Introduction

My name is Bri, I am a passionate yogi, who has a great drive for knowledge. I have been teaching for over 8 years now, and I have taken over 1000 hours of certified yoga teacher trainings. 200 hours didn't seem like enough training for me, especially as I learned about the anatomy and the bio-mechanics of yoga. I will always be eager to learn more as long as I am on the path of yoga. I am trained in Rasa yoga. Rasa yoga teaches you to intentionally breathe, connect to your heart and align your body all simultaneously. I teach multiple types of yoga. I focus mainly on vinyasa style in public classes, as well as yoga therapeutics, and restorative yoga. With my vast knowledge on the body, I tend to heavily focus on healthy, safe biomechanics, as well as clear alignment cues and explanation for why I am telling you specific cues. So often I am in a yoga class and I hear a teacher tell me a cue, and my immediate thought is, WHY? Yoga is more of a lifestyle to me, rather than just a physical practice. I find the physical practice helps me connect deeper to my own hearts desires. Since I started teaching, I actually began with private students, and this is where the magic happens. When I am teaching one on one, I love how I can directly ask my students questions, and visa versa. Students have my eyes totally on them, and when they are working with an injury, they are able to have special attention, and we can move and flow in an optimal way for their body. If students have a specific posture, or group of poses they want to work out, private sessions are a great way for you to understand small but impactful cues that will enhance your daily practice. I feel very passionate about helping others reach their goals. Whether it's strength, mobility, flexibility, or simply building your confidence, I can assure you that you will grow if you decide to step on the mat with me. Yoga is a transformative practice, change cannot be avoided on the path of yoga. *I will drive to you if you live in the greater Seattle or possibly Snohomish county area. Otherwise I offer zoom online private yoga, as well as group yoga. Yoga is slightly discounted via zoom since we cut out the travel time. Prices range from $120- $500 per private lesson depending on the size of the group and location. Prices vary for group classes. 24 hour cancellation policy If you want to book my services at your home, I have a standard $50 mileage fee to drive anywhere in the Seattle area.

My Standard Price for 1:1 Private yoga is $120 If you'd like me to come to your house or another location, the mileage fee is $50 Want a deal? Buy a 10 class pass, save $15 per session!

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

I typically ask you about: -Your previous yoga experience -Your goals with yoga, what do you want to work on? -Do you have an injury I should be aware of? -How often do you want to practice and how quickly would you like to progress?

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

I have taken 2, 200 hour teacher trainings and a 300 hour yoga teacher training. All my training is verified with yoga alliance. In 2022 I also started teaching teachers the art of teaching yoga in an assistant program with my teacher. All my training has been done with Greta Hill, she is a Seattle based teacher that has been teaching for 25+ years.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

I started working at local gyms, and with private clients, and then I slowly transitioned to working at local yoga studios. I prefer working 1:1 with students, because I love to help them understand the principles of yoga, and sometimes that is done best 1 on 1.

What types of customers have you worked with?

I have worked one on one with students ranging from 77 years old to 24 years old. I would say majority of my private yoga lessons are with people above 50 years old, with a huge interest in either physical fitness growth, Spiritual growth, or a bit of both.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

I recently created a course with some ladies, This course is called a journey through the chakras. I taught a meditation and an asana (posture) video for each chakra. It is truly an amazing course.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

I would tell them to make sure that they enjoy the energy of the person they are working with, and to make sure they understand what they are looking to get out of their private yoga lessons. To be clear about what you want, so that the person providing you instruction can make sure they are also the best person for the job, and if they aren't, maybe they will be able to provide you with someone else who is better fit for the job.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

I think the most important part is to know what your goal is before talking to a teacher. It doesn't have to be well explained, just to know what direction you are wanting to go. It could be as simple as just wanting to understand the foundations of yoga, or to become more flexible, to become more emotionally intelligent, ect. If you don't know, that is okay too, but also be transparent about not knowing!
