About Beth

Discovering Yoga: A Playful Beginning

Yoga has been a part of my life in some way, shape, or form since I was a kid. I first experienced yoga as a four-year-old watching Lilias Folan on TV—but it didn’t take, as my older brother would always sit on top of me in halasana (plow pose).

I found it again in high school as part of my phys-ed class. I was stressed out, recovering from an eating disorder, trying to find my way through teenage identity crises, and juggling a full load of classes and extracurricular activities. Yet, I loved practicing yoga—even if it was in a small storage closet filled with cones, hula hoops, and soccer balls. It didn’t matter where we were; it was the intention of practicing, breathing, and moving that meant so much to me.

It was a time of gentle movement, quiet reflection, and freedom from judgment or the need to prove myself. I was so grateful for that.

"Beth’s yoga classes have also been extremely beneficial to me as a time that is just for me. I leave everything that is going on in my life off of my mat and just focus on my body and my practice. It has been a great stress reliever!" — Elizabeth M

Yoga as a Respite in a Hectic Life

The third time, however, was the charm. I turned to yoga as a sanctuary amid a chaotic life—juggling an acting career filled with rehearsals, performances, auditions, paying work, married life, and more.

As I flowed from shape to shape, breath to breath, I realized the power of the practice in helping me find connection and peace within my body and mind. I found it easier to let go of tension and stress, balance the demands of my professional and personal life, and—very simply—just be myself.

The more I practiced, the more I felt at ease—a deep sense of peace taking root within me.

Building My Practice & Teaching

Through my studies at various yoga studios in New York City, I was inspired to develop my own home practice, which is where I teach from today. I love moving with my breath, exploring how the body can develop strength while maintaining a sense of flexibility and freedom. I also love the deepening awareness that the practice encourages.

"The body awareness I was able to cultivate during my private sessions with Beth has been lasting and profound, and the very foundation of my practice became so much stronger." — Emily L

Embracing Reiki as Another Path to Healing

As with yoga, Reiki came to me at a time when I needed support. I began with a self-care Reiki practice, but the simple beauty of breathing and sensitizing myself to others’ energies called to me to share this practice. I loved the idea that there was yet another way I could help people become more aware of their bodies and the energy within them.

"I came to Reiki because I was dealing with pain and discomfort in my body and was suffering from anxiety. While I only had a few sessions with Beth, I experienced a decrease in my physical discomfort and an overall sensation of increased wellness and calmness." — Susi B

My Purpose: Sharing Yoga & Reiki for Bliss

My deepest desire is to share these practices of yoga and Reiki so that you, too, can experience what it is like to be free of tension and stress—to realize your wholeness and perfection, to reconnect with the truest, best version of yourself.

That feeling—what I think of as BLISS—is the place where you feel free, quiet, and spacious, fully at ease in your body, mind, and heart. It is the place where you sense the fullness of life, where you see the path ahead clearly, without grasping or forcing.
