ANDREA R.
A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away (well not that far, just in a small New England town during a cold winter day) a teenager in pain - unable to run or jump or engage in her favorite activities because of stabbing pain from a back injury - stumbled upon a hidden treasure in the form of a book on an ancient practice called Yoga. Hence, the start of a wonderful adventure began. Meet Andrea.
