Certified Yoga Instructor, Pranassage™ Practitioner, Reiki 1 Practitioner, Toning Channel.
Certified Yoga Instructor (CYT) Brigit Moynihan was introduced to yoga in 1991 in a college course at SUNY Oneonta with Ashoke Malholtra PHD. During these first hatha yoga classes in savasana she had potent pranic experiences of energy filling her body. This began her life long studyand love of yoga. “ It was like yoga was just waiting there the whole time for me to touch this infinitely vast field it occupies. Our true self is right there behind the veil.
Brigit took her first yoga teacher training with Don and Amba Stapleton of Nosara Yoga at the Omega Institute in 2000. She has been teaching and continuing her education ever since. Brigit returned to Omega in 2005 for the Nosara Yoga Advanced Yoga Teacher Training. In 2013 she traveled to Nosara Yoga Institute’s original home in Nosara Costa Rica for Pranassage™ Teacher Training. Pranassage ™ is a set sequence of assisted yoga poses developed by Amba Stapleton, combining yoga, Thai massage and other modalities. This training was a deep dive into the chakras, the energy systems of the body, how prana (life force) circulates inside us and the energetics of asana. Expanding her love for energy medicine, In February of 2024 Brigit obtained her Reiki One certification from Jennifer Mulak of Cosmic Mother ™
Over her long career Brigit has witnessed the ability of this ancient science to adapt to, and benefit, everyone who is willing to explore it. She facilitates a practice that is both grounding and empowering. Through an artful progression of yoga asana, breath, sound and meditation.
Brigit creates a container in which each student can regulate, drop into the present, and experience their vital life force energy (prana). Her knowledge of alignment and her skilled eye guide you into poses in a way you can access and truly feel ease and grace. Brigit shares her knowledge with joy, clarity and compassion. She finishes her classes with a deep relaxation to allow for integration of your practice on every level of your being. Brigit teaches from her passion that springs from decades of personal experience and witnessing each transformation that yoga brings.
Brigit has recently moved to the Hudson Valley Region of New York and is excited and honored to teach in her new community. 🕉️
