Russell Brand is
studying to become a Yoga teacher.
A source says, ''His teacher at Goldenbridge Yoga is in
charge of teacher training at the center and has encouraged Russ to take the
course. He decided to give it a go. Once he's finished his course next Spring,
he'll set up his own studio in
Los Angeles. He has this idea of an all-giving
studio where teachers work for their own fulfillment and those in need such as
the homeless and addicts in need of finding their spiritual soul. He wants to
create his own mantra and take his teachings round the world like other ­renowned
teachers he's learned from in the past. It's all part of his dream of building
his own community and he would like to offer fre­e classes to those in need. It
would also include meditation, cooking classes, lectures and aromatherapy
classes.''
