33: Directing Dance to Yoga Teacher Training: Andrea Lodico’s Journey to Merging the Two Careers

In this week's episode of the Full-Time Yoga Teacher Podcast, I sit down with Andrea Lodico, a seasoned yoga teacher and director based in New York City. Andrea and I first connected during the Threes Physiyoga Advanced YTT program, a science-informed training that applies physical therapy principles to the foundations of yoga. With a rich background as both a yoga teacher and the director of a dance company, Andrea brings a unique blend of skills, from budgeting and organization to leadership and strategic planning, into the yoga world. We explore her journey of leading yoga teacher training programs and organizing transformative yoga retreats, and how she creates accessible, individualized, and somatic yoga practices that empower students to move with awareness and balance. Whether you're a yoga teacher or a practitioner, this conversation offers valuable insights on cultivating a sustainable yoga practice and teaching career while leveraging diverse skill sets for success.
