Bryonie Wise is an artist, heart alchemist and daughter of nature—her life is rooted in the belief that when we come from a place of love, everything is possible.

Her own practice of living has taught her how essential movement, breath, creative expression and practiced integration are for our ability to support our tender hearts.

When not teaching yoga or creating her heart to the bone, you can find Bryonie adventuring in the wild with her camera and her rescue doggo, Winston, living her yoga.

“Sometimes,
I doubt the courage
My bones are made of

And then,
A breath finds her way in
And her way out

The half-way-almost-full moon
Smiles down;

My heart sighs
And quietly whispers:
I remember.”
Bryonie Wise, HEART ROAR: A Book of Tiny Prayers

“I hereby break all contracts I made unconsciously & consciously before I knew the depth of my own Spirit; the silent ones, the ones I inherited, passed down & accepted as my own from generation to generation.

I hereby severe all ties with that which holds me down & back, unable to see the glimmer of what I know to be true, whether by my own creation or by expectations tied like weights around my ankles by others lost in the sea of their own confused hearts.

I hereby reclaim my right to choose how my story unfolds, armed with creativity, a heart made of gold & reverent humility.

I hereby fully accept all of this living & what-is-yet-to-come with brash integrity & loving determination.

I hereby swear to use my superpowers for the love of all beings & I return anything that no longer serves my Higher & Lower Self (& the ones Caught-in-Between) with gratitude & consciousness.

I do this all with love, from the great source of it found in my very own beating heart.”
Bryonie Wise

“And then,
There was a love
Shining so bright,
That even the darkest part
Of our hearts
Felt the warmth”
Bryonie Wise, HEART ROAR: A Book of Tiny Prayers

“In this space,

We do raw
We do loud hearts
& truthful art

We do open arms
& unfettered forgiveness

We do real
We do vulnerable
We do wild

In this space,
We do love

In all the shapes
& forms
That we come in

We do love”
Bryonie Wise

“Just because the ones we love die (or fall out of our lives or disappear from the spinning of our spheres) does not mean we love them any less or erase them from the deeply etched lines of the maps we have traveled.

We find ways to keep them alive in spirit, with the brutal knowing that they are gone in body.

We can remember; we can feel & this can all be grief & it can all be love, too.”
Bryonie Wise

“I wanted
to write you a love poem

But my heart
feels out of tune

So I coax my breath
into the darkness
of my rib cage
And invite it to fan open

Maybe I would say
something like,

"One day,
I would like to
fall in love with you,"

And here I pause
while the tears
that have been threatening
to rain down all day
swell high in my chest,
blurring my vision

"One day,
I would like to
fall in love with you,"

I will start writing again, & continue,

"wherever you are,
whoever you are,
but in this moment,
I will fall in love with me."

My brow furls
ever so slightly,
because that is not
what I expected to say

I pause again
& allow the container to soften,
for the edges to get blurry

And the tears,
one by one spill over
And all the holding
of the day crumples away
And I am me again
& you are you again,

too”
Bryonie Wise

“choose your words well
(be honest, be true)
but
above all else,
be kind”
Bryonie Wise, HEART ROAR: A Book of Tiny Prayers

“And then,
There was a love
Shining so bright,
That even the darkest part
Of our hearts
Felt the warmth”
