A few testimonials from students
“There are three things I especially love about yoga with Betsi: 1). Her open warm energy — welcoming everyone and including everyone; 2). The rhythm of our practice: moving from gentle stretches through more active yoga postures and back to floor stretches before savasana; & 3). The way Betsi guides us through the practice, gently reminding us of where our weight should be, how to position our feet, our torso, our arms. — A friend who is a PT said: ‘no yoga teacher has every provided the kind of specific guidance Betsi does. I feel so much better now!’ - Me, too. After every practice!”
“Betsi's gentle, mindful approach to yoga can be appreciated on many different levels. A class with Betsi leaves you calm and centered, yet energized in a positive way, ready to face whatever the day has to offer.”
“Mindful Yoga Durham is the perfect name for Betsi's practice, as she is mindful as to the needs of her individual students while teaching them how to be mindful of their own needs. Her thoughtful, skillful approach to yoga combines stretching, body awareness, breathing and meditation for a full body experience. Betsi provides clear direction as she demonstrates every move and includes adaptations for students at various levels of practice. She changes the routines each session to prevent students from mindlessly going through a routine. Betsi truly cares about her students and their experiences in her classes.”
“What I truly appreciate about her class is the combination of mindfulness and breathing and a yoga practice that you can mold to your own needs without worrying whether you look like anyone else.”
“Betsi is not only a dedicated, highly experienced, and professional yoga teacher, she is an inspiration. Her passion for yoga and sharing it with others is evident in how she teaches and who she is. Warm and always welcoming, she is genuinely interested in her students as individuals and gently, patiently guides each according to their own pace. She is fully invested in the moment and as such she serves as a lovely role model for the practice of yoga and how to incorporate it into our lives.”
