Don’t suffer the second arrow.

In life, pain is inevitable.
Like being struck by an arrow…
We didn’t ask for it. But it lands—and it hurts.
But suffering?
That’s the second arrow—
The one we fire at ourselves.
It’s the tension we carry in our bodies…
The inner critic that won’t go quiet…
The stories we replay long after the moment has passed.
At Mindful Yoga with Andrea, yoga is more than movement.
It’s a space to soften.
To meet discomfort with kindness.
To breathe through the noise… and come home to yourself.
You’ll learn to greet your edge with compassion—
Whether in a posture,
Or in the stillness that’s harder to sit with than any pose.
Because surrender isn’t giving up—
It’s opening up.
To presence.
To healing.
To the unknown.
Classes are for mixed abilities.

Om Shanti
