ABOUT YOUR HOST
Brooks Witherspoon, 500 RYT, Reiki II, Authentic Relating Certified, Chef
“In addition to my own practice, I offer various group classes in the Denver Metro Area. I typically guide my students through Viniyoga Sequences, which is yoga for the individual. I combine multiple techniques into a harmonic flow with a special twist; along with Baptiste Style Power Yoga. No two practices are ever the same!”
---
My Yogic Lineage comes from T. Krishnamacharya, the essential yogic grandfather of modern yoga. He believed that yoga should be adapted to the individual, not the individual to yoga.
He used this principle in teaching the leading yogis of the 20th Century who brought the practice to the West. One of these students, Pattabhi Jois, prescribed Ashtanga Vinyassa Yoga. This is a fast paced flowing series of sequenced asanas, linked with breath and sun salutations. His other student BKS Iyenger, used his training to cultivate Iyenger yoga to cure his own disease, through asana and pranayama. His methods pay special attention to skeletal and muscular alignment, in which poses are held for much longer, allowing for adjustments; along with the use of props for injuries and restorative practice. As Krishnamacharya aged, he taught his son, TKV Disikachar, Viniyoga, or yoga for the individual, focusing on the traditional teachings, the 8 limbs, and the incorporation of ritual, chanting, and more; as it best resonates to the practitioner.
I was taught all of these methods, along with additional teachings of Baron Baptiste, who studied directly under Disikachar and Iyengar, at a very young age. Along with the initial 400 hours of training, I received 300 hours of advanced ashtanga & vinyasa flow level two, while studying overseas.
Baptiste incorporates the traditional teachings of Ashtanga Vinyassa, Viniyoga, Meditation and Self Inquiry. Through a fast paced, potent, and structured signature series of movements that adhere to one blue print; Journey Into Power. Power Yoga is the ultimate wake up call. This practice has the power to change your life.
“Sometimes people ask me why my power yoga classes are so challenging. I’ve learned that intense physical challenge allows students to see in the moment how much more effective relaxing is than struggling. It’s about bypassing your resistance. When you are at your most tired, you don’t have the energy to resist. You relax, you stop forcing, essentially because there is no other choice, and then suddenly you discover that the source of grace was there waiting for you all along.” - Baron Baptiste
My teacher, Alexandria Jayne Pulpher, studied directly under Baron Baptiste and Annie Carpenter; before founding Yoga Deza Institute in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
I completed my 200 hour Solar Vinyasa YTT and 200 hour Baptiste Power YTT from Yoga Deza Institute. My 300 hour YTT was recieved at Bali Yoga Ashram. I am accredited E-RYT & 500 hour YTT by Yoga Alliance. I incorporate intention setting, energy healing, guided meditation, aromatherapy, intuitive oracle readings, and much more into yoga practice. In daily life I try to adhere to all aspects of the 8 Limbs of Yoga. I continue to learn more, advance, falter, and keep trying. This practice has been here all along. Once I found it, my body, mind and soul became aligned, activating an effortless flow through the river of life. It is my duty to share this gift of love with as many beings I can.
"The rhythm of the body, the melody of the mind, and the harmony of the soul creates the symphony of life."
-BKS Iyengar
“Music is a powerful component in my practice, I choose specific songs to flow with the body as to take a break from the mind.”
“I am an artist at heart, who knows the journey of yoga has showered my life with harmonious magic. This practice has catalyzed health, abundance, growth, stability and creativity; among purpose and truth on my spiritual journey. It has been a profound transformative blessing to find my niche in the Yoga Community. As a student and teacher of this sacred art, I have found strengths in myself and others that I wasn't even aware of. Seeing capability and magnificent results within the body, conjunct spirit and mind; is what inspires me to continue growth and assist others in their journey of self discovery.
