Andrew was first inspired by the wisdom traditions of Asia during his years at university, where he majored in East Asian Studies. After graduating in 2001, he set off to travel and see the world, and ended up spending the better part of a decade studying with teachers of the physical and subtle arts, all across the globe. Andrew is incredibly grateful to all his teachers, and to all the lineages of teaching which he has had the good fortune to come across in his studies. In particular, he cherishes his time spent in Beijing, China, where he studied intensively with taijiquan and qigong masters Wang Hong Er and Sebastian Lee, as well as his live-in apprenticeship to the late ninja master, Dr. Glenn J. Morris.

Andrew's relationship to Yoga was transformed in 2004, when he began studying a unique style of Hatha- and Kundalini-Yoga in Miami with Santiago Dobles and Tao Semko, based on a system developed by a Romanian lineage of yogis. Andrew continued to absorb these teachings under the tutelage of Swami Vivekananda Saraswati at Agama Yoga in southern Thailand, where he lived for several years as both a student and teacher.

After years of direct investigation into the nature and meaning of the human experience, Andrew returned to the academic world to earn a Master's degree in psychology. This time spent re-immersed in formal education helped him to better understand the experiences that came about as a result of his yogic practice, and gave him a stronger framework with which to understand and guide other practitioners' development. Now, when teaching, Andrew strives to incorporate both conceptual and hands-on learning for his students, with the intent to foster an ongoing discovery of the deeper and subtler layers of self, consciousness, and acute presence.
