Glenn Brown is the 2018 National Yoga Champion & a Master of Xingyiquan Kung-fu. He began practicing Yoga & Kung-fu in 1997. Part of his reasoning for picking up these arts was from falling into depression in high school, and through counseling realizing art was the most useful therapy for him. He switched from school sports ( swimming & wrestling ) to the arts of Yoga & Kung-fu. He also focused on drawing, and poetry as outlets & therapy. After not finding the right Martial Arts school for a few years he met his Kung-fu teacher, Master Bu Hong aka Keith Dwan, in 2001. The next year he went to his first Hot Yoga class, which Ayanna was teaching. So, Ayanna & Glenn met at her Yoga class, and 6 moths later he went to the original Hot Yoga Training, and just over a year after they met they got married. Together they have takin part in every year of the Yoga Championship. In 2023, Master Bu Hong, visited from England to pass down the Bu family Xingyiquan to Glenn. He became the 11th Master of the lineage, and was given his Kung-fu name, Dwan Brown. Since beginning his Kung-fu & Yoga journey Glenn developed what became a new style of Yoga, Lionflow Yoga, as a way to warm up for Kung-fu, and has been teaching this style for over 20 years. He also developed the curriculum & taught Yoga & Kung-fu classes at the college, I.U.S, for 10 years. For these classes he taught about many yoga styles, and developed class structures for Restorative, Hatha, Classical Hatha, Yin, Yin & yang, and Vinyasa, to teach along with the Hot Yoga, Lionflow Yoga, and Classic 84. Because of his diverse experience, students will learn new details & tricks to help them develop their yoga practice whether they take his Yoga, Tai Chi, or Kung-fu classes. In his classes you will learn about moving, and practicing with intention in such a way your whole practice becomes a dance of self expression.
