Brandy Baybutt is a certified Iyengar Yoga Instructor who trained under skilled mentors at the Iyengar Yoga Centre of Victoria and is fortunate to have learned from those who apprenticed directly with B.K.S. Iyengar. She studies regularly with senior teachers and currently holds a Level II Iyengar Yoga certification. Brandy recently graduated from the KRIPA Foundation Iyengar Yoga certification for addictions support.
Anne first encountered Iyengar Yoga in the 1980''s and became a regular student in 2010. With a love of movement and a career in the performing arts, she sought a practice that would support the physical and emotional hiccoughs of life in a human body. This quest repeatedly brought her back to Iyengar practice, where she felt both nurtured and challenged. Over the years, Anne has worked with many teachers at the Iyengar Centre of Victoria and Calgary Iyengar Yoga, as well as visiting teachers such as Ramanand Patel, Jawahar Bhangera, Corrine Biria and Chris Saudek. Anne was mentored by Ty Chandler for her training and is a Level One Certified Iyengar Yoga Teacher.
Brandy’s teaching style focuses on sharing her knowledge with clarity and lightheartedness.
Moment Yoga follows the Iyengar methodology, teaching the asanas (postures) clearly and deliberately, to enable students to develop an intelligent way of working with their own body and mind. Brandy demonstrates poses, and takes time to observe and assist the students, deepening and correcting their postures. The focus is directed in developing the student's awareness and attention through correct alignment, effective timing and holding of postures, and effective sequencing to bring harmony to both the physical body and mental state. As students deepen their practice, pranayama (breathwork) techniques are also taught.
Beginner Class is for those students who are new to yoga, have taken a break from practice and want to clarify the basic actions, or for students new to Iyengar Yoga.

Has a slower pace than a regular class. In this class we take more time to provide extra supports in poses when required.
This class focuses on the vinyasa aspect of practice where we will move through a series of
poses linked together.
This class requires attendance in a regular class in addition to the flow class.
This class is designed to soothe and restore the nerves. Longer, supported variations of the asanas are taken to create relaxation and relief from the strains and stresses of daily life. Some breathe work (pranayama) is also included.
