Andrea Jasper
Andrea Jasper is the founder and inspiration behind Studio A Pilates and Yoga. She was born and raised in southern California, and has always been inspired by the beauty our surrounding landscape has to offer. If she is not working hard in the studio, you can find her adventuring out on the ocean, hiking local trails or digging in the dirt of her garden. While training for Triathlons, she turned to Pilates as a way to regain and maintain her flexibility. Curious about the method, Andrea ventured to learn more and was fortunate to study and become a STOTT Pilates Certified Level 2 Instructor in Mat, Reformer, Cadillac, Chair and Barrels. Soon after she welcomed Pilates into her life, she was gifted an encounter with the beautiful practice of yoga. Andrea felt the call to share this new awareness and is now a SmartFLOW certified instructor, always the student of Annie Carpenter and Tiffany Russo. Andrea’s most recent discovery, through eager curiosity about the human body, is the revolutionary MELT Method. She had the privilege to study directly under MELT creator, Sue Hitzmann, and is an authorized Level 1 MELT Instructor.
Andrea is devoted to her practice and her craft and retains her certifications yearly. She is excited to travel to NYC to continue her study of The MELT Method for Pilates this April. STOTT Master Trainers John Garey and Marshall Eklund keep her game strong with Pilates coursework including Injuries and Special Populations, CORE, Halo Trainer, Zenga and Prenatal Pilates. Inspiration and expansion in yoga teacher trainings and workshops include work with Richard Rosen, Seane Corn, Leslie Kazadi, Desi Bartlett, Kino MacGregor, Jason Crandell and Maty Ezraty.
Andrea is thankful for the opportunity to knowledgeably instruct her clients and fellow practitioners with positive, loving and peaceful energy. It is her deepest gratitude to facilitate Studio A, a space where students are reminded to live in the present moment, connect to their pure breath and exist in their true nature.
