Yoga Haven founder and director, Betsy Kase, RYT-500, C-IAYT, has been practicing yoga since 1991. She began her study of yoga at a time when her work and personal life were extremely stressful. Almost immediately, she found that a simple yoga practice unlocked a layer of peacefulness she had innately known existed but couldn't access, and was searching for since she was a teenager.

Over the years, Betsy has studied with many of the most accomplished teachers from many different lineages. She is a life long practitioner and learner, and continues to incorporate all of her insight into how and what she shares. Betsy embodies the experience that we are all on this path together.

With over 30 years of teaching experience she has witnessed yoga’s profound ability to reduce a student’s pain, on all levels - physical, psychological, and spiritual. With that experience, through her teaching of students and the training of yoga teachers she continues to find ways to help people transform from the inside toward a more peaceful, balanced, and healthy life. She provides educational opportunities for new teachers to have the tools to reach their beginning students as they start their own journey. She is able to bring this to life through Yoga Haven’s annual 200 hour teacher training program and the studio’s mission to provide space and programming on women’s health and wellness issues.
