Brandy has acquired many certifications along the way, teaching formats from spin, and pilates to Les Mills® Body Pump. She has managed group fitness programs in large facilities and ran a successful personal training company for years.
It wasn't until Brandy was introduced to a meditative yoga practice by a dear friend that she realized something was missing from the yoga classes she had been teaching in the gym settings. Having suffered severe trauma, declining health and depression, she immersed herself into a dedicated yoga practice rooted in traditional discipline. During this quiet period the seed for Solshine was planted and began to grow. The connection she experienced with her mind, body and breath through her yoga practice was life changing. Brandy wanted to create a place that offered the connection, presence and acceptance that she found in yoga class but not at the expense of fitness, and nutrition. Brandy has incorporated yoga philosophy into all aspects of her programs and Solshine.
She still practices yoga every day and loves Baptiste and Jivamukti. She is inspired by the many teachers she has met along the way. "I strive to continually learn, grow and expand and will continue to offer programming that honors our core values here at the studio."
Brandy welcomes all people of all levels to her classes and to Solshine!
