Brian (E-RYT 200), cofounder of Interactive-Yoga with Lorrie Shepard, is a Certified AcroYoga® Teacher, certified for kids yoga (Ring One CircusYoga® & Lotus Yoga), prenatal yoga (Mia Borgatta's Ma Yoga), Thai Yoga (New England School of Thai Yoga Level 2 with Jennifer Yarro; Lotus Palm Level 1), a graduate of the 300 hour Lotus Yoga Teacher Training program and has been practicing yoga since 2001, teaching since 2006.

Brian's love of yoga started one evening when, taking an after dinner stroll, he came across a yoga studio (RiversEdge in Boonton), went in, 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.

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.

Brian conducts a wide range of classes & workshops including yoga for children with autism, veterans, seniors, seniors with Alzheimer's, partner yoga, and thai yoga. His classes range from gentle restorative to strong vinyasa. No matter the level or pace, having fun and keeping a meditative mind are key.

Om Shantih
