In twelve years of practicing yoga, bev is increasingly amazed at how simply yoga can achieve powerful results.  Her personal experience with the therapeutic benefits of yoga drove her to build the experience and credentials that now enable her to share these benefits with others.  Her 25 year corporate career and decades of extreme sporting enhance her connection with the emotional and physical challenges faced by others. 


The uniquely client-driven approach of Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy and bev’s work-team coaching background combine to offer a subtle (“servant”) leadership style of engagement with clients — facilitating safe, supportive, non-judgmental space within which to explore mind-body awareness and meeting clients wherever they are in the moment.

Bev’s goal is to share the benefits of yoga with others in the broadest sense possible.  She practices Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy and teaches Iyengar-style Hatha yoga in both group classes and one-on-one.  She also offers yoga-like stress management tools and techniques in non-yogic terms for use in more traditional populations, such as corporate, church and medical communities.


Bev lives on her 2-acre farm near the north end of Richmond with her husband, Steve, and their four lovingly rescued mutts — Annie, Bailey, Carly and Diva.

Bev is a Yoga Alliance certified advanced yoga instructor and is certified in Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy as practitioner, yoga teacher and group facilitator.  She has 25 years of corporate experience, including managing stress.
