Instructors

アメリカ生まれ、フロリダ州出身。
セントラルフロリダ大学卒。卒業後、英語教師として2014年に来日。初めて訪れた東京での生活に戸惑うなか、世界のどこにいても変わらず続けられるヨガプラクティスの大切さに改めて気付かされ、2015年にタイのパンガン島でアシュタンガヨガの指導者養成講座（RYT200)を修了。英語教師をつづける傍ら、ヨガインストラクターの道を歩み始める。

呼吸と動作を連動させるヴィンヤサフローを通して、強さとしなやかさ、美しさを引き出すことができる、との思いから、生徒が楽しく新しいポーズや感覚にチャレンジできるようなクリエイティブなヴィンヤサフローのヨガクラスを教えている。現在は、東京、中野で自主開催するヨガクラスの他、Nami ヨガスタジオ、Sun & Moon ヨガスタジオなど都内のヨガスタジオでクラスを担当している。出逢った人に笑顔をもたらし、ポジティブなヨガの種を蒔いていきたいと考えている。


She is currently living her dream of living abroad and experiencing a culture completely different to her own. In 2014, Betia moved to Tokyo in hopes of sharing her passions and connecting people through English teaching. Her professor Dr. Folse from the University of Central Florida inspired her to come to Asia. So with an open mind and heart she followed her dreams to teach abroad and chose Tokyo to be her first stop. Betia found life challenging in the largest city in the world, especially not knowing the language. She found comfort through yoga which led her to pursuing a career as a yoga instructor. Betia felt the power of yoga and how it can change peoples’ lives for the better. She was determined to connect with locals in Tokyo, and most importantly to share her passion with everyone. In 2015, Betia received her RYT 200hr in Ashtanga Yoga in Koh Phangan, Thailand.

Betia teaches fun, creative and challenging vinyasa flow classes. She believes that through vinyasa flows one can express themselves artistically, and ultimately find their inner strength and beauty. She helps each individual discover the best version of themselves. She currently teaches her own classes in Nakano and Nami Yoga Studio. She also occasionally teaches at Sun and Moon.
