The process of studying, searching, and understanding YOGA, yes, YOGA in big words, with Andrea Brook became one of the most exciting things I have ever done in my life. Not only because she put into context everything I already knew, not just because she taught me the meaning and reason behind every asana in my body and soul, not because she introduced me to the complex and yet simple world of meditation, but because I understood very soon in our practices that Andrea was not only a yoga teacher, she was, is, and will always be yoga herself.

Andrea Brook is a master of life itself, with no fear to share her wisdom and her experiences. She opened my eyes and my soul to a better perception and understanding of myself and I thank her for that.

Andrea began the incredible life practices of yoga and meditation in 1995. Having broken her back as a girl, she recognized that yoga was the perfect practice to support her in rehabilitating her back and living a dynamic and active lifestyle. Andrea began as an Astanga Yoga practitioner and started teaching yoga in 1998, after studying in Mysore, India with the Guru of Astanga Yoga, Sri K. Pattabhi Jois. Andrea returned to India in 2000 to study Integral Yoga in Rishikesh, India with Swami Vivekananda Saraswati, and then continued her studies with the world renowned Thich Nhat Hahn, to deepen her practice of mindfulness meditation. Throughout the decades, she has continued to study and practice many styles of yoga including kundalini, Jivamukti, vinyasa (flow), and restorative yoga, as well as meditation and breathing techniques, with amazing teachers all over the world. Andrea’s teaching style incorporates the wealth of her experience, and the expansiveness of her studies gives her the ability to offer each student exactly what they need to support them to cultivate the lives they truly want.

Andrea has led workshops and retreats around the world including Richard Branson’s Necker Island in the British Virgin Islands, the Omega Institute, the TED Conference, and festivals including Wanderlust, Burning Man, Symbiosis, the Envision Festival in Costa Rica and so many more.

As a musician and installation artist, Andrea has toured since 2001, presenting visually and sonically stunning performances and transforming architecture and natural environments into large scale musical instruments, including the Coliseum in Rome, the Space Needle in Seattle, the Temple at Burning Man and the Grand Theater in Shanghai.

In 2013, Andrea began Sonic Butterfly Productions to unite her talents. She designed her own long-string harp, Sonic Butterfly, with 26 strings that are at minimum 60ft long and expand out on each side of the performer and over the audience. The 2 resonating chambers look like butterfly wings complete with Projection or LED Light wings.

 Jeremy Dee, CEO of Corporate Realty Associates

Sonic Butterfly is based on the concept of transformation, like the butterfly, re-creating ourselves into the full expression of who we truly are with all of our beauty shining. These transformational experiences are more than performances, as they engage the audience, inviting them to be participants, allowing them to transcend limitation and inspiring their truth, their creativity, their authentic self to fly.

Sonic Butterfly is an incredible addition to festivals and events. In addition to performances, Sonic Butterfly Yoga takes you on a vibrational, rhythmic, physical, energetic and conscious journey of transformation, combining the unique teaching style of yoga teacher, Andrea Brook, with the exquisite music of Sonic Butterfly. The ascending overtones and healing harmonics of long string vibrations provide the perfect soundtrack for the yoga practice, as they transmute and sublimate one’s energy to promote physical/energetic health and creative inspiration.

Total Back Health & Yoga for Families

 Total Back Health

Andrea understands the impact of back pain on the ability to enjoy one’s life on all levels. As a teenager, her L5 vertebrae fractured and fell inward, fusing together with her sacrum, and a web of scar tissue formed throughout her back, limiting her movement and causing enormous pain. For over a decade, she avoided physical exercise turning to drugs and alcohol to manage the pain. In 1995, Andrea discovered that through the powerful practice of yoga, she could heal her back and her life. Andrea can you support you to not only improve physically, she is dedicated to your total back health by helping you to address the mental, emotional and physical habit patterns that may cause or exacerbate the pain.

“I have been going to Andrea for private yoga instruction for only two months now, but I already feel worlds better.  I am recovering from half a dozen major spine surgeries and lumbar spine trauma that dates back over 20 years.  There have been points where I literally couldn’t make it out of bed, and whole months when it was difficult to leave the house.  It’s wonderful to be active again, and I can feel my body opening up more day by day.  I look forward to more work with Andrea, and I am certain that her experience and unique intuition will continue to be a valuable tool in my recovery.”

Philip J Asquith, Owner Ojai Olive Oil

Yoga is an extraordinary practice to support families on a multitude of levels.
