We’re Alana & Andrei

Yoga teachers, wellness coaches, and guides in the art of slowing down. We created Andala Wellness to challenge the idea that health means more hustle, more screens, and more pressure. Our approach is different: gentle, evidence-informed, and rooted in yoga philosophy as much as in modern science.

We believe transformation happens through small, sustainable rituals — practiced in community, not in isolation.
