YOGA MASTERMINDS: Adventure Retreat
You're driven and ambitious - yet you're a standstill with your asana practice. You take classes 3 or 4 times a week and you've finally figured out how to kick up to a handstand at the wall, but you're stuck there. So you read every anatomy and sequencing book you can get your hands on and listen to youtube tutorial videos by famous yogis, but for some reason it still all falls short. You just wish that you could finally meet a teacher who could help you achieve handstand and other dream poses you know you're capable of doing.
You also want to manifest greatness in other parts of your life - in your career, finances, and relationships. If you could only take some time away to really reflect on what it is you truly want out of life, you'd have a clear path to follow to achieve all the goals that you know you're capable of achieving.
...And maybe you're also ready for a BIG adventure...
Like you, I've strived for greatness in my yoga practice and life practice over the last decade. And now, after having practiced for almost 13 years and taught for 10, I'm now in a place where I teach workshops internationally, run a teacher training that I've created myself, and also fly across the country every month to instruct private clients on both the east and west coasts. I've achieved a level of impact that I know YOU are capable of too.
And so that's why I'm excited to share with you my treasure trove of wisdom - a compendium of strategies and tactics I know will help you to get closer to the biggest and brightest version of yourself...

“Andrew is an incredible teacher. I’ve been to numerous yoga trainings and have attended Yoga Journal Conference several times—and I have never had a teacher like Andrew before. In his class he breaks down the poses so that they make sense (yes, even the really difficult ones!) In the past, I’ve kicked up to an inversion and“hoped for the best” - Andrew’s class is different - there’s no mystery or wishing—there’s just REAL practicing. On top of that he is smart, patient, kind, metaphorical and funny. He is up there with the real yoga gurus— What a gift!”
““What I liked the most about how Andrew Abaria led the workshop is his emphasis on simplicity and focus on the small moments. His handstand workshop was about drawing parallels (literally and figuratively) between warrior poses and handstands. He found a way to show us that simple poses can be gateways to a deep practice and you don’t need a complex sequence to make the practice intense. Thank you Andrew for an awesome class!””
