Brigit Garrett has had a passionate fascination with health, healing and well-being since the 80′s. Her interest in human bio-mechanics, anatomy, dance, and fitness led her to start teaching fitness at the age of 18.
After many injuries, Brigit discovered the healing powers of massage therapy and rehabilitation through movement and stretching. In 1989 she became licensed as a registered massage therapist.
Brigit believes that using our innate wisdom helps us to connect to the balance of body, mind and spirit health. Yoga and massage is one way to gain prolonged health and vitality.
For the past 5 years, Brigit has been dedicated to the study and path of yoga. Yoga has allowed her to heal her own injuries and adrenal burnout from many years ago. It also keeps her energized so she can continue her busy, physically-demanding massage therapy practice five days a week.
Parallel to the physical benefits of yoga are those less tangible: inner strength and vitality, courage, balance, mind clarity and a deep sense of connecting with the world around you. Through practicing yoga, Brigit feels she is able to keep a calmer and more focused mind on the tasks at hand. The balanced state of consciousness she has gained through her yoga practice allows the relationship between her body, mind, nature, and happiness to flourish.
The style of yoga Brigit teaches is influenced by her earlier years practicing Iyvenger and Hatha Yoga, and more recently Anusara Yoga with Desiree Rumbaugh and Martin Kirk. She completed her 200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher training at White Lotus Foundation in Santa Barbara, California, which follows a non-dogmatic approach. She has the utmost respect and gratitude for her teachers Ganga White and Tracey Rich. Check out Ganga White’s book “Yoga Beyond Belief“.
Brigit is excited to share this knowledge with her students.
Brigit lives at Ruby Lake Resort with her other passion, partner Aldo and three lovely sons.
It is with warmth and gratitude to this community that Brigit welcomes you to IN TOUCH THERAPEUTICS YOGA STUDIO.
Breathe. Relax. Feel great!
