Brendon's Yoga Bio

I have been regularly teaching yoga for over 11 years. I sincerely believe that it is the best thing that humans have come up with and that it will play a crucial role in the future evolution of humanity.

I came to yoga somewhat awkwardly, grunting my way through group classes while struggling to connect with my inner self. However, after experiencing the profound physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual benefits of a regular yoga practice, I witnessed my own transformation. This inspired me to delve deeper into the practice and become an instructor.

Now, I view yoga as a vital tool for harnessing human potential, believing it to be the greatest ‘thing’ humanity has created. I received my 200+ hour certification in 2014 and have been teaching regularly ever since. My journey has taken me domestically and abroad to various classes, trainings, and workshops, including the Yoga Workshop in Boulder, Colorado, where I had the honor of learning from renowned teachers like Richard Freeman and Mary Taylor, as well as communities in Mysore and Bangalore, India.

In my classes, I strive to create a welcoming environment that encourages students to disengage from auto-pilot consciousness (samskara) and connect with a state of timeless awareness (dhyana) and selfless awareness (samadhi). I approach each session with authenticity, care, and focus, drawing inspiration from my ongoing yoga practice, the study of various Eastern spiritualities and philosophies, and my own life experiences.

Through the application of yoga’s eight limbs, I endeavor to help individuals discover and cultivate their own potential and connect with their true Selves and the divine energy that permeates the universe. My goal is to empower students to lead more awake, balanced, and healthy lives and learn to act as their own spiritual guides.

I teach online classes and in-person and online private sessions in addition to teaching group classes at a couple of studios in the KC Metro area. 1% of revenue from yoga memberships and passes with me are committed to carbon removal. Another 1% of revenue is donated to local charities and non-profits. If we haven't met yet, I hope to meet you in the present moment soon.
