When she moved back to the Boston area in 2006 she completed the Level 1 (200 hour) training at the Guru Ram Das Ashram in Millis, MA. In 2019 Andrea completed the Level 2 module entitled “Vitality and Stress” in 2018.

Giuliana is certified a in Divine Sleep Yoga Nidra and is excited to be sharing the many benefits of this meditative practice! Working in healthcare she became intrigued by holistic therapies that allowed healing of the physical, mental, and emotional levels of self. This practice allows deep connection with one’s innate ability for restoration and rebalancing. We often turn to outside sources for validation, reassurance, or healing when what we are truly searching for is already within us. Yoga nidra allows us to access these places through much needed rest.

The benefits of yoga nidra continue off the mat helping practitioners to navigate many personal challenges with love, clarity, and compassion. It is accessible to all levels of physical ability, ages, and walks of life.
