DownDog Yoga Teacher Spotlight – Colin Brightfield
February 27, 2012
http://downdogyoga.com Colin is a lover of yoga in many ways. His first experience with yoga was a class in high school with his mother. After playing rugby in college, Colin turned to yoga to heal his body, and quickly realized that yoga was his path. A student of philosophy, Colin immediately appreciated the traditions of yoga and began to delve deep into eastern philosophy. He studied classic texts in the eastern tradition and worked hard to develop a strong practice. In August 2008, Colin earned his initial teaching certification with Rolf Gates, and has been enjoying teaching yoga ever since, joining Down Dog Yoga in June 2009.
Colin understands first-hand the power of yoga to create balance in the body, mind and spirit. He remembers being surprised by the small changes in his body as he healed past rugby injuries and regained a connection to his body. Furthermore, he experienced the transformational powers of yoga in his life, stoking his desire to to focus on his practice.
Colin believes that yoga is a constant evolution and is always amazed by how much this practice has given him. No matter how much Colin gives to yoga, yoga always finds a way give back multitudes more. One of his favorite quotes is by the late master teacher Sri K. Pattabhi Jois; “Practice, and all is coming.”
Colin loves teaching and is grateful for the chance to share his passion and energy with others. He teaches classes with a strong sense of breath and flow, celebrating people for exactly who they are, and believing wholeheartedly in their potential to achieve their goals. Yoga has blossomed into his life’s passion, and he hopes to share his passion, energy and love with others.
