"I have noticed a difference in many aspects
of my life since I have been practicing yoga under Bethany’s
guidance. The first change I gratefully noticed was the reduced and often
eliminated pain in my neck and shoulders when I practice regularly. I
became more flexible and could bend and move more easily. Then I started
feeling calmer and more at peace. I quickly began to practice daily
because of the positive physical and emotional feelings resulting from
yoga. I am able to do yoga now in a meditative state using my breath and
the asanas to take me from the stress of life to a serene state of mind
quickly. I am able to meditate more deeply which brings me in touch with
how I want to live my life rather than being strung along in the busyness of
life.
Other
Yoga classes seem more like exercise than the physical, mental and spiritual
experience it is with Bethany. Bethany became my yogi, teaching me about
the yoga philosophy. I learned about the chakra system and the link
between my emotions and the feelings in my body. Each asana is carefully
explained and monitored to ensure proper alignment to avoid injury. She
challenges me to new levels of difficulty. She also adjusts each practice
to where I am physically, mentally and emotionally at the time of my class.
Each class is different, yet I always feel energized, calm and at peace upon
its completion."

"One of the major changes
in my life since yoga with Bethany is that my lower back pain has diminished tremendously. I
used to live with constant back pain, and now I rarely feel any pain.
My posture has improved--I
have a straighter back and more relaxed shoulders. Also, I pay attention
to my body now; I observe how it is feeling. On yoga days, I tend to
be a lot more relaxed, especially after class.
I have taken classes with
two other instructors, and realize that Bethany is living Yoga, whereas
the other two instructors were there to run through poses. (There
is a huge difference between
those who love what they do, and those who are there to make a buck.) Bethany's attention to
her students, their correct postures, as well as their general well-being
was absent with these
other instructors. Had I had either of the two instructors as my
first experience with yoga,
I would not be practicing yoga today. The classes are perfect
for the middle of the workday. I enjoy the journey every time!

"Bethany has turned our Sunday mornings into delight. Dunya (4) & Egemen (7) wait for her in the morning with such excitement and anticipation. She has nourished our weekends with yoga, art, love, and compassion. We are so thankful!"
-Ebru from private kids yoga
"Bethany has lovely energy and a generous spirit. Her instructions are always so clear and helpful. I really enjoy the lavender massage at the end!"
-Jane, Social Worker from teacher staff yoga
"After
class I feel much calmer, I feel taller, and I feel good about myself.
During class, I feel more at peace about the stress I face in my
personal life. Yoga has helped me to remember that you should live for the present and enjoy each day rather
than always waiting and worrying about a future event that may or may not
happen. I
went to another yoga class at a the gym I am a member of and the instructor
never came around the class to correct, posture, etc. Bethany spends
time with each member of the class making sure
posture is correct and if we are doing a stretch, making sure you're getting
the deepest stretch you can get."

"I find myself not wanting class to end! Bethany helps me push beyond the perceived boundaries."
-Sherri, high school teacher from teacher staff yoga
"After class, I definitely
feel like some kind of positive energy has been released throughout my
body and I just feel "lighter." It has really helped to
relieve a lot of tension in my back and neck. The only other classes
I've taken were at a gym and those were miserable...I was
just waiting for it to be over the whole time. But with Bethany's classes, I
really enjoy them and never even pay attention to the time!"-Sherin from private one-to-one yoga
"I feel incredibly safe and in good hands. She is very careful, intuitive, and thoughtful."-Lisa Markley, singer/songwriter from private one-to-one low back care yoga
"I absolutely love yoga with Bethany! I always feel so relaxed and calm after class, something I really need since work as an interior designer keeps me really busy. Much of my body pain & aches have also diminished. It's been a great way to bond with my husband and close friends. It's so nice to have yoga come to us for a change- all we have to do is walk downstairs!"
