Instructor & Staff Information


Betsy Weiner Betsy has been practicing yoga since 1992 when she was introduced to a Mysore Ashtanga class. She met Jennifer Gray, owner of the Yoga Center when she moved back to Minneapolis from Los Angeles. Jennifer encouraged her on her path of yoga study and Betsy became certified to teach Ashtanga yoga from David Swenson in 2001. Since then she has been fortunate enough to have studied with many wonderful teachers including Richard Freeman, Larry Schultz, Kim Schwartz, Gurmukh, Ana Forrest, Tias Little, Doug Swenson, and Baron Baptiste. She wants to give special thanks to her first teacher, John Robb of the Yoga Shala and to her mentor, Jennifer Gray.
