Gabriel Logan Braun is a dance and movement enthusiast, yoga and surf teacher, healer and musician. He is here to share his gifts for the greater good of humanity and all life. He has been on the path of transformation for the past 7 years.
It all started when he took his first yoga class with Govindas and Radha 7 years ago. He recalls a moment when Radha played her flute and he was immediately transported to another dimension of expanded love consciousness. As he began to dive deeper into his own healing and connection to Source/God through yoga, he had his first experience with Kirtan music (call and response chanting). The experience of complete surrender to the Higher Self/God allowed for an even greater opening within his own heart and his Spirit soared! The path of Bhakti yoga (path of devotion) and Kirtan truly transformed his life.
It was through these experiences in combination with the teachings from yoga, dance, movement, meditation, qi-gong and tai-chi, music/sound healing and traveling to different countries to experience different cultures and lands, that he began to remember why he was really here and what his true gifts were. It is his deepest desire to be of service to help others awaken to their own innate gifts and inner knowing through the practice of yoga.
Gabriel has been fortunate to have studied with some amazing teachers including Marianne Karou (founder of Dance Alive), Olaf Hartmann (Potentizing Life), Cassidy Phelps (Awake-One), Yogi David Chardon, Govindas and Radha Rosen (Bhakti Yoga Shala) and Saul David Raye (Ritam Healing Arts) to name a few. Gabriel is a certified Massage Technician from the Institute of Psycho Structural Balancing (IPSB) (150 hrs) and certified Yoga Teacher from the Ritam School of Healing Arts (200+ hrs).
It is his passion to help others to experience a connection to something greater than themselves beyond their mind, to live more connected to their bodies, to learn to listen to, live and love from their hearts, and to live authentic and truthful lives.
Thank you and Namaste
The Path of Yoga
Yoga literally translates to union or yolking of. In my experience, yoga has been about connecting and relating to the deeper aspects of myself and in turn, all of life. As the Yogi Nityananda said, "Yoga is the journey of the Self, through the Self, to the Self". In order to really know our true self, we must first go on an inner journey to the heart of who we truly are as cosmic and eternal beings. This experience of connecting to the inner-universe within me has allowed for me to connect to the greater universe that exists all around me and to see and know all life as sacred.
On my own personal journey, yoga has really been about being able to make the journey from the mind into the heart. Learning how to connect and live more fully from my own heart in every moment is what is all about. Bhakti yoga (the path of devotion) has helped guide me to this place of eternal love and resource with my own heart and being. Through Kirtan music (call and response chanting) I have been able to surrender to my Higher Self/God and WOW! my life has been transformed.
I see the true purpose and goal of yoga as freeing ourselves from the impurities of the mind, dissolving the layers of ourselves that hold us back from who we truly are and keep us attached to the Maya (Great Illusion), to see and know all life as sacred, and to surrender to the great eternal resource and love that lives within our hearts by being open vessels for Spirit to flow through us.
RADIANT HEART FLOW with Gabriel Braun - Tues and Thurs 9am
The yoga class that I am offering is a fun and dynamic Hatha-based all levels yoga class sprinkled with elements of qi-gong and tai-chi, pranayama (breathing exercises), dynamic movement and dance, sound healing and Kirtan (call and response chanting). In this class, you have the freedom to explore your deeper connection to yourself within the structure provided and to learn to listen more deeply to your own internal guidance and resource. By breathing, singing and chanting, moving our bodies and dancing, and opening our hearts together, we become more embodied and connected to our true purpose and divine nature. Start your day off grounded, present and connected, and eternally nourished and fed as you move through life!
Looking forward to seeing you in class soon!
Unconditional Love, Infinite Light, Eternal Peace, Causeless Joy, and Deep Gratitude and Respect for all Life,
Gabriel Logan Braun
