WHO I AM
A Mother, an Entrepreneur, a Business Owner and a Teacher. I've been teaching yoga full-time for 14 years, building two thriving yoga companies, Bendy Brewski Yoga and Tapas Yoga.
I am a Lululemon Legacy Ambassador; and featured or noted in many publications, including The New York Times, Women's Health, and Charleston Magazine for my innovative approach to community building and Yoga. With Mentorship in Tensegrity Medicine and Level 1 Clinical Somatic Exercise Certification, my expertise in gentle, Whole system wellness has come full-circle. With a plethora of training, years of experience and a deep commitment to Self awareness, it is my passion to curate safe, supportive environments for all levels of students to explore, learn and live pain free.
WHAT I DO
Dedicated to helping people cultivate a deeper connection to themselves and reclaim their vitality, I specialize in restorative practices, Clinical Somatic Movement, and slow flow Yoga with an emphasis on stability, and Yin Yoga. I have Big Mother presence, am a lifelong learner with slight obsession for anatomy, fascia and nervous system science- all of which guide my teaching. My classes are designed to help foster a sense of self-awareness and to help bring balance to the mind, body and spirit. I accept private and corporate clients three days a week; curate and lead five travel-retreats a year; and support students from coast to coast with our online studio, Dwell. Won't you join me for a transformational session soon?

FAQ
Somatics is a movement therapy that involves becoming aware of the sensations and movements within your body. Instead of focusing on the exterior shape of poses, it emphasizes the internal experience and the mind-body connection. By incorporating somatic practices into your yoga practice, you can deepen your understanding of your body's movements, release tension and stress, and cultivate greater relaxation and ease. Beth Cosi Yoga offers somatic yoga classes to help students develop a more embodied and sustainable yoga practice.
What is Somatics and how does it benefit my yoga practice
Beth Cosi Yoga places a strong emphasis on Somatic Movement practices as part of their teaching approach, which involves using gentle and mindful movements to increase awareness of bodily sensations and improve movement patterns. This method can be particularly helpful for those dealing with chronic pain or injuries, as well as those looking to deepen their mind-body connection. At Beth Cosi Yoga, every body type is welcomed and supported through modifications and variations offered in each class. The studio's commitment to inclusivity and accessibility ensures that everyone can benefit from the transformative power of yoga.
What makes Beth Cosi Yoga's approach unique
What is the approach of Beth Cosi Yoga to Clinical Somatic Exercise?
Beth Cosi Yoga believes that Clinical Somatic Exercise is a powerful tool to help clients achieve greater physical ease and mobility. The approach is based on the idea that physical pain and limitations are often due to chronic muscular tension in the body. By re-educating the nervous system and releasing tension, clients can experience improved movement, reduced pain, and increased body awareness. Beth Cosi Yoga incorporates this approach into her yoga classes and private sessions to help clients develop a greater sense of self-awareness and empower them in their own healing process. Beth Cosi Yoga's approach also emphasizes the mind-body connection, and clients are encouraged to approach their practice with an open and curious mindset. Clinical Somatic Exercise is suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels, including those recovering from injury or dealing with chronic pain or stress.

What type of yoga classes does Beth Cosi Yoga offer?
Do a little bit of research, especially if you are brand new to Yoga and/or are new to a community. Here are my suggestions to find your "perfect-fit" Yoga instructor.
1- Read his/her bio and look through her website. Does the "story" appeal to you? What is the personality of the teacher as demonstrated on her website?
2- How long have they been teaching (not just "practicing") and what trainings / certifications do they have? It only matters if it resonates with what YOU want out of your practice..where you are NOW.
3- Location- where does she teach? Accessibility is KEY to creating a consistent practice.
4- Is there a way to communicate with the teacher; ask questions; tell a little about what you're looking for? This is a clear sign of dedication and caring for students, even if it's just a chat box that gets ANSWERED.
5- Student reviews- on the website, Google and Yelp. What are students saying and WHO are her students? Can you relate?
And finally, and most importantly,
6- TAKE a FEW classes from him/her, at least 3.
