Betsy Woldeyohannes

Meaning 'my yoga' in the Ethiopian language Amharic, through Yene Yoga I provide individually tailored private and small group sessions in the comfort of clients' homes, larger group classes at both a shared wellness space and a studio, and sessions for clients and employees in care facilities and workplaces! My philosophy is one of accessibility, inclusivity, and cultural respect, and I therefore cultivate a holistic and socially relevant yoga practice. My primary training includes Baptiste style Vinyasa, Chair Yoga, the Yoga of 12-Step Recovery, and literary analysis and pedagogy, while my secondary training is composed of Restorative Yoga, Yin Yoga, prenatal yoga, and meditation. I am also Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED certified, am currently undergoing Relax and Renew Level 1 certification with Judith Lasater, and am registered for a Yoga Assisting Intensive workshop in May.
