Betsy Poos (E-RYT 500, RPYT, YACEP) is a lifelong student of movement and mindfulness. A DC yoga teacher since 2005, she’s long been a staple of the Capitol Hill neighborhood in her past lives with Capitol Hill Yoga, CHAMPS, and Realignment Studio.
Betsy is honored to be a part of the Breathing Space Family Yoga community teaching preteens, teens and adults. Betsy is known for her warm energy and informed alignment cues. Her true magic comes in making each practice equally accessible and challenging.
Betsy holds certifications in hatha yoga, Yogahour, pre/postnatal yoga, personal training, and sports nutrition. A consummate student, she is currently completing training to be a Registered Children’s Yoga Teacher specializing in adolescents ages 11-18.
Betsy’s motivation to expand her teaching to teens has come as she’s begun navigating these waters within her own family.
“I vividly remember how completely chaotic life felt as a teenager. As I watch my first born come into her teen years, I’m so thankful I have this big yoga toolkit to pass along to her. The tools won’t make situations easy, but they quite often make the stress, anxiety and worry behind them more manageable. My drive is to share that toolkit with my kiddos, and so many more.”
Always eager to expand and create, she is an avid dreamer (and doer), reader, and writer. She also makes a point of taking time to pause and believes the best days are nap days.
Betsy lives in Washington, D.C. with her incredibly patient husband, two strong willed daughters, and lovable boston terrier.
