It is hard to feel optimistic in these uncertain times around the world.  We walk around with a sense of dread and heaviness that we have grown to accept as normal.  With this heaviness, we begin to lose the ability to not only help others but to help ourselves.  In this class, we will learn how to take care of ourselves by working directly with the heart.  We will do a unique practice including asana, pranayama, and meditation that will empower and re-energize our passions.

At the end of this special class,  we will rediscover our strength to create change in ourselves and the world around us through lighter hearts and a more expansive outlook on life.

Brenna Geehan is originally from New York. She came to Chicago and began her life's work including painting,  photography, set design for still photography, studying nutrition and  herbalism, and practicing and teaching yoga.

She believes that each of us has the right and capacity to realize a life brimming with joy, meaning and purpose.  In Brenna's classes, she offers an asana practice that honors a number of styles including vinyasa flow, tantra, and a soft and fluid approach that encourages  an "inner listening". She wants to help transform students' bodies to be stronger and more flexible and also aid in removing mental and emotional obstructions so they may have a more balanced and healthy energy flow.  Brenna also includes meditation practices that encourages her students to find clarity of mind and peaceful dispositions. She wants to help people find the joyous freedom that she has found through the practice of yoga.
