ABOUT

My name is Brittany Woodard.  I am a Certified Yoga Instructor and an Ayurveda Wellness Counselor. I strive to inspire, educate and mentor yogis so that they can feel confident in their yoga practice and find balance in their life.

​

 

My yogic education began at University as an Anthropology student, where I grew curious about mind/body connections and spirituality. Since then, my travels have been directed by yoga, studying, training and working in Bali, Cambodia, Thailand, Australia, India and Europe. I earned my first 200-hour certification through Yoga Alliance at Vikasa in

Koh Samui, Thailand and my 500-hour certification under the esteemed Bharath Shetty in Mysore, India at Yoga India. I have explored Hatha, Kundalini, Tantra, Satyananda and Ashtanga and found a physical practice that heals the physical and pranic bodies, mind and spirit.

 

My intention is to teach yoga in it's purest form, both within the physical practice and beyond. I believe that you don't need to enroll in a yoga teacher training to learn deepen your yoga practice; you just need the right teacher.

​

Originally from California, I have lived and traveled throughout Europe, Australia, Southeast Asia and India. I believe that home isn’t a place but instead a state of mind, and we are all citizens of the world.
