Andrea Dyer, RYT and
Cheryl Barnes, Esq., RYT
mind|body|fitness yoga was founded by two friends with a passion for yoga’s path and an intention to help shine a light on this path so others can be on this journey!
Andrea and Cheryl feel passionately that the practice of being mindful in yoga asana and the transitions between the poses help us build a strong yoga practice and healthy, focused lives off the mat. Life is all about dealing with transitions - growing, aging, dealing with change and facing tough challenges without flinching, running away or fighting. Their practices reflect a balance of energy through the flowing vinyasa practice and the insightful restorative practices like Yin yoga.
Andrea established classes in Greensboro - teaching in fitness clubs, yoga studios, corporate settings, private sessions, and free public offerings in Lindley Park. She was the mind|body coach for the Vipers Wrestling Club where she coached youth athletes using yoga and meditation techniques. She opened the mind|body|fitness yoga studio in 2009 after her 20 year career in a Fortune 50 company came to an end. Andrea is known for creating a warm, accepting, fun environment for students to advance on their yoga paths.
Cheryl established classes in Midlothian, Virginia - teaching in fitness clubs and yoga studios. A long time student and practitioner of yoga, Cheryl’s passion for yoga inspires her students to explore the edges of their practice. Cheryl has recently re-established her career as a lawyer and has put her teaching on hiatus, but continues to study and practice yoga.
