Welcome to my Site!
I’m Andrea and I’m a yoga & meditation teacher, as well as the founder of Body Mind Light. As a lifelong spiritual devotee, I created this space to be a virtual hub for the techniques, traditions and philosophy of Classical Yoga. I welcome you to explore my articles, my online shop and my classes & meditations to deepen your practice, find inspiration and enhance an abundantly mindful lifestyle.
Born in Thanjavur, India, I come from a rich Tamil Christian heritage where spirituality had always been a part of daily life. My path to yogic living began as a personal exploration—an inner call to understand myself more deeply, think critically and live with truthfulness and integrity. Over time, yoga became not just a practice but a way to grow as a human being, empowering me and other women to step into our strength, wisdom and spiritual freedom. Now based in Ontario, Canada, I share and practice yoga to a virtually global community as a way of living with purpose and authenticity.
The roots and principles of this age-old discipline lie deep in culture, spiritual traditions, Vedic texts and the very identity of South Asia itself. But yoga should never be misconstrued as a religion, nor should it demand anyone to do, feel or believe anything that doesn’t feel right for them. Yoga is a process. It is a way of being. It is a framework to live a spiritually rich life. And it is a personal experience that is unique to each individual.
One of my principal messages is that yoga is much more than physical postures! Mindfulness, breathing, meditation, cleansing, philosophy, energies and behaviours carry equal importance – both on and off the mat. As a teacher, my approach to propagating yoga revolves around these concepts.
Sharing this ancient wisdom with you is a privilege, and I hope it inspires you to take your own practice to a deeper and more meaningful level. I welcome you to discover the secrets of this timeless science, revel in an abundance of positive vibrations and realize your own remarkable part to play in this world.
