My Mission
I’m serious about having fun. There is a right way and wrong way to move the body in all sports. Proper body mechanics and moving with intention is crucial to evolving in any sport.
My mission and success is to cut through self doubt, proving to everyone that they can do something they never thought they could do. Once they have that taste of success, anything is possible.
Raised in NY and residing in Aspen, CO, Betty’s style of teaching is boot camp meets yoga teacher. Leaning almost into the student’s hoop she shouts out adjustments, “Suck and tuck! Pump your core! Rock your hips faster! Breathe into your space! You can do it!”
Deep in the forest, by rivers and on mountain summits are my favorite places! Being in nature connects me with my true nature. Earth, Water, Fire & Air, offer strength, grace, expansiveness and the ability to be fluid through life’s situations. I find my power & playfulness here. My passion is to share that vibration with others. Betty Hoops
