As a practicing dental hygienist of nearly 20 years, BeTrice first came to yoga as a way to combat the physical stress her career had on her body.  What she learned is that yoga became a way to relax the tension on her body and her mind, and quickly became a constant.  In a day and age where being busy is considered a badge of honor, yoga has helped her reclaim the calm of life. BeTrice’s philosophy is that yoga is accessible to all and it is her goal to help foster the calm in other’s life through yoga postures, breathwork, and guided relaxation.
