Infuse Philosophy
Yoga is for everybody, everywhere, at all times.
It is a lifestyle, a way of viewing the world.
It is a tool for cultivating greater peace of mind and ease of well being.
It is practice, not perfection.
It is energy, not stagnation.
It is both strength and flexibility.
It is both feminine and masculine.
It is for the old, the young, and everyone in between.
It is simple, uncomplicated and delicious.
We invite you to explore this vision with us at Infuse Yoga Spa.

Tea & Water
Infuse serves premium teas with all of our services and at our spa tea parties. We believe drinking tea is one of life’s greatest pleasures.
Our selection of teas is constantly changing (the perfect opportunity to practice the yogic principal of “non-attachment”), but if you miss your favorite varietals or blend, let us know and we’ll see if we can get it in stock for you.
Our teas are infused with mineral-rich, anti-oxidant alkaline water. Studies show alkaline water to have many health benefits including the slowing of the “aging” process, healthy weight loss, heightened immunity against disease, and increased absorption of important vitamins and minerals. Plus it enhances the delicate flavors of our Infuse teas!

Staff
Andrea Klunder
Owner, Yoga Teacher, Thai Bodywork Therapist
A student of yoga since 1997, Andrea became inspired to teach when she stumbled upon a class with instructor Brett Coleman, who began each week with a philosophical discussion of Patanjali’s yoga sutras. No longer simply a form of exercise and relaxation, yoga began to creep into all areas of everyday life outside the studio, offering a refreshing point of view.
Certified through Moksha Yoga's teacher training program, Andrea has studied with master teachers from various traditions. She is especially grateful to Kim Wilcox,
Tias Little,
Elesa Commerse, and
Aadil Palkhivala for their humble wisdom and insightful teachings. Andrea's classes integrate fluid asana, therapeutic alignment, pranayama, chanting, and meditation.
Andrea’s passion for Thai Bodywork stems from its dance-like fusion of yoga and bodywork techniques. She continues to study with Chuck Duff, who has designed a method which integrates the ancient Thai techniques with clinical trigger point and myofascial pain theory, and is constantly amazed by the incredible healing potential of this art.
Theatre, music, film, creative writing, dance and travel are major influences in Andrea's life and work. She has visited El Salvador twice and takes up an annual collection for the elementary school in the tiny community of El Rodeo, where she also taught her first yoga class ever to a group of young women in 2004.
Christy Lyons
Yoga Teacher
Originally from Chicago, Christy's yoga journey began in 2005 when her stressful career as an investment banker in London became too much. Upon moving to Hong Kong for 2 years, yoga became not just her sanctuary but her whole life after her first teacher training in Hatha Vinyasa was completed in July 2007.
Immediately upon completion, Christy began her Yoga teaching journey and has never looked back. This year, she spent a month in Thailand completing an Ashtanga-based Yoga certification in April 2008. Christy has also completed workshops under David Life, Aadhil Palkhivala, Shiva Rea, Seane Corn, David Swenson, Ellen Heed, Sharath Rangaswamy, and many more.
An avid athlete, Christy is especially sensitive to those with high stress levels, injuries, and athletic life styles that cause muscular stiffness. Her classes will always be filled with positive energy and great music! Christy is a Yoga Alliance certified Yoga instructor and is also trained in meditation, stress management, and yoga therapy.
