Poses include Mountain, Upward Salute, Forward Fold, Halfway Lift, Plank, Low Plank, Cobra, Downward Facing Dog.

My teaching style is informed by my training in Vinyasa Yoga. I believe that Yoga is a dynamic practice that offers many benefits and ways of engaging with the practices. As a Yoga Educator I strive to empower young learners and teens while also helping to expand their understanding of Yoga’s roots and many practices.

Learners can expect high quality course materials; in addition to my work as an educator, I have a professional background in video production and graphic design. All of my videos and printable materials are mindfully created to offer experiences that are not only educational, but also beautiful and inspiring.

Ms. Dupree is a wonderful teacher! My daughter enjoyed yoga with her through the summer so of course, we sought her out for this single class opportunity as well. She is engaging, patient and knowledgeable in the benefits yoga can provide to kids early in their journeys (and throughout!) 😀

My 4yo had a great time! The teacher kept her engaged by reading a story about animals doing yoga. The use of the Hoberman Sphere for breathing was an excellent visual for the kids to mimic breathing patterns. I appreciated how the teacher included share time at the end. My daughter would take the class again when our schedule allows.

Ms. Andrea keeps the learners engaged and personalizes each class for the participants. She is always so willing to help and accommodate when needed. My child has generalized a lot of what she has learned in the class to different life experiences. It’s a great class!

My son loves this class so much. The skills he’s learning are so valuable but the best part is how Andrea makes sure every child feels seen and important. If we have to miss this class my kiddo is truly sad because it’s become one of his favorite parts of the week.

Ms. Dupree is an amazing, kind, and thoughtful yoga teacher that tries to teach to the needs of each student during each class. She presents mindfulness for young ones in an easy to understand way that enables them to visualize how mindfulness looks when applied by the individual. This class is a wonderful way to bring a bit of peace, kindness, and self reflection to an often hectic and stressful week (especially during exams or projects)!

My daughter has been attending Ms.Andrea’s Yoga sessions for almost a year and a half now. Ms. Andrea is a wonderful teacher – she is so meticulous and she takes an active interest in making sure the participants are involved for the session. She is very knowledgeable and I can clearly see she has a passion in teaching yoga, because she delivers only the best teaching. The introductory part of the session starts with a mini informative fact sharing with the students, in which she explains the importance of Meditation/Yoga/Breathing/Mindfulness etc., which is a great start. She is so calm and renders her session with great patience. I am so happy that my daughter has learnt a lot from Ms.Andrea. It’s been a wonderful experience for my daughter and I am happy to continue her yoga sessions with her in the future. I am so glad I found Ms.Andrea’s yoga classes

The best Process Art class. Andrea does a fantastic job with sharing invitations to various techniques/themes, but also respects individuality and students creative ideas/processes. Highly recommend.

Ms. Andrea is awesome! She is incredibly perceptive and encouraging and has a gentle way of quickly bringing the focus back while genuinely sounding engaged when the conversation goes off-topic. Immediately after class ended (which is perfectly timed to hold my daughter’s attention), Emilia exclaimed, “She’s so sweet! I can’t wait until next week!” Until then, Emilia has been practicing all the poses and breathing techniques.

My daughter greatly enjoyed this class. Ms. Andrea is very warm, patient with the kids and made my daughter feel comfortable. She is very knowledgeable about Yoga, the positions and meditation. This was my daughter’s first virtual class and she hopes to try out other classes on this site to develop her personal growth and interests.

Ms. Andrea is exceptionally kind and patient. She always follows the child’s interest and redirects them back to the topic seamlessly. What I like the most of the class is it’s not a step-by-step replication of teacher’s drawing or painting. Ms. Andrea encourages each kid to be creative in their own piece while demonstrating the techniques can be used in each kid’s project. My kid enjoyed the entire process of creation. This was my kid’s first class with Ms. Andrea. My daughter was a bit shy at the beginning and decided not to share her work. However, at the end of the class, she changed her mind. She felt safe and accepted in Ms. Andrea’s class.
