Inside Out  

Maisha Hazzard is the youngest child of a scientist turned metaphysician in the disguise of a United Methodist minister. Science and Spirituality were integrated aspects of life first discussed in ordinary conversations about all matter as energy or light and all light as the very essence of God. E=MC2 was understood to mean that “that which is visible was made from that which is invisible”. Our true Nature as Light made visible in flesh was a common household understanding. While still in high school, Maisha was introduced to the mystical writings of Meister Eckhart, Martin Luther, Kierkegaard, Martin Buber, and others as she was simultaneously spending Saturdays in advanced classes like organic chemistry. When she was still a teenager, she was taken on a mystical journey during which she was shown that the Universe is the “body of God”, and everything is like a cell in the body of God.

She abandoned the allopathic

Though she enjoys many styles of yoga, it is the sweaty rigors of vinyasa that she finds herself most drawn to. Andrea proudly opened U Studio in April, 2006. It is the commUnity of those who helped build it that inspired the name. A community that is all inclusive and ever expanding-- where people of all ages, sizes and orientations move and breath together on the 5th floor of an extraordinary art deco building enjoying views of the Hollywood sign and the downtown skyline. Her class is a rigorous but intelligent flow, with an emphasis on alignment. A physically challenging class with room for playful laughter. In addition to teaching yoga, she is an accomplished songwriter and winner of ASCAP's prestigious Sammy Cahn National Songwriting Award. Her own lineof unisex yoga pants, "Shmandy Pants," are available for sale at the U Studio store as are her audio yoga classes--perfect for when "U" can't get to class.

Our mission is to help eliminate the dislocated feeling in the people of this planet, beginning in Salvador, Bahia. Our belief is that every person has an equal right to abundance, shelter, food and life (not mere existence). As Lenine so poignantly sings, “Todo mundo tem direito à vida, e todo mundo tem direito igual.”* PHDB is about Brasilians helping Brasilians obtain the equal rights they deserve.
