ABOUT THE TEACHER - "My mission is to create a space for diversity in yoga, health & wellness" - Brandy Rametta
Brandy Rametta uses yoga not just as a physical practice but also as a source of light to strengthen mental health and raise emotional intelligence. With a personal interest in helping others, she uses yoga as a form of therapy. Certified in both yoga and as a cognitive behavioral practitioner, Brandy uses her education along with her life experience to better serve others. A graduate of Cal State University Northridge and a certified 200-hour registered yoga teacher from the school of Soul Ascension Healing Arts, Brandy is continuing her yoga education and is currently working on her 500-Hour YTT Yoga Alliance certification with Science of Self; she also continues to educate herself in the mental health field and finds her advocacy by inviting speakers and wellness sponsors to the Heart & Soul Yoga space to share inspiration, motivation, community connection and healing. Brandy is committed to bringing awareness to communities, corporations and organizations and sharing yoga as a universal remedy for healing, mindfulness and peaceful living. Rametta is grateful to have had the opportunity to teach yoga and speak on topics like generational wellness, healing, yoga & mental health to major groups such as ActiVision, The Lions Club, The Female Maker Market, The Chito Foundation, The City of Whittier School District, The Whole Child, National Charity League, Rise Up Act, Bridge Home Health & Hospice for Senior Citizens and is currently the Wellness Director for The Uncuffed Project.
