Ananda Yoga For

Higher Awareness�

Brenda Gustin is a certified Ananda Yoga Instructor and is registered with the Yoga Alliance. She has practiced yoga for the past fifteen years, initiating her practice to heal a disorder that blocked passage of oxygen to her brain. Through yoga and other forms of therapy, Brenda was able to completely heal. In 1999 she began teaching, deepening her journey into the art and science of yoga.

Ananda Yoga for Higher Awareness^TM is a powerful spiritual practice, not merely an exercise regime. This gentle and highly effective approach is suitable for all ages and all body types.

Brenda's goal in teaching Ananda Yoga is to guide students as they explore the variety of Hatha Yoga techniques to deepen their connection with body, mind and soul.

Body ~ Asanas (postures) and pranayama (breath control) promote circulation, reduce inflammation and produce strong muscles and a supple spine. Balance and flexibility are restored as you stretch and re-align your body.

Mudras ~ enhance the spiritual connection from the body to your mind.

Mind ~ Mantras balance the mind to help you clarify, observe and redirect your thoughts toward the higher aspirations of your heart and soul.

Soul   ~ Meditation raises the vibrational frequencies within the body,                            enlightening inspiration from your Soul.

Learning these techniques will enable you to:

• Relax and release tension

• Strengthen muscles and heal ailments 

• Tap in to subtle energies & functions of your body

• Clarify your thoughts

• Listen and understand how your body speaks to you.

• Feel your energy and how it moves throughout your body

• Achieve Vitality and Clarity each time you practice Yoga

• Focus your attention to manage the complexities of life        

• Increase your personal power and flexibility, mentally and physically

In 2006 Brenda obtained her Ph.D. in Hermetic Science and Esoteric Philosophy from the Ritberger Institute. During her doctorate studies she obtained certifications in the healing arts and became a Certified Massage Therapist and Reiki Master. These studies blend the art and science of yoga with the hermetic science of Egypt and the western views of health and wellness.
