about ssanyu brooks

Hello! I'm Ssanyu (aka Sunny) & my intention is to guide students who are seeking a place to be their authentic selves. I offer guidance through intelligent sequencing, genuine inquiry, passionate encouragement, and collective synergy. With the intricacies and fluctuations of living, creating a sweet space for freedom of being is my priority. I encourage you to have fun, be curious, catch the beat, share your spark, receive support, take rest, and laugh - loudly. I continually seek wisdom and understanding while honoring nuances of the human condition. I place lots of love and careful thought into all services.

Exploring movement practices became my priority in 2016. Years of sedentary living subsequently led to injuries doing ordinary things. Compulsory wakeup call! Spontaneously, I took a Power Yoga class. Loving every challenging, sweaty, awkward, and exhaustingly heart-pumping moment, I completed a 200-hour yoga teaching training in 2019. That was followed by hundreds of hours of teacher trainings, workshops, and continuous self-study.

My current evolution of the practice of teaching yoga is wholly living & heartily encouraging essentials for practice - the breath, body, mind, and spirit. Cueing is anatomically inspired to create a nearly universal reference point. Exploring strength, personal endurance, breathwork, and internal inquiry is woven into every offering. Just simply being human will be celebrated. Guiding a compassionate practice, creating space, and loving the humanity in it is my intention. I strive to be a catalyst for renewal, joy, and evolution of your practice. You are invited to fully explore your yoga!

Bringing my best to you, by way of the heart. Thank you.
