Bryn is a Certified Yoga Teacher through the lineage of Bhakti Yoga, Ayurvedic & Somatic Wellness Counselor and Marma Therapy practitioner. She weaves together years of training as a dancer, with her deeper studies and curiosities of the body, mind and soul. Through traversing many injuries throughout her youth and moving through various anxieties and trauma in her own life, Bryn continues to develop her work in a way that seeks to hold space for the entirety of each individual she encounters. Bryn believes that while this life is full of unique experiences for every one of us, we can utilize the infinite wisdom of the body, mind and soul, along with the ancient teachings of the material and spiritual worlds to bring us closer to our optimal state of being. Through practical applications of Ayurveda, food, lifestyle, somatic movement, meditation and more, Bryn curates individualized experiences for her clients in a way that serves them in their own path. Bryn holds space for education-based, YOU-centered support. There is no one-size-fits-all model to healing, and as we open the space to see ourselves and care for our wounds, we are able to move forward from a place of deeper strength, rooted in our understanding of our complex selves. Each breath we take, each step forward is a gift. As we tune in to our true frequency, we are able to take part in our own lives more intentionally and dig into the work of community and change. It is time to shed and let go and stand in our bodies, with our minds as ourselves. Through this work, Bryn is humbled and deeply grateful to support you on your journey. This is for you.
Bryn holds a Bachelor of Science in Dance and Psychology from the University of Oregon. She holds a 200hr Yoga Teacher certification through the Bhakti Center in NYC and over 1000 of Ayurveda & Marma Therapy training with Yamuna Bihari, the Ayurvedic Health Retreat, Dr. Bhaswati Bhatacharya, Divya Alter and Dr. Vasant Lad. Her somatic training has been with Michelle Boulè, Tias Little and Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen amongst many more! She is honored to carry on the work of her great teachers and weave it into the varied experiences of her own life. She is currently attending University of Western States in Portland, Oregon completing a Doctor of Chiropractic. Forever a student, forever curious.

Hi! My name is Bryn. You may know me from dance/movement space, my former business Svastha Holistic Healing, Marma/bodywork, Ayurveda land or somewhere else entirely.
Welcome!
I am on hiatus with work right now as I bury my heart in my studies, walking toward my Doctor of Chiropractic here in Portland, Oregon.
I have inhabited many body spaces through offering and education. I am grateful to be diving into this modality of alignment and mobility, support and structure and I will be tapped out of creating new content for the foreseeable future.
That being said, I have some delicious offerings for you!
I’ve created three subscription spaces
(MOVE, NOURISH & WHOLE BODY)
for you to orient to my pre-recorded classes and workshops in a way that feels supportive to you.
A couple of things to note —
You will see individual collections and videos for the workshops priced at $99999 lol! This is not their price, however the only videos that are available for individual rent are the Svastha Asana yoga videos. For access to other video collections, workshops, classes, immersions and everything else, please subscribe at the tier of your choosing! Read below for details on individual tiers.
I chose to operate under a subscription model to encourage you to engage in the material regularly. If now is not the time, it is not the time and that is okay! My intention is actually that you are not a “lifetime subscriber” while I am in school/on hiatus from creating new content. Rather while you are subscribed, you access and return to the content in a way that flows with your life and style of intake.
My intention is also not that you rapid consume all of the content! You do you, though I encourage you to take your time and move through the different programs at a pace that feels digestible.
ALL TIERS include a 3 day free trial for you to poke around and see if you have landed in the right place for you.
If finances are preventing you from engaging in this work as you desire, please reach out! I am here to support and happy to collaborate to make things work for you.
You can totally change tiers! If you start out with WHOLE BEING or NOURISH and have had your fill but you still want access to MOVE, just send me an email at bhlava@gmail.com and I will scoot you around on the back end.
These courses and material are here for you to move through at your pace over the amount of time that you desire. You are welcome and encouraged to reach out with questions, curiosities, needs and desires via email (bhlava@gmail.com) throughout your subscription!
Lastly! I am in school full time and gratefully accepting additional donations! From $ for a coffee to $$$ for text books, groceries and beyond. If you have the means to share your means, you can send a little love via venmo @bryn-hlava ✨

MOVE ($16, $27 or $39 / month*)
Unlimited access to over 100 yoga asana classes (previously under the name of Svastha Asana)! These classes are for all yogis looking to move! Some experience may be supportive. I use a somatic approach of body awareness in movement to bring us into a meditative place, harnessing the mind and moving the body with intention.

These are gentle suggestions for selecting your rate—with the understanding that your financial situation is uniquely yours and may not fit neatly into this template. I trust you to choose a fair rate, that is realistic for you.*
