Bette found yoga during college to deal with the stresses of working full-time and being a full-time student. After being diagnosed with epilepsy, yoga became an even bigger part of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Yoga supported Bette’s mental health by helping reduce stress and allowing her to sleep better. After 10 years of practicing yoga, Bette followed the call to dive deeper: She earned her 200-hour teaching certification from White Crow Yoga in Nashville in 2015. In 2017, she completed her Blooma Prenatal Yoga teaching certification after falling in love with the practice while pregnant with her son. Bette’s teaching includes vinyasa yoga, prenatal yoga, and restorative yoga. She’s honored to share yoga with others through her teaching, and she’s passionate about continuing her personal practice and yoga education. She also loves hiking, biking, music festivals, and traveling with her family.

Kim first developed a love for yoga while doing the hard work of improving her health while still pursuing self-love. It was the first time she found herself moving her body for the enjoyment of it instead of a feeling of punishment. A long time “birth-junkie” and heart holder for motherhood, parenting, and self-care led her to pursue her certification in Prenatal Yoga with Nurture. Kim wears her heart on her sleeve and is passionate about building a community of confident birthers & new parents that is free of judgment & competition. She’s a loving mother to her son, Felix, and twins Luna and Arlo, and wife to her husband, Tim.

Rachel brings a gentle energy to leading yoga classes that empower on and off the mat. She blends detailed knowledge of the body with a playful spirit. Rachel found her love for yoga in 2014 at a Bikram studio in Tampa, FL. She earned her 200-hour yoga teaching certification with Kodawari Studios in Tampa, and completed her pre/postnatal yoga teacher training with Nurture Nashville Yoga. Rachel completed her Occupational Therapy Doctoral Program at Belmont University in 2023; she graduated from Furman University in Greenville, SC, in 2019. Rachel is drawn to the physicality, playfulness, and spiritual connection that yoga brings. She teaches with Small World Yoga, and has led classes at Room in the Inn, the Martha O’Bryan Center, and Belmont. Rachel feels called to care for individuals journeying through pregnancy, to adapt postures and flows in order to increase the accessibility of yoga to all, and to promote the power of engaging in meaningful activity in a community of empowerment.
