Brooke Murray is a movement instructor specializing in yoga and classical pilates in the Hudson Valley. She currently teaches at Julia Jayne Pilates in Kinderhook, Body Architecture in Claverack, the Claverack Free Library, and The Pilates Center in Rhinebeck. Her passion for movement began at a very young age, watching her mom teach aerobics and fitness classes. Brooke then started dance lessons, and in 2006 earned her BFA for Dance Performance at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, TX. Shortly after graduation, she began teaching dance classes and found her way into yoga which she absolutely loved and eventually became a certified yoga teacher.

Today, her vinyasa yoga classes primarily focus on breath, building strength through correct postural alignment, and most importantly, celebrating the ability to move and tune in to the body and mind. With 14+ years of teaching yoga and being a committed student herself, very eager to learn more, Brooke recently completed her 500 hour pilates teacher training program with Juliet Harvey at Beacon Pilates. She teaches group classes, private and semi private sessions for both yoga and pilates. Brooke is super excited to be offering a weekly yoga class at the Columbia Golf & Country Club this summer. Please join her on Tuesdays at 10:30am for a dynamic yoga flow and restorative class, suitable for all levels of experience. She’ll be sure you have fun and will offer modifications and a flow that will leave you feeling stretched, restored and ready for a great day!
