About Founder

Originally from Denver, Colorado, Drea moved to Maine to study at Bowdoin College in 1993. After receiving a double major in International Relations and Spanish in 1997 she returned to Colorado and pursued an 8 year career in program development for several non-profit organizations like, The Denver Film Society and The Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce. During this time Drea began seriously practicing yoga, having started by herself back in High School out of an Iyengar book.
In 2004 she started OmPass® (OP) and quit her full time job to travel, promote OP and teach yoga. She created OmPass with the intention of making yoga affordable and accessible for all. As seen on the Today Show, members of OP receive a pass to use for discounted yoga classes at affiliated studios when traveling and free class trial coupons to use at local studios. Today OmPass is a thriving yoga company with hundreds of yoga studio affiliates nationally and internationally.
Drea travels frequently, any chance to practice a different style of yoga or learn from another instructor. She currently studies under local Junior Iyengar instructor, Kevin Durkin, who has himself made many trips to India to study with the Iyengars, BKS and Geeta. She especially enjoys studying Kundalini with Gurmukh, Flow with Shiva, and Iyengar with Aadil Palkhivala. She has also studied with Seane Corne, Patricia Walden, Gurmukh, David & Sharon Life, Saul David Ray, Duncan Wong and many more..
Drea is also a certified Hanna Kroeger holistic health practitioner and Health Intuitive. Her broader vision is to help empower others into creating their own health and together creating a healthy planet. While traveling for OmPass she also presents Intuitive Yoga workshops for studios around the USA. She incorporates much of her Intuitive healing techniques into her yoga workshops in order to help people explore their boundaries of yoga, health and life... Drea currently resides in Morrison, Colorado near the beautiful outdoor Amphitheater, Red Rocks.
