Brian Granader ERYT 500Owner Red Lotus YogaDirector of the Red Lotus School of YogaHusband, Father, Yoga TeacherMy first yoga class came during a time in my life when I was working seven days a week as a residential Realtor. I was in the top 1% of all Realtors in the Century 21 System and in the top 1.5% of the Realtors locally.I was helping a lot of people purchase and sell homes and felt like I was killing myself without knowing how to stop.After practicing yoga for about a year, I took a teacher training program to deepen my practice and knowledge.I enjoyed it so much I began teaching part time and selling real estate full time.One day I asked myself, “If I had only six months left to live would I rather be a Realtor or a Yoga instructor?”That day I decided to teach yoga full time and transition out of real estate....I never looked back!I have owned Red Lotus Yoga since 2003 and have been leading teacher training programs since 2007.My wife, Kate, and I run Red Lotus Yoga while caring for our daughter born in 2010.We have a full life and if I asked myself today, the same question I asked in 2002, my answer is still, to be a Yoga Teacher...and I’d add husband and father too:)
