I loved how you gave individual attention to all the ladies in the room, modifying the exercises for each of us depending on the need. The calm and peace I felt during the class was magical.” – Luna

“I’ve taken prenatal yoga classes with Bethany through both of my pregnancies and the hour I spend with her each week is something I not only look forward to, but also I feel like it is just the thing I need to keep me mentally and physically healthy!

“Bethany has been a wonderful instructor. She was very helpful during my pregnancy. She researched on my problems and complications that I had during the pregnancy and worked with me on the yoga poses, which really helped in having a vaginal delivery. She is a beautiful person inside out who wishes the best for her students.” – Hiral 

“I had the opportunity to attend Bethany's prenatal yoga class between weeks 14-39 of my second pregnancy. During my time in her classes, I felt supported by Bethany. She is a gem of a human; just exuding kindness and gentle guidance while leading her classes and after class ends. She helped me with my positioning since I have weird body pains, and after class we'd chat just like friends. I'm so glad I got to take her class. I'm so glad I got to know her in the process. I will always recommend Bethany to anyone who needs a kind presence and guide in their life, and specifically as a fantastic prenatal yoga teacher.”  – Erin

“We arrived at the hospital at 6:40pm & I was already 8cm dilated! That prodromal labor of the last 5 weeks coupled with the concern about road safety with the storm really confused my sense of when to head to the hospital...No time for drugs, just breathing through the contractions like you taught us in class…I do credit prenatal yoga for helping me not completely lose it & panic in the final moments. The nurses were super impressed with my breathing!” – Megan (delivered during a hurricane)

"I participated in Bethany's prenatal yoga classes when I was pregnant with my 3rd child. She customized our time based on how the moms were feeling and made sure to offer a variety of options based on the different stages we were in. I looked forward to her weekly class as a way to decompress, unwind and most importantly connect with my growing baby.  I left feeling physically strong, mentally healthy and spiritually ready to deliver my baby. The breathing techniques and poses she demonstrated helped me get through laboring without medication and de-stress postpartum. I would recommend her classes to any prenatal moms looking for a fun, uplifting, challenging class!" – Emily

“Bethany did a great job of ensuring that I was comfortable and safe during my prenatal yoga practice. She took into account any aches or pains that I was experiencing as she led the class. It was priceless to have that time every week to feel centered and to have help stretching my changing body. I would highly recommend Bethany to any pregnant woman interested in prenatal yoga.” – Jill (twin pregnancy)
