Brian Lefeve

Retreat Leader

As a dedicated yogi with over 18 years of practice and 12 years of teaching under my belt, my yoga journey began as a personal quest for inner peace and physical well-being, which quickly evolved into a deep passion for guiding others. My teaching style is a unique fusion of ancient wisdom and modern neuroscience, offering a class experience that blends traditional yoga techniques with innovative mental performance strategies.

With 30 years in the surf industry as an elite athlete and trainer, I've harnessed various wellness modalities that have profoundly enhanced my mental, physical, and spiritual health. These experiences have not only fueled my competitive edge but have also made me happier and more fulfilled than ever before. As a Certified Life Coach and Mental Performance Coach, I weave transformational coaching into each session, aiming to enhance both the mental and physical health of my students.
