Getting to Know Brandon...

1) Why did you start practicing yoga?

Originally as a gym credit my first semester of college in 93. It was more
off than on until 08, then it became a steady practice.

2) How would you describe your teaching style?

Rhythmic, fun and meditative. At least that's what I would like people to take from it.

3) Who or what is your inspiration?

Many things inspire me and it always changes. I try to find something everyday. Music, science, people, family...

4) Tell us something that we would never guess about you?

Well, I'm not sure what your expectations of me would be. I love baseball, wish I kept playing guitar and I always wanted to be an astronaut.

5) What is your least favorite asana to practice?

Is this a trick question to see if I'm practicing non-attachment? My least favorite would have to be Matsyasana, aka, Fish Pose.

Only recently has a teacher worked with me on this where I feel I understand what my body needs in the pose so I can benefit from it.

I think I prefer a restorative fish so I can relax into the heart opener. After practicing for a few days I realize I really do like the pose. Thanks.

6) Name 1 thing on your bucket list.

To travel into outer space.
