and practicing and teaching yoga.
Brenna teaches that each of us has the right and
capacity to realize a life brimming with joy, meaning and purpose.
In her classes, she offers an asana practice that honors a number
of styles including vinyasa flow, tantra, and a soft and fluid approach
that encourages an “inner listening”. She helps transform
students’ bodies to be stronger and more flexible and also
aids in removing mental and emotional obstructions so they may have
a more balanced and healthy energy flow. Her classes include meditation
practices that encourage students to find clarity of mind and peaceful
dispositions. Her mission is to help people find the joyous freedom
that she has found through the practice of yoga.
