Brenda was first introduced to yoga more than twenty years ago and became serious about her practice while searching for relief from chronic back pain. The yogic tools and methodology she learned literally changed her life.

With an abundance of positive energy, Brenda's dedication to educating students about the many benefits of yoga motivated the creation of the "Yoga Discovery Podcast". She is passionate about bringing new practitioners to the mat while cultivating a knowledgeable awareness that enhances the experienced student's evolving journey.

Teaching from an informed perspective, she believes that diving more deeply into the philosophies, traditions, and history of yoga has a transformational ability to shape our health and well-being in every respect.

When not on the mat or in the classroom (she is a college professor, MFA, BFA, and a Fulbright Scholar, South Africa), Brenda travels the world searching for adventures that will expand her understanding of our global community. Brenda is currently a graduate student in the MA Yogic Studies program at Naropa University. RYT (Himalayan Institute). E-RYT200 YAECP.

Gail began her yoga journey in 2010, taking her first class to balance out running and soccer. She practiced many styles but was particularly drawn to the challenge of Ashtanga. Gail soon realized there was so much more to learn and explore in yoga. She traveled to India to pursue in-depth study of Hatha, Ashtanga, meditation, pranayama and yogic philosophy, earning her 200 RYT and certification in Thai Yoga Stretch. The trip to India created a desire to continue to learn more about yoga and the body, which led to her pursuing and earning her 300 RYT and an additional 200 RYT in Rocket Yoga. She is particularly interested in functional mobility.

Join Gail and experience her adventurous spirit on the mat as you explore the union of breath and movement. She creates thoughtful flows for her classes that encourages you to dive into the full expression of your body's movement as you walk the line between effort and ease.
