Brian Charlton

Brian recently moved back to the North West after a decade of life in New York City where his yoga practice was given true meaning. Brian was first introduced to yoga in 2001 and after straying from his practice for a few years, he fell back in love thanks to Sonic Yoga in New York City, where he eventually received his teacher training. Brian teaches a style of yoga that is centered on focus, following the breath and control of movement. Communication is key on and off the mat. Precise verbal cues allow Brian's students to practice by ear, and not always by sight, giving his students the opportunity to find alignment from within and on their own, without the mental distraction of comparison. The emphasis throughout his classes is simple: yoga is not about what those around you are doing, or even what the teacher is teaching. It's about finding a practice, a variation of a posture or a state of mind that fits YOU. Yoga in Brian's classes is a private practice that just happens to be shared as a community.
