Brandie Redinger
MUSE: What is your vow as a teacher?
Brandie: I vow to develop my students into full engagement of the body/mind/heart, for the purpose of evolving destiny. I aspire to do this by always expecting the impossible, while embracing limitations as a direct doorway into unfolding possibilities. I understand the student-teacher relationship as a vehicle to inspire awakening through a sacred and ethical obligation. There are no great teachers without great students. This relationship is about process and engagement. I vow to be present, authentic and transparent with my students as well as to sustain as ever evolving studentship with my own brilliant teachers.
MUSE: Therefore, who is your student?
Brandie: My student is the one yearning and willing to open their heart brightly toward their unborn potential. He/she is also the one who is naturally captured and fascinated by the "evolutionary impulse" and genius of the evolving Universe, yoga philosophy and one who is curious about their own place and responsibility in creating a greater future. To me, the most exciting student to meet is the one hopelessly surrendered to the delight of their MUSE and is deeply anchored by their caring for the world.
MUSE: What do you think is the most profound aspect of the study of yoga?
Brandie: Yoga has a fantastic 7,000 year old history of a spiritual cultural and social revolution. Yoga empowers people, it is brilliant.
