Brooks Buddy

I developed an interest and appreciation of practicing yoga and mindfulness after completing an eight-week mindfulness meditation course in 2015. Since then, I have been regularly attending classes at Asheville Community Yoga and happily graduated from ACY’s Yoga Teacher Training in 2025.
As a Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist and Activities Director in Skilled Nursing, I am passionate about improving quality of life for older adults! In my free time, I enjoy volunteering with both ACY Yoga and Four Seasons Hospice, spending time in nature, gardening, bird watching, hiking, swimming, laughing and spending time with friends and family.
My yoga practice continues to teach me that when I stay connected to my body and breathe, I find joy and presence is my life.
