Andrea

Long Island City · Joined October 2022

I’m a yoga & meditation practitioner, teacher and public health advocate for the past 10 years who aligns and balances modern life with the ancient Vedic and indigenous teachings. My intention in this life is to continuously evolve along the path of yoga for myself while sharing the teachings with Truth Seekers to live a wealthy, healthful and spiritually abundant life.

My Lifestyle

My lifestyle follows Vedic, Ayurvedic and indigenous traditions with an emphasis on living a green/eco-friendly life. My energy is focused on continuous evolution on the spiritual path through Vedanta, Self-Study (Swadayaya), practice, and sharing the teachings. Since 2016, I provide spiritual, vegan/vegetarian, health, green living, Yoga and Meditation coaching.

Fun Facts About Me

I have never spent more than 9 months in the same place. I lived in ashrams for two years in India and was one of the main teachers in yoga, pranayama (conscious breathing), Vedanta (yoga philosophy), meditation and chanting. I am a Bhakti singer.

Neighborhood

Getting around the area

Astoria is known as one of the best cuisine neighborhoods in all of NYC. Within a 5 block radius you can enjoy Korean, Greek, Latin, Vietnamese, Thai, Japanese, Chinese, Indian, Lebanese and more. Most restaurants have vegan and vegetarian options on their menus and most will accommodate vegan requests off the menu. Besides food, there is a movie theatre within a 7 minute walk, the Moving Image Museum and the Kauffman Film Studios. If you're up for a stroll you can walk (or take the bus) to Astoria Park, Socrates Sculpture Park, Rainey Park, or Noguchi Museum. There are 2 train stations each within 7-9 minutes walk that take about 15 minutes into Manhattan. Buses travel on the avenues and run frequently. Citibike is close by and a fun way to move around. Astoria is very bike friendly.

A closer look at the stay

About

This home is also the home of two calm and social KITTENS. Kindly, note for those with CAT ALLERGY. Vegetarians and Vegans both welcomed.

The space

Feel at home on this first floor apartment. Master bedroom, your humble abode, has a full sized bed with an oak dresser to accommodate all of your personal belongings and a closet. When kicking back on the earthy couch, enjoy the 55in HD Smart TV with access to Youtube, Netflix & Amazon Prime Video. The kitchen is designed for a home chef and exclusively for your vegetarian cooking-in nights. The cabinets are filled with all of the oils and spices you could dream of and for vegans/vegetarians all of the legumes you could ever imagine. And if you really want to have the ultimate night fill up the tub and drift away. Kindly note, CAT ALLERGY AWARE: this apartment is the home of two gentle and social KITTENS. This is an eco-friendly home that has close to 0 single use items. Here you are welcomed to try out for yourself how to live a green life.

The kitchen

The kitchen is designed for a home chef and exclusively for your cooking at home nights. It is a full sized kitchen with full-sized appliances (in NYC many kitchens are kitchenettes and have small size appliances). The cabinets are filled with all of the oils and spices you could dream of and a grand variety of legumes all for your use.

Other things to note

The neighborhood and building is quiet and laidback. The same for the apartment, as it does not share walls with any other apartment. There is free and paid street parking and paid garage parking within a few blocks.

If you have a Zip Car account there are two Zip Car pickup locations less than 10 minutes walking.
