Hi! I’m Brenda
I have been working in the yoga space for over 10 years. I specialize in supporting women who are looking to cultivate more balance in their lives.
How did I get here?
As a busy mom of two with a Type A personality and a dedicated educator for over 30 years I ran myself into the ground serving others and struggling with perfectionism. In my late 40’s I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that forced me re-evaluate how I showed up in the world. For the past 10 years I have unpacked my perfectionism, and edited my life to include more rest and ease. With the help of my teacher Judith Hanson Lasater I continue to learn how to rest so my body can heal and I can enjoy life to its fullest.
Today I support women in learning how to move and rest in a way that sustainably supports their overall longevity using the powerful tools of Mindful and Restorative Yoga.
