Brent Mackay
Brent was born in Vancouver, Canada, and spent most of his formative years on the west coast of Canada. He has a bachelor’s degree in English & a professional teacher’s certificate.
He first arrived in Palma on a small sailboat in 1989 & immediately fell in love with this enchanted place. He began teaching English and ended up staying almost two and a half years.
Over the course of the past twenty years, Brent started a family, owned three businesses, traveled, became single, lived in New York City, became a painter and has continuously moved toward the fullest possibilities and expressions of life.
From the start, Brent knew yoga had something different to offer but his path took him in many different directions, until 5 years ago when he returned to the mat. Since that time, he has developed a daily practice and has studied with teachers such as John Friend, Seane Corn, Desiree Rumbaugh, Cristina Sell & Noah Maze.
In 2008 he took his first teacher training with Eoin Finn and began teaching soon after. In 2009 he met certified Anusara Yoga teacher Chris Chavez in a workshop and decided to take the Anusara immersions & teacher trainings, which he completed in January 2011.
Brent’s classes are focused & full of opportunities to explore the possibilities of mind, body & spirit from the foundation of alignment into action & the expression of Grace.
