Birth of a Journey....

I completed my 200 hour yoga teacher training at Barefoot Works Yoga Studio this year, at the end of June! I did my externship at the High Street YMCA, completing 50 hrs + of teaching beginner's classes with a focus on structure, posture and alignment. I am very excited to be set upon my new path! I have opened my office at 2121 Richmond Road, Lexington, KY. Located in Idle Hour Plaza, just inside New Circle Road. I am in suite 224 and am available by appointment.

At Brian Reeder, RYT, LLC., I am teaching beginner's classes focused on learning the basis of the poses, patience in order to learn how one works with the poses, and the fundamentals of both how the pose is performed and what the pose is intended to do for the body.

I am also training athletes in a high intensity form of yoga aimed at gaining flexibility, balance, strength and metabolic optimization. This form of teaching begins much like my beginner's training with a few weeks of introduction to the basic poses to learn their fundamentals, then learning to flow between poses in a vinyasa form by linking breath and movement, then finally, how to put that together to form a flowing, intense practice that can be used to acheive the goal results of flexibility, balance, strength and metabolic optimization.

I have always had a strong interest in and understanding of anatomy and scientific techniques, as well as an interest in the physical sciences. Combining this background with the lessons in anatomy, technique and contraindications I have gained from my 200 hour teacher training, I am working with various techniques of yoga for helping you to learn to "heal yourself" through movement, breath and relaxation. Therapeutic yoga seeks to strengthen the areas which support an injury while, in turn, not re-injuring that area. Therapeutic techniques are also valuable for dealing with stress, anxiety, pain-management and promoting postural balance which encourages homeostasis. Yoga Therapy offers a wide range of techniques which can bring comfort and improvement to a large number of physical issues.

I am also very pleased to announce the launch of my new website. At http://www.brianreederryt.com/ you will find information on my practice, links, contact information and information on the forms of Yoga I work with and teach.

Namaste!
