Book And Paperback
What is yoga, really? Who—and what—is it for? And why does it matter?
For thousands of years, yoga evolved in relative obscurity before exploding into a global phenomenon. Today it is practiced by hundreds of millions of people in almost every country on Earth, yet it is still widely misunderstood—often reduced to fitness, stress relief, or vague spirituality. In truth, yoga is far more: a sophisticated system for transforming body, mind, and our relationship to the world.
A Yogi’s Guide to Yoga cuts through the confusion with a clear, grounded exploration of yoga’s rich history, profound philosophy, and compelling science. Drawing from ancient wisdom and modern research, this book reveals how yoga works, why it matters now more than ever, and how its practices can address the physical, mental, and social challenges of modern life. Whether you’re a curious beginner or a seasoned practitioner, it offers a deeper understanding not only of what yoga is, but what it might become—in your own life and in our ever-changing world.

“He’s friendly and playful, but also serious and demanding. He brings both physical and mental challenges, but makes it all fun. He really knows how to connect with a class and it’s clear how much he cares. His insight on life is deep and on point. My favorite teacher by far.”
Graham E.
“As a yoga teacher, it is very rare that I will go on another yoga teacher’s retreat. However, my dear yogi brother Brent is not just a yoga teacher, he’s a philosophy teacher, as well. He is a calm, chill presence, and he gathers really special people from all walks of life to journey with him. His retreat to the south of France came at a time when I really needed healing, and it was a wonderful experience to be in his presence. I highly and fully recommend you get your ass-ana on one of his retreats... game changer!”
What People Are Saying
“Without exaggerating, every experience I have had with Brent has been life changing. I have been lucky enough to be a part of two teacher trainings and one mentorship with him. He is one of the most amazing humans I know. Insightful, kind, thoughtful and wise, he is also a creative genius when it comes to asana and vinyasa practice, and a sage on yoga history and philosophy. If you are seeking to deepen your practice, you would be well served to take part in his mentorship. It is veritably guaranteed you will not regret it.”
Brittany L
“It’s been one of the hardest parts of online learning for my teacher colleagues and me. When I think about this time and my own rebalancing into self care, Brent’s classes have helped reverse the effects of burnout. Thank you! I feel strong and peaceful.”
