Andrea Porter has been a student of Yoga since 1998 and has been teaching Yoga in Omaha since 2003. She is certified through the Omaha Yoga & Bodywork Center's 350-hour program, is a Registered Yoga Teacher with Yoga Alliance, and is the co-owner of On the Mat. She has studied extensively with Susi Gillespie Amendola, and is deeply grateful to Susi, as well as to Brent Bloom, Larisa Treskunova, Dr. Rolf Sovik, Dr. Michele Desmarais, Cora Wen, and all her teachers -- those who are still here and those who have gone before. Out of Andrea's traditional Yoga training has grown her passion for educating people that Yoga practices are for Every Body, and she teaches every class with the intention of giving students the space to explore their own practices in a safe and relaxed setting.
