For nearly two decades, Brent Kuecker (he/him) has helped people to feel at home in their bodies through teaching the practices of Yoga. He is not only a Yoga and meditation teacher, but also a professional musician, videographer, and photographer. He teaches with a humanistic vision and compassionately shares what he has learned through his life and teaching work. His studies are very wide and Brent is indeed a polymath in the field of Yoga - with expertise in anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, meditation, metaphysics, cosmology, tantra, mantra, kirtan, sutras - there is literally not one facet of Yoga that Brent is not interested in or willing to investigate and integrate. Brent meets students where they are, and is exceptional with therapeutics. Brent moved to Boulder, CO in 2016. He has toured the world with the other co-founder of the Sacred Sound Lab, Sheela Bringi, playing music and together they have developed a method of Yoga practice that combines elements of sacred sound, deep listening, meditation, and chanting into a deeply embodied movement practice. It is called the Sound Soma Method. Brent has also produced two online courses: The Hero's Journey (for Yogis), and Low Back Resilience (for people with low back ailments). In late 2024, Brent moved to Crestone, CO where he now lives happily in the beautiful high desert.
