Yoga

It doesn’t matter if you’re an expert yogi or if you’re more like Yogi Bear, yoga is a practice that even the masters are always improving upon. And we can help your practice by helping you to increase flexibility, strengthen your core, improve balance, and gain a better sense of mindfulness during your poses ? all of which are the key to maintaining good physical health. The good news is you don’t have to join an expensive studio: you can do it within the comfort of your own home. It can be difficult to know which poses to do for different parts of the body or to achieve different things, without the expertise of a professional instructor. In Exercise in Action: Yoga, fitness expert Betsy Kase shows everyone how to improve ? or even begin ? their yoga practice and how to prevent injury while doing so.

- Gain a whole new awareness of your body and how to increase its performance.
- Learn how to get a full-body yoga workout without leaving your home.

Exercise in Action: Yoga provides you with everything you need to get started with your yoga practice without leaving the comfort of your own home.

Yoga Haven Founder and Director, Betsy Kase, 500-RYT, has been practicing yoga since 1991. Her personal life, at that time, along with her work in patient education and caring for those dealing with HIV, hemophilia, and fertility treatments was stressful and challenging. She found, after many years of searching, a sense of internal peace in her first yoga class. Her passion in improving quality of life is evident and her yoga teachers encouraged her to enter yoga teacher training in 1995. Three years later she began renting a small space to hold her own classes in New York – Yoga Haven was born. Since 1997, Yoga Haven has expanded significantly, offering over 75 classes a week to all levels and in January 2012, Yoga Haven 2 in Scarsdale opened its doors. She has succeeded in creating an environment where everyone can find a class or style suited to their individual needs. She lives in Tuckahoe, NY.
