Therapeutic Yoga Practice

We are located online and also in person from Boulder, CO!

We are a center offering Therapeutic Yoga Practice. We provide a safe, tranquil, and supportive environment to explore and discover what is arising in your body and mind. We create a space where individuals can open to the possibilities of what can be.

Here you can greet your subtle body. When we discover, engage, and move with the natural rhythms and intelligence of our bodies, we begin to feel connected to our vitality, we come to peace and our mind quiets. This is an invitation, a beckoning into awareness. 

Knowing that each individual is unique and not just one approach fits all, we celebrate the uniqueness of each student. Be Center was created to support rich inquiry into the relationship of body and mind. 

De West’s Therapeutic Yoga Practice classes emphasize the internal practices; the dynamic interplay of focused awareness and receptive action supported by breath. We explore the brilliance of outer form while awakening the life force that nourishes deep layers and inner presence that reveals silence. We take great care to support individualized and healthy practices and encourage students to pay close attention to what is right for them. Frequent referrals from the medical community underscores her reputation. We invite you to join us for this exploration.

The unique Therapeutic Yoga Practice that De has developed is a movement practice that allows people of all ages and abilities to experience a positive, relaxed, and transforming experience in both body and mind. Focusing on nervous system regulation and her deep understanding of anatomy contribute to De’s passion for helping students create more peace and freedom in their bodies and minds. 

She started practicing yoga after a biking accident that left her with multiple injuries. She found ways to touch the pain in her body and to heal misalignments. Many master teachers have informed her yoga therapy practice including her over 8 years of working with osteopathic doctors in pain clinics. In 2018, she was diagnosed with late stage ovarian cancer. She has been in remission since 2019 and has been on a journey to heal through honoring her terrain and learning how to bring balanced health to her whole being. She is currently a graduate of the Terrain Advocate Training with Nasha Winters, ND, FABNO and the Metabolic Terrain Institute of Health. De believes it is of utmost importance to befriend our body and learn how to make it any ally during a medical challenge.
