Andrea Marcum

Having started in competitive gymnastics, Andrea Marcum, a Santa Cruz, California native, began instructing yoga in 1999 and soon opened her own studio, U Studio, in Los Angeles in 2006.

In a city filled with yoga stars and behemoth studios Marcum launched U Studio to success through her distinctive core intensive Vinyasa flow classes. U Studio has won critical acclaim, no doubt due to Marcum's passion and dedication. She relishes in the transformation yoga brings her students and the community it encourages.

When not in her studio, Andrea Marcum teaches workshops and leads retreats in Bali, Costa Rica and around the world. She has been featured in Shape, Self, C Magazine, Huffington Post and the LA Times. Marcum is an Ambassador for Lululemon and Manduka and writes for Gaia, MindBodyGreen, and is a Lifestyle Editor for Origin Magazine. Though her early childhood aspirations were to be a fairy princess, she is pretty happy with the way things have turned out.

"Andrea's combination of a challenging class, and a great sense of humor are unique, intelligent, and always leave me feeling better when I leave than when I arrived. She is an amazing teacher and I love her class." -Heather Graham, actress

                  In Mexico with Andrea Marcum
                  Explore tortoise pose (kurmasana) to inspire self-care. This challenging slow-and-steady practice physically maps out the component parts that build tortoise pose including deep hip- and hamstring-openers, forward folds, arm balances, and challenging balancing poses. Thematically, this class also reveals that, like a turtle, we need to get beneath our hard outer shell and into our contemplative inner landscape if we want to create lasting progress and change. With kurmasana, as in life, it’s the journey and not the destination that matters.

                                  A vinyasa practice influenced by Iyengar and Ashtanga styles. Feel the long Iyengar-influenced holds with the assistance of blocks to set up the choreography of the vinyasa flow to come. The practice then shifts toward more movement and flow, revealing some of the differences between Iyengar’s techniques and the pacing of Ashtanga. This practice is a fun little experiment of yoga styles that allows you to experience the same postures in Iyengar and Ashtanga-esque settings.

                                                              Andrea Marcum
                                                              In this thirty minute class from Andrea Marcum dive right into upper body toning and strengthening. Give your shoulders, arms and core a run for their money, and come out “guns” blazing and ready to bare arms. Please note that this class has a very specific purpose, and isn’t intended to replace a longer more involved yoga practice. It is highly recommend that you have fun with this and modify as needed. When we have fun, we are more likely to be consistent, and consistency is essential to create real change. This video is part of our Yoga Sculpt Fusion practice guide.

It’s a playful sequence with serious sculpting to get fit for summer. Physical strength feeds our courage too, so we’ll stare down a few walls while we’re at it. Your inversion practice and your tank tops will thank you. This is a class designed to target upper body strength and is not intended to replace a more thorough practice.

Former NFL linebacker Keith Mitchell (student in this practice) used yoga and meditation as part of his rehabilitation after a neck injury during a game that left him paralyzed. He prefers a nurturing, replenishing practice to a sweaty workout and reminds us that there's nothing wimpy about adding a bit of yin to our yang.

As an athlete, whether you're too tight or intimidated to practice yoga, here’s a straightforward, approachable sequence that will help loosen up those of us who are feeling inflexible and performance-driven. It's the recipe for freedom when cycling, running, cross-fit training (you name it) has us feeling locked up. There are no pretzel poses or acrobatic booby traps, just badly needed psoas and hip flexor stretches and shoulder girdle and thoracic spine openers for our explosive training friends. This video is part of our Yoga for Athletes Guide.
