My name is Brenda Smoody. My background is in Physical Therapy, I work as a Physical Therapist Assistant in a Outpatient Orthopaedic setting. I also instruct Yoga, Pilates, and Cycle classes at the Wisconsin Athletic Club.  I am a Reiki Master/Teacher as well. I have a passion with working with the Tactical Population and have my certification from the NSCA, TSAC-Tactical Strength and Conditioning Facilitator.

All of these paths are my hearts desire. I feel I deliver passion in each of these practices and my hope is to inspire others to live the life they love.

I love seeing how my own self Yoga practice evolves as I instruct and also seeing how I evolve as a instructor. I feel blessed to be able to share Yoga with others and am always inspired by my students in so many different ways. The beauty of it all is that no practice is the same and we are always evolving and changing! 

I obtained my 200 RYT Certification at Rishikesh Yog Peeth, Rishikesh, India in July of 2015.

I currently instruct Hatha  Yoga at Wisconsin Athletic Club-West Allis. With my background being in Physical Therapy, I feel my instruction is more alignment based related to the asanas. I strive to have a balance of pranayama, asanas, and dhyana. I believe having a balance of all three is essential for the Yoga Practice. 

I enjoy instructing in all different settings and feel that it is important to be versatile.
