FOUNDER & OWNER

Meet the Founder.

The vision behind Root to Rise, and the person who shows up for it every day.

FOUNDER & OWNER

Andi Oliveira

Andi Oliveira didn’t open Root to Rise to enter the yoga industry. She built the studio she wished existed, in the neighborhood she calls home.

A Lowry resident and entrepreneur, Andi spent over a decade growing the Lowry Kumon Center into the largest of its kind in Colorado, helping hundreds of children find confidence through learning. When that chapter closed, a new one began.

Root to Rise is that chapter.

Five years into her own consistent yoga practice, Andi comes to the mat as a student, not an instructor. The physical benefits brought her in: posture, strength, breath, the kind of flexibility that pays dividends for decades. But it’s the teachings that kept her. Yoga, she’ll tell you, is a practice for life, not just for the body.

She built Root to Rise as a boutique space on purpose. Woman-owned, independently operated, and deeply rooted in Lowry because Andi believes small businesses are the soul of a neighborhood. They add character. They create belonging. They become something a chain never can: a place between home and work where people come to breathe, move, and actually connect.
