Get to Know: Andrew Pietrobono
How would you describe your class style/what can we expect?
I’d say a peaceful start until we find our breath and set our intention. Then a warm-up with Sun Salutations followed by a lot of traditional and strength-based poses.
Who’s on your playlist?
Indie, dance/electronic and a lot of oldies (but goodies) like Cat Stevens' - Peace Train :)
Where did you grow up and how long have you been in NYC?
I grew up in Wayne, NJ and have been in NYC for about five years after spending my college years in South Carolina and Florida. My relationship with NYC is love/hate…but lately I am in the loving stage - if only we had palm trees it would be pure LOVE.
What’s your favorite hobby/activity (outside of teaching yoga)?
Hiking is my #1. Aside from that, I like to run, bike, and travel. Beach time is the best time!
Any must-visit restaurants or shops in Brooklyn?
My absolute favorite place in Brooklyn is Baba’s Pierogies in Gowanus, I order from here at least once a week. Their Mac & Cheese pierogies are impossible to recreate (I tried) and are truly delicious!
Tell us one thing we would be surprised to know about you…
By day I am an Operations & Systems manager. I am also a certified HR Professional. I like to think of teaching Yoga as using the complete opposite side of my brain. It has proven to be very fun.
Catch Andrew live at our Brooklyn Heights studio weekly.
