Andrea Franz Parks was first interested in yoga as a child. She would study and try to copy yoga poses she saw in one of her mother's books. She finally found her first formal yoga class in 2001. She tried several different styles of yoga before finding Marsha and Anusara yoga in 2004. The universal principles of alignment of Anusara yoga gave Andrea the confidence to explore each pose like she hadn't before. She took every workshop that came to town and even traveled to Colorado for the first North American Anusara Grand Gathering.

She has participated in multiple workshops with John Friend, Moses Brown, Desiree Rumbaugh, Amy Ippoliti, Betsey Downing, and Martin Kirk. She knew she wanted to learn more so she signed up for Immersion I and Immersion II with Marsha Nieland. With Andrea's background in teaching and coaching she naturally gravitated toward teaching yoga and graduated from Marsha Nieland's Teacher Training Program in 2009. Andrea loves sharing her knowledge of yoga with her students while she continues her own study.
