"Why bother striving to be perfect, when you can be human?" - Alan Clements
Brian Scrivener practices a multi-faceted
approach to therapeutic yoga, constitutional
homeopathy and manual therapy at Hands On
Health. Brian is a Certified Phoenix Rising Yoga
Therapy Practitioner, having completed training in
yoga philosophy, visual-intuitive assessment of the
energetic aspects of soul embodied and the
powerful use of specifically selected, assisted and
sustained asanas for releasing physical and emotional
blocks from the body. His professional training
includes homeopathy with Louis Klein, craniosacral
therapy with Upledger, Reiki with Allice Bernards,
healing chi gong with Master Peng Jiu-Liu, and other
subtle manual-energy techniques. Trained in the
Iyengar yoga method in the 1980s in Vancouver, he
took his teacher training with Iyengar national
certification assessor Richard Schachtel in Seattle. He
has been inspired by workshops with such yoga
luminaries as Angela Farmer and Dona Holleman. He is
a member of the International Association of Yoga
Therapists. His first inkling of the fusion of spirit with
movement in the physical body came while studying
contemporary dance with Synergy, led by Linda
Rubin, at the Western Front Lodge in Vancouver
during the mid-1970s. Brian also has three decades'
experience as a book editor, is former Editorial
Director at Raincoast Books (the folks who bring you

two books. He has taught writing and
communication at Canadian universities, and in
workshops.
