ABOUT
My name is Bret Batman. I bridge worlds. With three decades of experience guiding technical innovation in aerospace, defense, and IT, I now focus on consciousness evolution and transformative leadership. My journey from Cahokia’s hard ground to creating spaces of transformation informs everything I do. As founder of Hārdasāthī-Yoga, I create places where ancient wisdom meets emerging technology, where healing meets growth, where resilience becomes strength.
My path weaves together:
- Master of Law (Christian-Albrechts-Universität Kiel)
- Master of Arts in Teaching (UNC Charlotte)
- Professional Coach Certication (George Mason University)
- RYT 500 Yoga Teacher Training (lineage of Tirumalai Krishnamacharya)
- Certied in Resilience Training and Yoga for Recovery
- Experience teaching in diverse settings from prison to corporation
Currently serving as IT Learning + Development Specialist, I facilitate transformation across cultural and organizational boundaries. My work spans from guiding technical teams through critical transitions to creating sacred spaces for men’s evolutionary practice. Deep experience in transformative guidance, spanning thousands of hours of yoga instruction and professional coaching across cultural boundaries.
My practice grows from real ground – from work, from healing, from transformation lived, not just learned.
