Today, Andrea L. Wehlann is a two time bestselling author and poet. She’s a highly regarded expert in yoga — .a Certified Hatha Yoga Teacher. She is a social worker with a BA in Psychology from Brock University and a Social Services Diploma from Niagara College. She’s also the founder of Ganga Moon Yoga Studio in Beamsville, Ontario.

As accomplished as Wehlann is, she makes clear that she has faced and triumphed over — many struggles, too. Her source of dedication to spiritual healing derives from surviving childhood mental, physical and emotional abuse, as well as surviving rape and sexual
assault.

The hugely traumatic things she lived through as a child and young person led to her experiences with bulimia, depression, and suicidal tendencies. The fact that she found positive ways to make it through all of that combined with her professional knowledge makes her not only a true inspiration — but a passionate teacher and unique leader in the wellness space.

She shares her unique insights derived from both the personal and the professional in her three impactful books :

-Deeper Days: 365 Yoga-spirations for Inner Calm Amidst Chaos (“a lovingly crafted book to get you moving through the world with love, to help you take a moment to breathe, and find stillness in daily reflection. It guides you along your yogic path to realizing your divine potential.”) Winner of the Body, Mind and Spirit Category of the Pinnacle Book Achievement Awards. Winner of the Firebird Book Award in the Inspiration Category and Winner in the Mind, Body Spirit Category.

-No Matter How Dark The Stain: Poems and Inspiration for the Woman in Pain (“Essentially a collection of love poems for anxious people, it meets people in their darkest space and gives a breath of life to the pain and feelings that haunt us and keep bad patterns recurring.”)

And….

The most recent is Stillness In The Storm, subtitled “A Conscious Daily Journal of Yoga & Spiritual Healing,” a book Andrea created to help readers do just that: “to let mind and spirit intersect and to celebrate the power of hearing the heart in the here and now.”

“Stillness in the Storm empowers you to become the best version of yourself,” she says. And it’s easy to see how. This empowering journal celebrates the harmonious blend of mind, body, and spirit, guiding you to that serene intersection.

“Within its pages, you will find more than just blank spaces to fill,” Andrea explains. Stillness in the Storm provides gentle prompts that inspire the creation of sacred space in your heart. It encourages love, kindness, and compassion to flow freely within you.”
She says she hopes her readers will learn to “Immerse themselves in the wisdom of Hatha yoga through step-by-step sequences to guide their physical practice and also help integrate the eight limbs of yoga into daily life.”

Andrea encourages readers to perform these sequences “whenever the moment calls, whether as a standalone practice or as part of your reflective routine,” and with her inspirational words, walks beside them if they choose to embrace the yogic lifestyle and embark on a profound exploration of self-discovery.

In these difficult times, we all need this book.
