Discover yoga designed for you

Bethania specializes in helping people who have the potential to do something great, but are held back because their energy and focus is on their pain, discomfort, or injury. She helps them heal so they can reach their full potential.

Bethania has worked for years to “see” bodies. This means she can help you identify biomechanical imbalances in your practice that affect your posture, exacerbate injuries and pain, and impede well-being. She uses this information to design yoga practices with personalized instruction to help you shift towards a more balanced place of ease.

Her years of studies in anatomy, biomechanics, and Ayurveda give her additional lenses through which to craft individualized practices that nourish and heal.

She is a problem solver. She is fascinated by a challenge and will work with you to optimize your well-being.

She will work with you to design a yoga practice that meets you where you are and takes you to your goals.

Private Client Profile

You and I will work together well if you are:

• an Athlete — from “in my last lifetime” to weekend warrior to elite performer — you are looking to improve flexibility, strength, cross train, and optimize your performance so you can reach your full potential. You want yoga that not only doesn’t hurt, but helps.
• a Top performer in your mind — Your strength is in the power of your brain. You are intelligent and creative. Whether it’s running a company, shifting the paradigms in your field, crafting the next great novel, teaching the next generation of leaders, or just keeping your household running smoothly you function at a high level. You want to balance all the work you do with your head and take care of your body. You recognize that your brain will work better if your body is strong, flexible, and pain-free and your mind is focused, calm, and clear. You want an instructor who respects who you are and the work you do and can design individualized, intelligent yoga sequences that support all the work your brain does. You want to reach your full potential. This is yoga for smart people.
• a Thinker — You think deeply about the things around you and make connections where others miss them. You are curious and creative. You want to know the why and how. You want a yoga teacher who sees beyond the standard formula. You want a teacher that is willing to dig deep and build a practice designed for you based on all these different connections. You want creative yoga that is sophisticated and deep.
• a Leader — You are smart and passionate and good at what you do. Your expect your peers to be excellent, educated, and current in their fields and would expect nothing less from your yoga teacher. You recognize great teaching. You want more than McYoga.
• believe anatomy and neuroscience are important — You see the value in working with your body’s biomechanics and physiology. You wish you had a better “mind-body” connection. You sense that if your body were more healthy and pain-free everything could be better. You want yoga that makes body AND mind feel great.
• against dharma bullshit — You understand that spirituality is important but you don’t need a yoga teacher spewing out new age nonsense. You feel uncomfortable when a yoga teacher starts sermonizing at the front of the room, promoting feel good mantras, and quoting gift cards. You have an authenticity meter that goes off when a teacher starts saying things that even they don’t believe. You don’t need proselytizing. You don’t need dharma bullshit.

You want your yoga teacher:

• to be experienced at helping students reach their goals
• to know their anatomy and neuroscience
• to be able to apply this scientific knowledge to yoga
• to have studied with the elite of yoga teachers and thus
• to be capable of integrating the best from yoga knowledge with research in neuroscience and anatomy
• to respect your intelligence, yet not make you feel like an idiot
• to actually teach yoga, not just call out pose names
• to design a practice specific to your individual circumstances
• to be top notch and dedicated to helping you

Students who will benefit from one-on-one work:

• Beginning yoga students — who have specific needs and want intelligent, compassionate guidance designed to sooth old injuries and prevent new ones.
• Current yoga students — who want to move past the plateau in their practice (or who just want to get into that pose or that technique). You want a yoga teacher who does more than just call out the next pose. You want your yoga teacher to know her anatomy and more importantly, how to apply that anatomy to get you to the next progression in your practice.
• Persons dealing with acute or chronic injuries — who want to use yoga to actually improve their situation, not to get injured further
• Persons dealing with acute or chronic pain or discomfort– who want to get out of pain, support their healing, improve their functioning
• Persons who have had concussions, head injury, or traumatic brain injury (from the most mild to severe)

• Persons who are stressed, tired, depleted — who want to relax and recharge
• Persons whose busy lives mean they don’t have time to waste on generic, ineffective practices. Maybe they want to:
