Brian Ruhmann
Brian has over 30 years of fitness, yoga programming, and therapeutic bodywork experience.
His approach to asana instruction blends the biomechanics and kinesiology of his academic training, the anatomy and physiology of his massage therapy, and the physical and energetic intent of asana practice as a gateway to physical and emotional healing and spiritual development. He believes that through the physical practice of asana, the physical restrictions and holding patterns can be released with the constant release of energetic blockages, limiting mental and emotional constructs. By releasing these holding patterns and healing, one can reclaim authenticity or divinity and fearlessly live that authenticity.
