Episode 5: Benefits of Yoga Nidra with Brent Buckelew

Travel Food Yoga

In this episode I had the pleasure of interviewing Brent Buckelew, a local yoga teacher who teaches a restorative and all-level flow class at Love Yoga in North Albany. Brent has been practicing yoga for 5 years and moved to Oregon from Alabama in 2018. From starting a non-profit yoga studio out of his house to completing an intense yoga teacher training in Bali, he's had quite the yoga journey so far! I discovered his yoga nidra class on Superbowl Sunday of 2018, and have been sold on guided meditations ever since. He now incorporates Yoga Nidra into the second half of his restorative class. In this episode he shares his knowledge of Yoga Nidra, gets briefly into the science behind it, and explains the benefits for both children and adults, as well as how this practice is being used in the army. You can try his Yoga Nidra class before he moves in June on Sunday nights at Love Yoga from 7-8:15pm, or his all-level flow class on Monday afternoons from 4:15-5:15pm.
