Brette Berlin Scott
Brette Berlin Scott has been a lover and teacher of yoga for more than 25 years. She owns and teaches at Shakti Yoga, the longest running studio in Des Moines, Iowa.
Her teaching style is dynamic, authentic and non-dogmatic. Having studied with some of modern yoga’s best, she is well versed in alignment and sees her classes as a synthesis of doing and feeling. She embraces the idea that all kinds of bodies can do yoga and is gifted at meeting individual needs. Wether in the studio or on retreat, Brette’s aim is to impart knowledge, invite inquiry and inspire growth.
Brette loves travel, a good read and healthy, delicious food. If she did not discover yoga when she did, she thinks thinks surfing or cooking might have been her gig. She lives in Iowa with her husband, two teenagers and Yellow Lab, Toes.
Brette’s holistic approach extends beyond the physical, incorporating meditation and breathwork into her classes. She skillfully guides participants to release stress and cultivate inner peace, fostering mental and spiritual well-being. Her warm demeanor creates an atmosphere of joy and connection, making every session feel like a gathering of friends.
I left the retreat feeling not only physically rejuvenated but also more in tune with my body and mind. Brette’s teaching style instilled a newfound appreciation for the subtleties of movement and breath, leaving me grateful for the incredible and transformative experience she facilitated.
