Paxson, LMT
Beth is a licensed massage therapist with a focus in Western
structure/function and Eastern movement arts. A committed
athlete, Beth has spent the last several years studying
Iyengar yoga with Julie Gudmestad, learning how to integrate
yoga into her athletic training program.
Beth
was first introduced to Julie in 1998 when she began experiencing
pain in her feet. As an athlete, Beth had always incorporated
stretching into her training regimen, but had never practiced
yoga. After Julie helped Beth successfully overcome her
injury, Beth wanted to become more involved in the practice
of yoga. She began taking classes with Julie, subsequently
joining Julie's teaching program as a way to take her
yoga practice to a deeper level.
A
former Olympic Nordic skier with a passion for movement,
athletics and the outdoors, Beth enjoys coaching and teaching
technical skills in her sport whenever the opportunity
arises. Currently an avid marathon runner and cyclist,
Beth blends her athletic/artistic background and knowledge
of anatomy, kinesiology and bodywork with her yoga teaching,
helping her students to develop and integrate keen body
awareness into their daily lives and activities.
