THE TURN OF THE TIDES

Once upon a time in another pencil-skirted life, Brooke was a Lawyer, busy billing her time in 7 minute increments. It was through this little billing system that she discovered her love of tiny details and microcosmic absorption. She loved seeing how focused she could be in one small cluster of minutes, to make her minutes more valuable. In time, this system taught her a much bigger life lesson—that Presence is what truly makes life rich.

After 4.5 years practicing Law, stress began to take her breath. Brooke started suffering from debilitating symptoms—swelling in the throat, numbness in arms and legs, legs giving way, full-body rashes! After months of uncertainty, it came to light that these symptoms were a result of lack of circulation from shallow, rapid breathing/ hyperventilation. This was one of life’s big wake up’s, where she realised the huge disconnect between mind + body, and so began the journey of learning how to breathe.

A few years later Brooke left Law to pursue a life in yoga. It is this trust in life, following the inner urges and deep seated desires, that she aims to instil in others. She invites, that when we really lean in and say ‘Yes’ to the mysterious unfolding life without resistance, we are always carving tracks that are fresh, powdery and brand new.

Brooke has a dedicated practice and has studied extensively with renowned teachers and Eastern yoga schools. She is grateful to have years of study under incredible teachers and mentors including Noelle Connolly, Meghan Currie, Maty Ezraty and Gwyn Williams.

Her style is unique to her own love of pressing at the core of where we hold ourselves back the most. Brooke’s classes are very intentional—she cues with specificity to hold discomfort in psychic utero for long enough that eventually our growing edges stretch, and the glimpses of Grace can shine through. Her classes are designed to be revisited over and over to allow the actions and movements to land deeper each time, penetrating far beyond the physical form.
