Testimonials
“I had an astounding time on the retreat! I felt completely comfortable being surrounded by such a warm, open-minded and encouraging group. Brooke is incredibly down-to-earth and served a remarkable balance between adding light in the form of silliness and laughter and an impressive sharing of knowledge of not only yoga and meditation but of herbalism. I left holding new knowledge in vast ways and would honestly not change a thing about Brooke’s style of teaching and the balance of education and exploration as we experienced.”

“Brooke’s classes come from the heart and really resonate with me. I met Brooke in 2012 while on retreat in NC. I have severe Asthma and was having a rough year. I went to her workshop “Essence of Immunity” and was amazed by her knowledge of Herbs and Yoga. Her class was different than any I had ever taken and I walked away with a newfound sense of calm and strength. I practiced the Ojas building sequence she taught daily for two months and took the Vital Body tincture as well. I have not had an Asthma flair in the 7 months since, and have made it through two of my worst times of the year. She has also influenced my teaching style greatly. Brooke is an amazing teacher!”

“The course was beyond what I expected. I signed up trying to bring more knowledge and structure to my own practice and in the end, realized I didn’t need all that! And yet through the course, I have grown up as a person and fed my soul with the incredible vibe, mantras, and beautiful teachings. I learned more about yoga than I could have imagined and I am truly grateful. Brooke’s way of teaching is deep and beautiful, thank you.”
