Andrea will skillfully explain the true nature and power of Emotions and the human body and the understandings necessary for emotional healing. She will teach you the empowering techniques that guarantee sustainable emotional fitness.

What is Kundalini Yoga?

Kundalini means “Pure Awareness” Kundalini Yoga is a vast and marvelous Yoga that raises and distributes that pure awareness with your energetic field. The practice of this transformational Yoga takes you from sense of self that is limited and guarded to the sense of your true identity of infinite and whole. Kundalini Yoga is so effective because it is so comprehensive and do-able. It includes physical exercises, breath, music and mantra technology and was introduced to the west by Yogi Bhajan, Ph.D. in 1968 as a yoga for the times to assist in coping with the extreme flow of information and energy of these times. It is gentle and powerful.

What guests say about Andrea and the Emotional Fitness Retreats:

“ I went to the retreat with a deep sense of hopelessness and depression, really in desperation with a “this will probably not work either attitude”.  The Emotional Fitness Retreat resulted in a turn around of my life.  I have relief from the deep grief and hopelessness and find it a bit startling. My life looks bright for the first time in so many years and I feel like myself again able to enjoy and plan.  I cannot thank you enough for this work and the opportunity to by happy again.   Paula , Miami , FL  

“I got home and expected to crumble when re-entering my living situation. To my great surprise, I reacted totally differently. I simply can’t find the resentment and jealously. I actually have compassion for the people I thought were causing me such pain.  I cannot express what a miracle this is for me. I have struggled for years with these negative emotions and they are gone! I feel the pounds of heavy dark weight that was dragging me down has lifted.” A. F., New Orleans , LA

“ I feel better than I ever have in my whole adult life and I owe it to Andrea and The Emotional Fitness Techniques. It really is amazing to me.  After such long term ingrained habits and patterns I am free to respond in the way I only imagined I could in the past.  I feel like a new person with a new hopeful and joyous life.”  Joseph G., Chicago

“It was absolutely meant to be for me to attend The Emotional Fitness Retreat.  It has released me from the web of confusion and pain, including physical pain that I was caught in for so many years.  It’s been six months since the retreat and it’s still working.  This is truly transformation! My life reality is clear and purposeful and my health is at the highest level it has been in 7 years. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!  Reilly, S. Santa Monica , CA
