Betsy Bouffard (she/her)

STUDIO OWNER & INSTRUCTOR

Betsy’s yoga journey was on and off for years after her first class in Chicago in 1998, but became a consistent part of her life in 2018. In the midst of personal growth and change, yoga was a launching pad to the sort of life she wanted to live. Owning Heights Yoga is a dream come true for her.

Betsy received her first YTT 200 from Parallel 45 in Vancouver in the summer of 2020, and completed the Leadership Training of Y12SR (yoga of 12-step recovery) under Nikki Myers in January 2021. She is honored and grateful to hold space for all people touched by addiction. Betsy is a perpetual student of yoga and has completed ongoing certifications, including an additional YTT 200 from Mojave Yoga Collective, YTT 300 from Yoga Renew, and YTT 300 with Jason Crandell. She currently co-leads Heights Yoga YTT 200.

Betsy is happiest guiding classes and she teaches most days. Her classes are accessible and challenging and always infused with a little (or a lot) of humor. She will remember your dog’s name and your favorite pose.

Outside of yoga Betsy enjoys time with her family and traveling the world. Her daughter Nola and her nephews & niece are her favorite people. Summer in the PNW is her favorite time of year and you will likely find her on the water with her paddleboard or kayak.
