Brenda Oneal
Brenda Oneal has a background in teaching as a leader coach; she has been working with business leaders for over 19 years. She is trained in classical ballet and has acted as a dance instructor to young people, as well as a gymnastics coach/dance instructor for a private university in the Midwest.
Brenda believes people are motivated by their inner truth and that truth dictates a person’s behavior. She sees a tightly coupled relationship between one’s yoga practice and their leadership practice. “Eventually,” she says, “we all have to engage in leadership in one way or another in life, at work, with family or in volunteer projects in the community. Leadership development is personal development, an act of creativity through self-reflection, self-realization and practice.”
Yoga helps bring a fresh outlook for meeting the day-to-day challenges of life. She believes that practicing yoga is also an act of
creativity and through regular yoga practice, one develops the ability to look inside and successfully navigate the challenges in life.
From Brenda’s perspective, one’s yoga practice positively influences one’s leadership practice.
Brenda has practiced Forrest Yoga the past six years under Heidi Sormaz and is inspired by her personal discipline as a yogi, and her commitment to nurture and develop the New Haven yoga community. Brenda has studied with Ana Forrest in the Forrest Yoga Teacher Training Foundation course as well as many intensive workshops. Recently, Brenda completed the Forrest Yoga Mentorship Program under the leadership of Forrest Yoga Guardian, Heidi Sormaz and the Forrest Yoga Advanced Teacher Training course with Ana Forrest.
Brenda writes a regular blog (www.LookInside.biz) where she encourages readers to look inside themselves, the lives they live and the choices they are making to find the answers that will lead to personal success. She invites her students (and clients) to get into physical shape and develop a new understanding of “you”, on and off the mat.
