Brooke West BSc, C-IAYT (they/she), has been teaching trauma-sensitive restorative yoga and meditation in the Kriya Yoga tradition since 2005. Brooke favors rest- and relaxation-based practices, ayurveda, psychology and Twelve Step recovery principles to promote introspective healing for herself and for those impacted by diagnoses and spiritual awakening processes.

Certified as a yoga therapist by the International Association of Yoga Therapists, Brooke is a mental health consumer and psychiatric survivor providing yoga therapy and mentorship both online and in person. 

Brooke is the creator of the Mad Yoga Network, offering peer support to and from yoga practitioners with mental health and spiritual emergence experiences.

Water lover, comedy fan, florist, and astrologer, Brooke currently conjures practical magic on the Washoe shores of Da Ow Aga, colonized as Lake Tahoe, California. 

Brooke is grateful for the privilege of dreaming-in a new, peaceful world with Yoga and co-creating cross-movement solidarity with the help of Spirit.
