As Colorado Springs' only certified Structural Yoga™ Therapist, Beth works with clients who have structural imbalances, injuries, emotional traumas and chronic health challenges by sharing ways to use Yoga to heal. She guides and mentors clients who are experiencing pain in their lives to develop self-inquiry, sensitivity and discernment skills so they can begin to understand the root cause of their pain and imbalances. Her private Yoga Therapy practice is located in the Briargate community.

As a teacher, Beth is a creative and compassionate spirit who finds joy in weaving therapeutic themes into the classroom by using music, metaphor, breath, mindfulness training, relaxation methods and movement explorations.

"The practice of Yoga changes us. When practicing yoga, we become more aware of our internal world. We begin to notice imbalances and habits that have been causing us pain, tension and stress. Through this knowing, a dedication and strong desire to break free from our pain emerges like a seed taking sprout. Yoga provides the perfect pathway to transform, blossom and thrive".
