Maureen Brennan

Maureen is a native Long Islander who has recently returned to her “roots’’ in Southampton, NY. Her yoga journey began in New York City when she was an avid runner and saw an ad for “yoga for runners” class in a YMCA in the late 1980’s. It was the beginning of an exploration of yoga which has spanned over three decades. After a career in the television business, Maureen and her husband and daughter moved to London in 1998 where Maureen continued her yoga practice in mostly pre-natal classes. (She had three sons born in 1998, 2000 and 2002.) After moving back to the USA in 2007, Maureen continued to explore all different types of yoga classes. In 2017, she completed a 200hr yoga teacher training at the Long Island School of Yoga and began teaching at the beach in the summertime. In the summer of 2018, she took her
first class at Yoga Shanti with Rodney and then some classes with Colleen and felt she had finally found her yoga “home.” In 2021, she completed both the 200hr and 300hr teacher training at Yoga Shanti and credits Colleen and Rodney and all the mentors for keeping her sane during the pandemic when all of her children returned home. She is thrilled to be dipping her yoga teacher toe in the Community classes at Yoga Shanti and filled with gratitude to remain teachable. The journey continues…
