Andrea Levy

Co-Founder & Yoga Guru
Andrea began her fitness journey in college, dabbling in weightlifting and aerobics. She later injured her neck doing kickboxing in grad school, and doctors suggested surgery. However, her life changed when she found yoga in her mid-20s. Initially a part-time passion, teaching yoga eventually turned into her career. Even after exploring other fitness methods like TRX, Spinning, and Pilates, yoga remained her core focus. As an RYT 500 hr instructor, Andrea is deeply committed to guiding people toward wellness. Specializing in Vinyasa Yoga and mindfulness, she brings a holistic touch to her classes, targeting physical strength, mental clarity, and emotional balance. Her dynamic sequences, personalized coaching, and nurturing style create an environment for growth and self-compassion. Students leave her class not just physically refreshed, but emotionally and spiritually balanced. Andrea believes that yoga offers a path to introspective empowerment and healing for all who practice. When Andrea isn't retreating you can find her here:

Testimonials

Stories from Our Happy Retreaters

"I had the pleasure of spending last week with 20 amazing women at Jakes Treasure Beach in Jamaica. Thank you Kimberly and Andrea with AIR Wellness Retreats for bringing together the most beautiful souls of women for magical experiences 💕"

Jennifer R

"Kimberly Palisin and Andrea Rieback Levy have created sometime truly special with AIR Wellness Retreats. Next year they have at least four offerings available. You will never regret the time you spend working on yourself, and it’s time to change the stigma that we are not worth it or we’re too busy. You deserve it, your families deserve it, your community deserves it! “There is no growth in the comfort zone."

Jocko Willin

"My trip to Jamaica exceeded all my expectations. From the beaches to the workouts to the excursions, EVERYTHING was planned out perfectly by Andrea and Kim at AIR Wellness Retreats. I was nervous about going on a trip out of the country with a majority of people I didn’t know, but they all soon became my friends. I was blown away by the kindness and camaraderie shown by all the women, and the safe space Andrea and Kim created for us to all just be ourselves. We had the absolute best time and I cannot wait until next year!"

Leigh Ann S

"It was a fun group of ladies (15-70 years of age) to have these new experiences with. We cheered each other on and all had a blast. Beaches, bikes, cocktails, hikes, paddle boarding, surfing, waterfalls, shopping, reading, lounging at the pool etc…. Kim and Andrea organized an event packed retreat that could be as busy as you wanted or as relaxing as you needed. Feeding the monkeys that showed up our last two mornings was the icing on the cake to a truly amazing adventure. Memories and new friends for a lifetime!"

Lila W

"Two trips, two countries, new friendships, and a lifetime of memories. Traveling with AIR Wellness Retreats was an AMAZING experience and I would tell anyone to GO and Experience Infinite Growth ! Namaste 🙏🏻 "
