After finishing Yoga Teacher Training in 2013, Bri took a step back from yoga all together and took a (decade) long, hard look at her spirituality and yoga practice. Now, stepping back into her practice and onto her mat, she has never felt more ready to take her yoga practice and teaching journey deeper with a new perspective. As a medical professional, she is fascinated by evidence-based movement sciences and loves to see these practices applied to Yoga Asana. Her thirst for knowledge and curious mind keep her constantly learning and growing. Her favorite element to weave into her classes is laughter!
Braya began playing the harp at a young age and, after years of classical training, started intertwining her harp music with yoga in 2018. She began by playing for vinyasa classes at her local studio in Minneapolis, MN, and now offers sound baths regularly in collaboration with Bri through Desert Sound & Spirit—a unique yoga experience that blends vinyasa flow with live harp music.
Together, they create fully immersive, sensory-based classes rooted in movement and sound. Each session concludes with a deep relaxation sound bath savasana, inviting balance, stillness, and connection. This class is suitable for all levels of yoga practitioners.
Bri holds the RYT-200 credential. Brayana holds a Masters degree in music. Bri has been practicing yoga for 15 years. Braya has been practicing for 20 years. We provide an approachable, uplifting environment, where yoga practitioners of all levels (beginners, too!) can show up to the mat as they are and experience the ethereal sound of the harp, while practicing asana in community with one-another.
