After being injured and bed-ridden for a month in 2002, Brian began practicing yoga as a form of physical therapy and rehabilitation. His practice continued beyond the physical recovery stage and now permeates all aspects of his life. For seven years he developed his personal practice, then Brian went on to complete a 250 hour Teacher Training at South Asheville Yoga.
Brian's yoga practice reflects his approach to life; Whether he is renovating a house, designing a website, or honing his mental focus and physical strength through a challenging yoga practice, he is happiest when involved in activities that require a combination of creative and physical energies. Life flows and is more satisfying when challenges on and off the mat are met with a natural curiosity, enthusiasm and humor.
Brian practices and teaches Vinyasa style yoga. He blends strength-building poses and longer held deep stretches in a dynamic flow. Some experience in yoga is helpful, but not required for Brian's class. Students should be comfortable moving and challenging themselves.
Brian has been living in Asheville, North Carolina since 2006. This is the last stop in a series of moves that has taken him around the country; from New York to California and from Wyoming to South Carolina (as well as Colorado and Connecticut). Some places he enjoyed more than others, but they all had value as a new and exciting experience. But now, he thinks that he will stay in Asheville for a while.
Brian has recently become fond of the semi-colon and uses it with some frequency. He is not 100% positive of correct usage; they are sometimes thrown about with reckless abandon.
