral part of my wellness routine. CB
Andrea’s yoga class has been life changing for me. I have finally been able to find peace in myself and that extends to my life. She’s an enthusiastic and fun teacher who really helps you accept yourself and your body however it is. I am able to be completely in the moment when I’m in her class and leave my worries outside. My weeks are always better when I’ve been to yoga with Andrea! S.W.
There are two things I love about Andrea’s yoga classes. The first is simply Andrea – her passion and enjoyment of yoga is hard to hide and it feels good to spend time with someone who so obviously enjoys what they do. The second is the weekly opportunity to be reminded to slow down and take some time for my body. I know that when I’m ninety and my body is still moving around on its own, I’ll be saying thank you to both Andrea (for her encouragement) and myself (for listening to her)! LM
Andrea Roth’s teaching style is down to earth and practical as she combines mental, physical and spiritual teachings. I would highly recommend Andrea’s classes to add a positive outlook to your day. S.H.
It was about 15 years ago that I first thought of giving Yoga a try. At the time I was suffering from severe panic attacks and experiencing low energy.
Andrea Roth became the gift that brought healing back to my life again. The first healing started to seep back into my life when I allowed myself the luxury of deeply being still and letting go with Andrea’s beginning and ending meditation time. In times when I would get the squirlies, I would hear Andrea’s soothing voice saying.. “Just Let Go” which became a daily mantra for me. As Andrea guided us through our different poses, she would gift us with her humour or guiding words that made us truly learn to be with the pose with a quiet mind… her words “you have no where to go and nothing to do but be here” brought audible sighs and smiles from her students. Andrea has truly taught me that Yoga is achieving a balance of the Mind, Spirit and Body. From a place a gratitude & wellness I rate Andrea # 1 !!! BJ
Yes, Yoga! It’s hard for Andrea to hide her passion for yoga and thank goodness for that! Andrea’s constant reminders to ‘let go’, ‘listen to your body’ and ‘wherever you are tonight is fine’ allows me to leave my competitive nature at the door and just enjoy! Her ability to cater to a wide range of experience levels within a class means that regardless of how I’m feeling, mentally and physically, on any particular night, I’ll come away refreshed and energized.

Experiencing Andrea Roth’s yoga classes was, for me, like bearing witness to and participating in, an inspiring, beautiful and collective work of art. Her expert guidance, poignant insights, present-moment-awareness inducing questions and injections of humour made each class a unique and dynamic experience. Andrea’s friendly and welcoming personality helped generate an engaging environment of class participation. Her kinetic energies would infuse the class with animation and her tranquil words and calming voice (combined at times with the exquisite fragrance of aroma therapy) would induce a peaceful, soothing and rejuvenating ambiance. For this journey into the wonderful world of yoga and meditation, and for the calming, healing and liberating transformation each class became, I am so very grateful. The introduction to yoga you provided me has left a positive and lasting impression – Thank you! T.
After having studied yoga with many different teachers over the years and feeling frustrated by an intuitive sense that “something was missing” and a longing to go deeper, I got very lucky during my pregnancy of 1997 to find a wonderful teacher in Andrea Roth. She is a true yogini and helped me come to understand the yogic lifestyle better then any other teacher I have met to date. Andrea brings so much more to her teaching then just the physicality of doing asanas. Through sharing her practice and the examples of her lifestyle, she is able to awaken in her students a sense of the deeper philosophical truths of yoga; she instills a hungering within us to meet ourselves on a new level. This is multi-dimensional yoga in all its wondrous glory and it is rare to find any teacher with such gifts to share. Truly an inspiration, Lakshmi (Andrea) infectiously brings unequaled joy and enthusiasm to all she meets and all she does.
Andrea, my yoga teacher for the last 2 years, is very knowledgeable about many different aspects of yoga and spirituality. She is an energetic and caring teacher who is deeply involved in her own spiritual practice. She brings humour and enthusiasm to her classes. Since studying yoga with Andrea, I am not only more flexible and disciplined in my practice but I am also healthier and more confident. J.R.
