About Brooke... your Guide

BA, c-IAYT, e-RYT500 is a yoga therapist, Tantric Herbalist, writer, retreat leader, practitioner and educator of the Science and Philosophy of Sri Vidya Tantra. She is the director of The Wild Temple School of Yoga + Herbal Wisdom and lead teacher of The Sage Apprenticeship.

An initiate of the Himalayan Sages, her passion is to empower and to embody the sacred in all aspects of life and her mission is to empower people… sometimes even, radically… to step into their highest, healthiest most powerful selves.

Brooke’s dedication to yoga and the healing arts has been cultivated with almost 20 years of experience in yoga, Ayurveda, herbalism, vitalism, vibrational healing (flower essences, homeopathy, Tibetan Energy Healing) and holistic woman care as well as cultivating the art of self care while traveling internationally.

She has a deep and driving desire to understand and connect to the beauty and joy in all life and in all people while being inspired and inspiring others in  the mystical wisdom traditions that light all hearts.

- J. Dyer, Nevada City, CA

“The Wild Temple is a shining gem in a small town - a community of like-minded, wholesome people who are looking to make deep connections.

The Wild Temple School has brought me the knowledge to walk the earth with confidence and self-awareness. One of the main focuses of these rich teachings is “sukham and sthira,” or steadiness and ease. I have come to know that having these attributes as teacher will bring your students closer to comfort.

The Wild Temple School has given me a solid foundation to share my knowledge of yoga with others. It has given me the confidence to teach, and the awareness to guide others deeper.

I highly recommend all of the programs this school has to offer. And the director, Brooke Sullivan, illuminates every person she comes into contact with. She will give you a window into the infinite depths of your mind, body and soul.”

- Xenja G.R. California/Switzerland

The Wild Temple School of Yoga and Herbal Wisdom has been a life changing experience for me as a woman and a mother in this modern world, and an aspiring therapist.

TWT training gave language to what I have been experiencing without knowing how to formulate. Brooke's teaching style draws from purist tradition, and translates ancient wisdom into modern day applicable tools and practices, which makes it highly effective. 

The Wild Temple Community has given a home to many seekers of a practice grounded in real life, real human experience. I am forever grateful to have found my yoga teacher, whom I consider a friend and family member now, and whom I hold profound respect and admiration for. 

I am sure I will still be calling up Brooke years from now with specific questions regarding yoga therapy, for, though not labeled as such, that is what TWT truly transmits: Yoga as a healing art.

- C. Craft, Nevada City, CA

“Brooke and The Wild Temple School have given me an anchor into the world that I have been seeking all my life.

The teachings that Brooke shares in all aspects of Yoga, Ayurveda, and Herbalism are rich in the nectar of ancient wisdom and truth, providing a sacred container for the ultimate transformation of self.

This beautiful co-creative haven of learning has given me a guiding light on the path of understanding how I walk and express my creative individuality in the world and in my community as well as the tools to walk in alignment with my highest self.”

- K. Rose, Santa Rosa, CA

"I am incredibly grateful to have found Wild Temple Yoga, having seen it intertwine with my own talents and schooling, into a usable form. 

Before I started studying with Brooke, I did not know how to keep all my tools and skills in the 'same toolbox'. This schooling has taught me a beautiful weaving of all my gifts to offer in service to the world. 

The Deep and profound knowledge I have gained from Brooke has changed my life. The way that she delivers this ancient wisdom of tantra and yoga wrapped and intertwined with herbal and plant knowledge - it is a beautiful delivery with her unique flair."
