Andrea Juhan has approached embodiment through many doorways: bodywork, yoga, dance of all kinds, hiking, motherhood, relationships, somatic psychotherapy, and meditation. Her path has included professional training, academic study, and a lifetime of dedicated personal practice. Andrea is deeply passionate about this work, drawn to the joy, creativity, and possibility it offers.

Three key areas have significantly shaped Andrea’s journey:

• She spent twelve years as a community member at the Esalen Institute, where she studied Gestalt Awareness Practice with Chris and Dick Price, Movement with Anna and Daria Halprin, Gabrielle Roth, and many other influential teachers in humanistic psychology and the healing arts. During her time at Esalen, she taught bodywork and dance and worked on the massage crew.
  
  
• Her training with Gabrielle Roth in the 5Rhythms® profoundly inspired her teaching and has guided her global movement and training work for over three decades.
  
  
• Andrea is also a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a member of the Training Faculty at the Rosenberg Institute for Integrative Body Psychotherapy (IBP), where her clinical work in somatic psychology continues to inform her approach.
  
  

In all her work—whether in classes, individual sessions, workshops, or trainings—Movement is the core medium. Andrea’s approach fosters emotional and relational intelligence, skillful regulation of lived experience, vitality, well-being, community connection, meditation, artistic expression, soul inquiry, and spiritual practice.

Prior to the pandemic, Andrea maintained a global teaching and training practice. She now leads ongoing online process groups, offers individual therapy and supervision, and volunteers with Open Floor International, a school devoted to embodied movement.
