Candlelight Restorative Yoga Workshop / Bethany Wallace

This blissful practice begins with a guided Meditation followed by a fluid blend of Restorative and Gentle Yoga poses. Bethany will lead you through a calming yoga sequence done almost entirely in a reclined position – laying on the back, belly, or side. Each pose is completely supported through the use of blankets and bolsters – allowing you to receive the maximum benefit of the posture, without any strain or discomfort. These fully relaxed and restful poses are held for 5-15 minutes at a time – encouraging a state of tranquility, while gently stimulating your muscles, organs, and parasympathetic nervous system.

Please arrive 15 minutes early in order to provide time for gathering your props and getting settled.

$30, registration required

Bethany Wallace was first introduced to yoga in 2004 while studying dance at The University of Colorado. She found that yoga helped ease the aches and pains of her dancer body and provided a quiet space in her hectic schedule. After only a few classes, she knew she had to share her love of yoga through teaching. Soon after, she began studying under the instruction of Barbara Ruzansky at West Hartford Yoga, where she completed her 200-hour yoga teacher certification in 2010. In the years since, Bethany has become a certified Prenatal Yoga Teacher, Restorative Yoga Teacher, and in 2017 graduated from the Connecticut Center for Massage Therapy to become a Licensed Massage Therapist.

For 10 years she was an owner/operator of Bloom Yoga Fitness Studios alongside her mother and sister, Julie and Morgan Wallace. During her time at Bloom she developed several workshops and training programs including a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training and a Restorative Yoga Teacher Training. Bethany is best known for her creative sequencing, lighthearted playlists, and soothing presence. She is a teacher’s teacher and absolutely loves sharing her knowledge and passion for yoga and anatomy through her trainings and classes.
