ABOUT US

I have been practicing yoga since 2005. I came to yoga after I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. In 2017, I joined a local 200 hour teacher training, and quickly followed with a 500 hour teacher training in Corvallis. I have been teaching yoga ever since. Teaching has always been a part of my life - I taught Kindergarten for 29 years - and I plan to continue sharing this beautiful practice for many years to come. 

E-RYT 500 and Svadharma School of Yoga Primary Director Beth Williams has been practicing yoga since the age of 7, when her mother taught her how to meditate and practice asanas. 

Beth’s love and passion for life is evident in her teaching. She combines her knowledge of Yoga philosophy, alignment principles and multiple styles of yoga to create a beautiful and enlivening yoga experience. She specializes in yoga with therapeutic elements and yoga for those with scoliosis, combining yoga and functional weight training. She also specializes in working with those that have hypermobility, teaching them how to find mid range in their yoga practice and strengthening with closed chain exercises and weights.

Hi! I’ve been practicing yoga for about 25 years. In 2022 I completed a 200-hour yoga teacher training at the wonderful Shoshoni Yoga Retreat in Colorado, and I was pleasantly surprised to learn that I actually enjoyed teaching! I like to create well-rounded classes that include a nice mix of poses and leave you feeling better than when you arrived.

RYT 500. She had only studied yoga for a short time when it became clear to her that yoga should be a joyful, healing and fun experience.  Her practice is an exploration of your heart and soul encouraging self healing throughout your lifetime.  Her hope is to empower you to express the best version of yourself. Gabrielle has taught yoga in Lincoln County and beyond for over 10 years. 

Hi! I’m a Foundation Training, Breathwork, and Yoga teacher based in beautiful Newport. I moved here over 20 years ago to follow my passion for surfing, and have never looked back. My background in education includes a Master’s degree and 15 fulfilling years as a teacher, during which I shared my love for yoga and mindfulness, both in and out of the classroom. I’m currently expanding my knowledge through a 300 hour yoga teacher training and breathwork facilitation program. 

​

I have been a 200hr certified yoga teacher for 6 years. Over the course of that time I have worked with high school athletic teams, been certified in and taught Yoga Calm kids yoga, completed an 8hr certificate program in Yin Yoga, and taught a variety of yoga classes in both studios and fitness centers. In addition, I volunteered to teach yoga in a juvenile hall setting for a year before the pandemic.

My yoga journey began decades ago in a studio in NYC, and I am still as passionate today as I was then. Through my own personal experience as a student and teacher, I believe yoga is a lifelong journey and a fountain of youth available to everyone. I am dedicated to continuous growth in all areas of teaching and personal practice.”
