HEAD TEACHER – JIVAMUKTI YOGA, ASHTANGA YOGA AND YOGA THERAPY (800 HOURS)
Andrea Everingham began her journey with yoga 15 years ago, quickly developing a serious relationship with many styles and teaching Ashtanga for 10 of those years.
It was when she stumbled into a Jivamukti class that a spark turned into an inferno and she fell in love with the style dubbed the ‘wild child’ of yoga.
Instantly knowing this was for her – this untamed style that takes all energy and fuses it harmoniously with traditional yoga practices, gifting the soul true liberation.
Fast-forward to today and she is a 500hr yoga therapist and a 300hr Jivamukti teacher – studying directly with its founders Sharon Gannon and David Life. Andrea’s passion and enthusiasm for sharing her knowledge fuels her teachings where exploring postures in a playful, present way instils the kind of liberated attitude found in her classes. Her classes are always fun, full of energy and a warmth that open hearts and creates smiles, inspiring you to work your own magic on the mat. Andrea has fast become known as one of the UK’s most versatile, energetic, and inspirational teachers – an open minded, dynamic, fearless and raw individual who is devoted to the continuous growth of her students. Her style of balancing high energy hands-on fun classes with deep relaxation infused with yogic teachings leaves you feeling uplifted, renewed, enlightened and connected.
Andrea is the founder of OneYoga Studio in Manchester and a regular contributor to ‘Ask The Expert’ (Manchester Evening News). She combines her many years of experience studying and working with the human body and movement with an in-depth study of nutrition and raw foods and their impact on overall wellbeing.

Is this training right for me?
“Becoming a teacher is about so much more than just choosing any course, receiving a certificate and standing in front of a class. Making the decision to teach should be a step in your journey towards deepening your understanding and relationship with yoga, as well as passing on a passion that has been lit within you.
Teaching is an incredible experience. Often fun and exciting, at times challenging, but immensely rewarding. It’s a journey, and we feel that it’s a journey that you should not have to take alone. We want our teachers to feel supported and empowered, from choosing the course and beyond, with the tools to rise beyond the challenges and the knowledge to revel in the celebration of sharing something great.
There are so many options out there for trainings to choose from. This is great, but can be a daunting prospect to know which is the right one of you. There are questions to ask ourselves even beyond whether its our preferred style of yoga or if it’s within our budget? Will the training leave you with the knowledge to confidently step into the role as a teacher? Will it deepen your understanding of yoga? Will it provide support after the course for any questions or situations that arise along my journey?
Andrea is one of my favourite yoga teachers. I say this as someone who has experienced classes with some incredible, well known teachers. The reason I hold Andrea in such high esteem is beyond her vibrant and fun personality, her obvious experience and knowledge, her ability to teach and communicate so articulately, and beyond Andrea being the real deal and embodying her yoga teaching through self practice, both on and off the mat.
My favourite thing about learning from Andrea is that she truly cares. She connects with everyone in her class and passionately desires to impart all she can upon her students. Its this caring quality that makes her teacher training so powerful.”
Jamie Isaac, Azulfit Founder
The journey of the training from committing to teaching your first class is one filled with excitement, challenge, nerves, and all the feels! Andrea is selective in running this course just once per annum for the right students for the specific reason she and her team are able to support you in creating a network amongst students where you’re able to take your first steps in the world of teaching confidently. This allows you to branch out into this new world at your pace having had the right support and guidance. By placing the assessment a few months post the training students have time to put into practice their teaching skills, giving them the best chance of qualifying with confidence and take their newfound skills to the next step of holding space and leading classes."
