Our Yoga Instructors

Chris Brown

Chris came to yoga in early 2006 seeking balance to a successful professional life. He still works in that same successful professional life, and attributes the clarity of mind that yoga brings to creating more opportunity and less stress in everyday life. In yoga, there is a process of learning to get out of our own way. We live in the world. Let its challenges and joys open every moment. In your professional life, be more effective, in your family life, more loving, in your spiritual life, more present. Listen to that light within.

He completed his 200 hour teacher training at North Main Yoga in 2008 and his 500 hour certification at The Asheville Yoga Center in 2009. He has had the opportunity to study with Max Strom, Stephanie Keach, Shala Worsley, Doug Keller, Eric Schiffmann, Paulie Zink, Cora Wen, and others. Chris continues his practice, focusing on compassion, kindness and grace.

His practice is physical vinyasa, yin and meditation. Above all, practice with compassion, you will get there in time, be patient, be kind, learn that your failings and struggles are your best teachers, these are your greatest blessings.

On March 1, 2009, Chris was in a car accident and suffered a broken back. He wore a brace for two months and continues to work towards full recovery....weakness sometimes creates new openings and new grace. After being told that he could begin a gentle practice four months after the accident, Chris started on the mat 6 days following the accident, and hasn’t missed a day since. Chris studies yoga therapy and is most interested in healing the body, mind, and spirit. He is available to work with individuals, small groups, or just answer a question. Feel free to ask or send an e-mail to: chris@dharmayogastudios.com

Chris was married in 1997 and has two little boys. He likes music, laughter, sweat, good friends, and lazy afternoons with the kids. He feels strongly about not taking himself too seriously.
