Brandy Lyn has been practicing and teaching yoga for nearly two decades. She completed Bikram Yoga Teacher Training in Fall 2006 and went on to become the 2010 International Yoga Champion. In 2020, during a time when the yoga community deeply needed connection and continuity, Brandy founded The Ivy Standard Yoga Institute.

 

Brandy has taught students around the world and brings extensive experience leading teacher trainings. She is especially passionate about working with seasoned teachers—helping them refine their skills, deepen their understanding, and grow through disciplined, lineage-based practice. She has devoted countless hours to studying, practicing, and teaching the 26&2 series and the 84 Asanas (Advanced Class) of the Ghosh lineage.  This experience led her to create signature classes, Integrated Hatha and THE 108.

 

In 2017, Brandy began her study of the Ashtanga Yoga system, which has since become her primary practice. In 2023, she spent a month in Mysore, India, practicing at Sharath Yoga Centre. She recently finished the Fourth Series of Ashtanga Yoga and thoughtfully weaves elements of the Ashtanga system into her teaching.

 

As a mother of three young children, Brandy has come to understand that the deepest lessons of yoga unfold off the mat. While asana remains essential to her life, it is ultimately a tool for meeting the ever-evolving demands of life with clarity, resilience, grace, and ease.

 

Brandy currently lives in Utah and serves as the Director of The Ivy Standard Yoga Institute, a yoga school dedicated to the education and development of yoga teachers. ISYI offers both online programming and in-person trainings, retreats, seminars, and intensives throughout the year. Brandy can be found teaching at these events worldwide.
