Getting to Know Us: A Blog Series (Becky)

Known around here for her thoughtful, creative flows, brilliant use of props, and the way she serenades us with sound in her classes, you’d be surprised at the way her yoga teaching career began!

In her late teens, Becky became interested in all things fitness. Back in those days, step aerobics was THE THING (the OG steps were even made of WOOD, she tells us!). She took step and other fitness classes at the local Fitness World Health Club, and when they added yoga to the schedule, Becky tried that class too.

“My form was good and I guess they needed a warm body to teach. Fast forward 34 years and I’m still “sharing.” I use the word sharing because that’s really my POV. Although I am now certified to teach yoga (she was a member of our OG Yoga Teacher Training in 2020), I really see it as sharing what I’ve earned and learned.”

With an eclectic taste for all styles of yoga (she can teach them all and you’ll often find her as a student in Ashtanga, barre, Vin + Yin and Yoga 2), her gifts really shine when she’s leading the flowing movements of a Vinyasa class. The gentle melodies of sound instruments mark the beginning and end of her classes, creating a sacred space where students can dive deep into their practice. Her generous use of props guides students into their postures with grace and ease, unlocking new dimensions of awareness and alignment. Her voice lulls us to rest at the end of practice.

“Yoga never gets old. There is always a new experience in how it feels even when it’s a pose you’ve done a million times.”

Becky leads yoga 1 classes at both Jax locations and still teaches at Fitness World where she got her start! She chooses to teach at Jax because she says, I love the physical space at both locations. It is an amazing thing to lead class in a space where the owner, fellow instructors and students have complete trust and support for your passion.”

Becky’s ultimate goal is simple yet profound - to leave her students with an experience that resonates long after they roll up their mats, a memory imprinted not just on their bodies but on their souls. “I want my students to leave my class with an experience they can revisit both emotionally and physically.”
