Brian Serven began his ever-deepening relationship with yoga in 2008, as a counterweight to the intensity of studying martial arts. Concepts such as self-reliance, non-violence, clarity and discipline were found to harmonize between the disciplines and validated the belief of common roots. In 2020, Brian, his wife Michelle, pup Cubert and cats; Baroness and Doom, left the northeast and moved cross-country to southern California, where they enjoy cycling, astronomy and vegan cuisine.
