Yoga Instructor
Brett took her first yoga class over ten years ago and was hooked. She loves the
intense, rigorous, and athletic exercise that Vinyasa Power Yoga can offer. Before discovering yoga, Brett was a
former volleyball player at the University of Notre Dame. After graduation, Brett was drawn to yoga as a way to work
out the entire body using one's own body strength. She found it to be gentler on the body after her many years of
competing in sports. Brett did her Teacher Training at Sculpt Fusion Yoga and loves Vinyasa Flow for its focus on
building strength, endurance, and stamina. Brett has her Master's Degree in Education from Northwestern University
and currently teaches online college courses. When not teaching or playing with her two young kids, Brett loves to
make inspiring and fun playlists for her classes. Her music style varies - everything can be played. Artists such as
Phoenix, Death Cab for Cutie, Dave Matthews, and Black Eyed Peas, to name a few, are some of the artists you may hear in her classes.
