Brynne has been a rigorous practitioner of Ashtanga and Vinyasa yoga for
over 7 years. After graduating with a degree in International Studies and
Cultural Anthropology from Michigan State University, Brynne moved to
Washington DC to work in the International Development Field. It was in
Washington DC that she submerged herself in yoga, and embraced a rigorous
practice as a release from the fast paced Washingtonian life style.
As her personal practice developed, over the years she became increasingly
inspired to share the infinite benefits that yoga brings to one's mind, body
and spirit. In love with the discipline, she moved back to Hawaii and took
an intensive 200-hour training with Yoga Hawaii, and shortly after began
teaching. Brynne continues to study Vinyasa with various Vinyasa teachers
and in early 2008 completed her 8-month pregnancy apprenticeship with Cathy
Louise Broda of Purple Yoga followed by a 6-month Mom and Baby
apprenticeship in May 2009.
Brynne has embarked upon the journey of becoming a professional yoga
instructor as well as a pioneer in the field of yoga education for youth.
She received her Master's Degree in 2007, from the Department of Education
at the University of Hawaii. Inspired to teach yoga to children, Brynne
studied intensively with Yoga Ed. becoming both an instructor and trainer.
For her thesis, she successfully implemented Yoga Ed. into Jarrett Middle
School's after school program and studied how yoga affects children both
physically and emotionally.
Brynne was chosen to be an Ambassador for Lululemon Athletica, working with
Lulu to promote community yoga events in Hawaii. Brynne teaches kids and
adult yoga classes at Purple Yoga and Yoga Ed. classes at public and private
schools across Oahu. With her passion for the world and children Brynne has
lead the way taking Yoga Ed. to Asia and Europe and has taught trainings in
Japan, Philippines, and Ireland. With her passion for yoga and life, Brynne
aspires to help children, teens and adults around the world find inner peace
through yoga. |
