In his own life as well as the lives of his clients, he's seen first-hand how this form of therapy has improved trauma, mental health, autoimmune disorders as well migraines, obesity, and other disorders. Brandt also shares how the art of meditation and breathing can be life-changing for people and can connect the mind, spirit, and body in a way that effectuates change and healing. Although it's individualized to all those he works with, the simplest forms of meditation can be implemented to help his client's immediate needs. Yoga can also be for people with little ability to move, or the elderly with poor balance, to the person who is more experienced with yoga practices. It helps people on all levels – and the good news is, you don't have to be in a group setting if that doesn't meet your needs during the pandemic.
