Brittany Russell

Welcome! I began my journey as a yoga instructor in public and charter schools, working with students ages 5-18. I received my 200hr yoga training from All Yoga Thailand and have returned to Thailand annually to study Yin Yoga and 5 Element Theory with 5 Element Wisdom Academy. I obtained my 300hr training with Samadhi Yoga in Denver, CO, and I have gained certifications in Prenatal Yoga, Kid's Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Yoga Nidra, Trauma Informed Yoga, Sound Healing and Ganja Yoga. In addition to my yoga certifications, I have earned my Bachelor of Arts in Dance at San Francisco State University, and a teaching credential in Physical Education. My background in dance is what led me to the physical practice of yoga. A handful of life experiences later, love and trust continue to guide me through the depths of this expansive practice. My goals as a Yoga teacher are: To create an encouraging class environment. To cultivate community through a personal touch, humor and joy. To broaden my student's curiosity of Yoga beyond the physical benefits. To increase relaxation through a peaceful class experience. To help students feel strong and comfortable in their own skin and have a sense of belonging on their mat. To help my students connect their mind, body and spirit through movement and breath. I currently offer continuing education courses in Yin Yoga and 5 Element Theory, annual Yoga retreats in Koh Phangan, Thailand, and lead 200hr trainings with Rooted Heart Yoga in Denver, CO. Thank you for checking out my profile and I hope to see you in class soon!
