Bio: Will Brashear

Will (William Brashear / E-RYT 500) is the president of Cincinnati Yoga School. He has studied yoga since 1987 and has traveled regularly throughout India since 2003 to deepen his practice.

Will was certified in India as an Ashtanga Yoga teacher by Masterji Vishwanath (nephew and former assistant to “Guruji” Patabhi Jois) and certified in America in the Kripalu Yoga tradition by Martha Abbot and in Thai Yoga Massage by Rishi Dion. In 2004 assembled a crew of yogic teachers from the Sri Aurobindo Ashram and other yogic lineages throughout India to create a model Graduate Degree program for Antioch University McGregor (AUM) in Integral Yoga Psychology.

Will has served on the Spiritual Assembly of the Baha’i's of Cincinnati and other communities for many years and was asked by the National Spiritual Assembly of the Baha’i's of India to create materials to help Baha’i communities connect and correlate with Hindu and Buddhist communities through the teachings of yoga. As a long time student of comparative/complementary religion, Will is the author of The Yoga of Religion (Inland Press, 2004) and was the host of YOGA: The Other 98%, on 1530 WCKY –The Revolution of Talk Radio.

FYS Yoga Teacher Training 2013

Posted in: Yoga Teacher Training |

Cincinnati Yoga School, Frankfort Yoga Studio, and Leeland Valley Present

VISHWA BHUTA ARADHANA
Yoga Teacher Training


A 300 Hour Retreat / Training

Eligible for Registry with Yoga Alliance

at the Basic Level (RYT 200+) for beginners

& Advanced Level (RYT 500) for those with prior training

Summer/Fall 2013

(Five Great Elements: Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Space)
Vishwa ~ Universal,   Bhuta ~ Elements,   Aradhana ~ Glorifying God

Principles of five elements bring mental, emotional, and physical healing. They also imbibe the Virtuous Attributes that reflect the Divine Image, as it is cultivated in the True Self.

Leeland Valley, just outside of Frankfort, Kentucky, offers a perfect natural oasis for this work to take place. This training will often utilize Frankfort Yoga Studio, in charming downtown Frankfort. The heart of the training is in the Valley. The Valley is a ten minute drive from the studio.

For those who seek even deeper immersion into nature or those who may be coming from far away, you have the option to stay in the farm house.  The house is located in the valley.  It is near the murmur of a soft flowing creek; or pitch a tent in the heart of Leeland’s forest!
