[av_dropcap1]S[/av_dropcap1]ince in the womb, Brandon Spratt has been a yogi. His mother was a practicing yogini while she was pregnant and around the age of four he was invited into his first yoga class. Growing up with a semi-regular, consistent meditation and yoga influence from his family, Brandon adopted a meditation practice into his life at a very early age. Any time there was stress, anxiety or depression, Brandon had that little voice in the back of his mind that would simply say, “meditate.”
Even though Brandon was practicing yoga and meditation regularly, the commitment to becoming a yoga, meditation and spiritual teacher didn’t come until much later, after many hardships and moments of intense and abrupt spiritual awakenings. When he turned 21, his life collapsed in ways that not even Hollywood producers could script. Ending up homeless on the streets for about a year of his life, he had spiritual visions of other dimensions and communication with Source in deeply visceral and cathartic ways. In deep meditation on the beach one cold night, homeless and hopeless, Brandon asked the Universe what is my purpose? One word was heard. “Yoga.” In that moment, clarity arrived and the past could begin to be swept away. Direction, clarity and purpose arrived in a flash of insight. In a moment, everything changed.

Now Brandon teaches his students that anything can be overcome. And that a positive mind and an open heart even through the hardest of challenges is truly the highest spiritual path. The ability to say, “thank you.” In the midst of chaos takes deep faith. Using yogic tools of asana, mantra, pranayama and the importance of consistency, discipline and devotion, Brandon provides his students ways to stay close to their soul and on their unique path of destiny and dharma. Many yoga and meditation teachers in the West today teach anatomy and technical aspects of yoga. This is important and needed, but Brandon has a way of bringing in the practical spirituality into the teachings.
Brandon is currently nomadic, but spends a majority of his time in Bali, Indonesia. He has continued to travel the world teaching and sharing yoga at workshops, retreats, immersions and trainings. Over the next year months he will be in; Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, India, Costa Rica, Panama, Los Angeles, Cocoa Beach, Fiji and the Philippines facilitating retreats. Since completing his Kundalini Yoga teacher training, Brandon has become a certified Past Life Regression Hypnotherapist, Crystal Healer, Reiki Practitioner, Certified Life Coach and is currently getting his BA in Ayurveda to help his clients with diet and lifestyle refining and keeping an ancient, alternative and holistic practice alive into the future.
