Yoga with Beal in Ithaca, NY

Yoga is a mind-body practice rooted in ancient Indian philosophy. Yoga in Sanskrit is derived from the root word yuj, meaning to yoke, join, or unite. Thus, yoga can be understood as the practice and process of joining: the breath and the body, the bodily and the spiritual, our consciousness and the living moment at play.

Yoga is not a religion; it is not a system of beliefs but a system of disciplines, techniques, and guidances for living an enriched and embodied life, offered today with reverence for its five-thousand-year history.

Through practice, yoga offers the potential removal of the barriers that exist between us and the experience of being fully alive, fully present, and fully ourselves.

Yes. I completed my 200-hour yoga teacher training with Yoga Farm Ithaca in 2023.

No matter your experience with yoga, you're welcome here. Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or new to the practice, anyone can experience the benefits of practicing with me.

My cues will support your stability, alignment, and relaxation so you can enjoy the experience of simply being in your body. The poses will include variations for all bodies and abilities.

You can also expect the freedom to explore each pose as it feels best to you, the freedom to honor your mental and emotional states, and the freedom to be exactly as you are in each moment.

Anyone wishing to explore their body-mind connection, receive nourishment through embodied movement, and explore with curiosity and a beginner’s mind is welcome in my yoga classes.

Yes! I offer 1:1 private classes and am available for private groups, including workplaces, bridal parties, and retreats.

I'd be honored to discuss helping you deepen your practice through individualized instruction and guidance.

Practicing yoga online can be a very rewarding experience. It allows students flexibility in their location (like reserving a meeting room in your office for a mid-day class!) and additional privacy and safety. If you often find yourself comparing yourself to others, then practicing online can be a freeing and independent experience.

However, there is a balance. It can sometimes be "easier" to be distracted when taking a class online. I recommend placing your devices on Do Not Disturb and really focusing on our time together.

Students will be muted on Zoom. You are welcome to practice with your camera on or off. You will never be singled out for alignment or feedback about your pose.

My class prices honor the exchange of energy and time I spend preparing for class, and the energy that students receive and cultivate in practice with me. However, capitalism removes nuance from the complicated conversation about privilege, access, and value.

I encourage you to explore the Green Bottle Sliding Scale by Alexis J. Cunningfolk as a money mindfulness practice. If you experience economic circumstances that prevent you from taking part in my classes, please contact me for financial flexibility rates.
