Brian
Brian's love of yoga started one evening in September of 2001, when, taking an after dinner stroll, he came across a yoga studio, got a schedule, went to a class that week, and has been practicing yoga ever since. Among the many wonderful teachers he has studied with are the usual and some not-so-usual suspects.
Brian is a graduate of the Lotus Yoga Teacher Training program and has been teaching since January of 2007. He is registered with the Yoga Alliance at the 200 hour level. In addition, he is certified for kids yoga (through Lotus Yoga) and prenatal yoga (through Mia Borgatta's Ma Yoga Program).
He feels blessed to have studied with wonderful teachers from various traditions, including Iyengar, Kripalu, Ashtanga and Anusara, but has since discovered that the best teachers are his students. Yogic studies continues to be a major source of inspiration for life. He thanks all of his teachers, past, present, and future, who bless him with their teachings and guidance.
His classes range from gentle restorative to strong vinyasa. No matter the level or pace, having fun and keeping a meditative mind are key. He can be found teaching at studios across Northern New Jersey, VA hospitals, shelters, rehabilitation facilities, and a certain orphanage in Guayaquil, Ecuador.
In those few moments when he is not in a yoga studio, Brian enjoys traveling, playing guitar, surfing and flying through the air with the greatest of ease.
