She believes social dance has enormous power to connect people to their bodies and deepen their relationships, with results that ripple out into a more compassionate and empathetic world.

The dance floor was the one place where I was given full permission to be a follower. It allowed me to be sensitive and to listen to my partner’s subtle invitations. It required me to be patient and to respond. For once, I wasn’t pushing forward but rather could settle into the present moment. Following in dance gives my life balance. I have great respect for the good leads who guide me with gentle clarity and deep listening. Together, we can create magic. 

In life, I strive for freedom and balance. I am grateful for the tools embedded in partner dance, teaching me how it feels in my body when both qualities harmonize.

 I incorporate Tantra into my life by focusing on connection: to self, to others, and to the whole of the cosmos. It’s about curating reverence, intention, and setting sacred space in all that I do. Tantra is a non-dual path where all is welcome: all emotions and experiences. I trust that whatever is happening in the Now Moment is meant to be, and that Life is Happening for me, always &  in all-the-ways. In daily life, whether it’s through mindful movement, herbal medicine, time in nature, or sensual & sexual experiences, I honor the divine; in the plants, the earth, and in my beloveds. Life is a reciprocal relationship, by offering prayerful sacred space in both my actions and my interactions, I stay connected to the life force that flows through everything. 

I enjoyed Venuses warm facilitation at conscious co-loving retreat in Faro. Venus felt stable and secure like a rock, and at the same time giving the softness of a Big mama for the group. I noticed quickly that she was the one with the special powers in the facilitation team, and she was able to gently guide the group trough deep practices and places. Venus is the one that helps birthing retreats, festivals and deep work!

I love how Venus teaches about pleasure and consent. With her gentle and sexy integrity, she made everyone fell safe in her presence.

Starting as a young child, my parents would influence me in the practice of being present and aware. As I grew older, I found myself exploring more of what yoga had to offer. I travel to India in my teenage years and could feel the energy pulling me in. 

    Upon return to the States, I enrolled in a Teacher certification course and got certified to teach. Ever since I have been connecting students to their breath, and leading them on their own path of enlightenment.  

We strive to provide an environment that fosters healing, growth, and transformation. My goal is to help people find inner peace and improve their overall well-being.

  I incorporate yoga in my daily life by finding joys in everything that I do.  I find time to connect deeply with my self, in Meditation, Vinyasa, and Awareness of natures daily gifts 

 Andrea Price has been my yoga teacher for several years. She manages to bring a combination of love and focus and joy and pure yoga magic to every yoga class that she teaches. She inspires a following of people who just absolutely love her and love what she brings to yoga she makes yoga easy for beginners or advance people, and pushes you to a point that you didn’t think you could get to because she has so much belief in your ability to do yoga. She is kind and gentle and grateful and has changed my life in so many ways the classes I’ve taken with her have absolutely transformed me as a person, and everyone who comes in contact with her is blessed and highly recommend Andrea as a yoga teacher, especially to people who are attending this retreat. I think they will find it to be absolutely transformative for their relationships.
