Perhaps you’ve heard this before ... We are not human beings learning to be spiritual. We are spiritual

beings learning to be human. At Santosh Yoga, we firmly believe that to be true. Therefore, while we

strive to keep the body healthy and the mind and emotions stable, our ultimate goal is to keep our

spirit alive to its inner calling.

As you are guided through postures and learn the importance of life/breath work, equal measure is

gently but firmly applied to the soul. Using his soft voice and soothing demeanor, Bryant shares with

students his philosophy of life. Meant to help people truly live their yoga, this is a sampling of what

you’re likely to hear from Bryant:

When you are born, you are soft and flexible. On your deathbed, you are hard and inflexible. So, softness

must be the fountain of youth and hardness the disciple of death.

The art of being here and now is to be bodily nowhere and spiritually everywhere.

Doctors say, “Take the medication three times a day for ten days.” I say, “Take my yoga practice once a day

for ten days.”

The root of all sickness is unhappiness. When was the last time you were happy and sick at the same time?

The root of all unhappiness is our desires. Learn to control them through yoga and you will learn to be happy.

Our first duty as a teacher is to penetrate the depths of our teachings and then live their principles.

If you want to really find a yoga teacher, look to their life and how they live it.

Stuck in yesterday? Forget about the past; there is no life in it. Forget your anxiety for the future; it is

non-existant. Learn the art of living one day at-a-time, one moment at-a-time, right here and right now.

This is the only truth.

Ask me not who I was or where I came from. Ask me what I can become.

Real passion is when we learn to let go of our attachments.

Love what you do and do only what you love.

If you had all the money, all the health, and all the time in the world - what would you do with your life?

What is stopping you from doing it?
