Bethany Dupree

Instructor

Open Doors Yoga - Canton

Meet Bethany! A 500-hr certified yoga instructor, 50-hr certified meditation instructor, and Reiki Master, Bethany is passionate about helping others find just the right alignment of body and mind. Bethany began her yoga journey with her first class in 2010, where she realized yoga was so much more than a workout, there was something about it that had significant meaning all while still getting a really good sweat, always her goal! After developing and building a personal practice for eight years, Bethany began teaching in 2018, and has created her own style based on pushing one’s own boundaries – encouraging students to develop strong foundations in breath and alignment from which one can expand and express each posture, finding the perfect balance of effort and ease, where you work hard (even in, and sometimes especially, in stillness) to always be able to find center. Bethany’s goal is to bring her students to a place where they feel confident in their own practice, be strong in their bodies and find ease in the mind - a place where they can access their truest, best version of themselves no matter the circumstances or surroundings. Bethany has developed two unique flows taught only at Open Doors, MELT and CORE, designed to challenge students in different ways while remaining true to the philosophy that breath and alignment are the foundation to a strong practice, and each person’s own personal expression within each posture naturally develops with dedication. Bethany encourages students to embrace the challenges of the practice. Comfort zones are only there to teach us where the boundaries are, so we know where to reach in order to grow.
