Present Moment YOGA

 What is YOGA? 

Yoga can be described as a way of being accessible in each and every moment. In this light, the disciplines of yoga are techniques that clear obstacles that prevent us from being who and what we naturally are. As the fruit is already present in the seed, yoga is not the result of any action to attain a goal. It is simply a return to our natural state.

Who is Present Moment Yoga?

Dawn Brooks, RN, RYT

I have been a Registered Nurse since 1984, Graduating from Stormont-Vail School of Nursing in Topeka, Kansas. I have had a fulfilling practice in nursing in many capacities including hospital, office, telephone triage and most recently outpatient care services here in Panama City working in surgery and with Pain Management patients in the procedure room.

I began practicing Yoga in 2003 to help with assorted physical problems I was experiencing.  Over the next several years I fell in love with Yoga and just knew I wanted to teach. I began teaching at a local fitness center in 2005.  The self directed education I did to prepare catapulted me into a home practice and opened new doors into the vast experience of Yoga. 

Wanting to reach more people with Yoga,  in February of 2008 I attended Discovery Yoga Teachers Training in St. Augustine Florida, qualifying me as as a Registered Yoga Teacher with the Yoga Alliance. This 200hr 5 week training in the Kripalu tradition has provided me with knowlege and experience to provide a complete yoga experience to my students.  Together with my nursing education and experience I am able to provide an appropriate Yoga experience to virtually anyone.

I am Currently working toward a 500 hr Teaching Certification at Discovery Yoga with an emphasis on yoga therapy.
