Andy Leblanc

Andy was born in Quebec, Canada. Her curious and eager-to-learn mind led her to take kinesiology classes in university back in Canada and complete a Bachelor’s degree in fashion marketing. She emigrated in the San Francisco Bay Area in 2015, where she began her journey through yoga and wellness. She is a certified yoga and pilates instructor with more than 10 years of teaching experience with a vast array of populations including athletes, senior citizens, pregnant women, people who underwent knees and hips replacements, students-athletes and children. Andy is a diverse sports enthusiast who enjoys running long distances, hiking, biking, lifting weight as well as doing yoga, practicing martial arts and surfing. Her broad experiences make her a creative and adaptable coach within the athletic fitness department.

Andy believes that movement and physical activity are for everyone, no matter their background or challenges, so she makes it her priority to offer an open-minded, non judgmental safe space for all to enjoy their Riekes Center’s experience.
