Brandi L.

For almost ten years, I’ve been practicing yoga (Hatha, Vinyasa, and Power) independently, and studying body movement, such as, Rasaboxes (mind, body, breathing, and voice training) at NYU’s East Coast Artists Performance Studies workshop. As a devoted yogi and practicing Mahayana Buddhist, I’ve found working with yoga, in conjunction with meditation, has huge health benefits.

Along with my daily yoga routine, I do strength train, and play basketball.

In April of 2011, I had the pleasure of training with Lex Gillan in pursuit of my yoga teacher training and national certification. My goal is to use my passion for meditation, yoga, physical fitness by teaching what I’ve learned and gained from utilizing physical fitness to increase an individual’s overall well being. As with any physical practice, (as I do share with my students) the emotional journey is just as important to your overall sense of well being as the increase physical strength, flexibility, and endurance.

My goal is to use asanas (poses) and meditation to provide a healing overall mind and body experience. My intent is ensuring all students learn proper form, alignment in relationship to proper breathing with each pose and exercise. In addition, performing any physical activity requires discipline, focus, support, and overall mind and body awareness in achieving your personal goals.

With all my students, learning pranayama harnesses all the necessary energy needed to execute movements for much deeper practice. From the moment you step off the mat, I want all my students to feel that they can translate that overwhelming feeling of spiritual and physical vitality to other aspects of life. As with any practice, yoga is a journey that never ends, you’re constantly deepening, discovering who you are with each new day.

Typically, our first meeting will involve discussing your physical limitations and goals. After, we will prepare sessions designed for your practice level. This approach maximizes your ability to thoroughly understand your independent strengths, weaknesses, and challenges.
All one-on-one sessions begin with brief inward reflection: guiding you through meditation accompanied with basic breathing practice to even the mind and body.

After aligning the mind, body and breathe through the meditation. Then, I will take you through the day’s asanas (poses), which are tailored for you on bi-weekly basis. It’s important that all my students take the time and practice. Through practice each student discovers his or her physical limitations and strengths.
