Bethany Betzler

She started her career as a professional dancer, and found yoga at the age of 19 to balance the demands of a physically active career. During this time she also worked as a personal trainer. After 10 years, Bethany moved on from dance but continued to practice yoga on a regular basis. Bethany started running in her 30's, and pursued several trail races over the course of 5 years--from half-marathons to a 250km ultra-marathon that took her across the country of Mongolia for 7 days. In between, she ran races in Bhutan, India, Australia, and at home in Michigan. Through it all, yoga has been the constant go-to for Bethany to reset her body and find balance. After completing the Inspired Life 200 hour training at Yen (Traverse City) in 2024, she is most excited to help yoga students gain confidence in movement while finding their strength on and off the mat. Bethany maintains a dedicated meditation practice, and often weaves mindfulness principles into each class. When not at home in Traverse City, Bethany leads small-group adventures to remote places around the world--exploring nature, culture, & spirituality.
