Being Beka

Yoga. Cats. Lipstick. Sweat. Laugh. 🔁 Repeat 🔁

She's here. She's queer. Their foot can go behind their ear, but yours does not have to, my dear!

I first started practicing yoga in a theatre class in Chicago when I was 19. I was perplexed... but intrigued. Down dog? My hips go where? As a white girl who grew up evangelical (and slowly deconstructing at the time), it was a vulnerable way to move my body. However, I quickly fell in love with the empowering feeling I felt after yoga sessions. I felt stronger, yet stretched? I felt more connected to my body? I was able to relieve my own physical discomfort? I WANT MORE! So this queer girlie and her love for Lady Gaga found her yoga... Beka's YoGaga. And you KNOW that means fun times (and lots of cat talk) =^. .^=

I love the balance of working hard and resting fully, and I'm passionate about the empowering journey that yoga offers. Yoga has been a vital part of my own path toward healing and strength, and I enjoy helping others discover their own. My approach to yoga is as varied as my makeup! I'm trained within the Ashtanga/Vinyasa lineage influenced by Jonny Kest.

Community is powerful,

and I invite everyone to experience the challenge, fun, and calm of my Vinyasa classes — especially the rewarding feeling of simply lying back and breathing after a good sweat. I also teach restorative classes, and other formats! Outside of yoga, I love spending time with my cats, singing jazz, playing with fashion, watching anime, and playing magic the gathering.

"Rebekah’s classes were so fun yet challenging. I never thought I’d be passionate about yoga but she made me fall in love with it and I still practice it to this day. One of the most important things I learned from her is that we often show up at the mat similarly to how we show up in life. Approaching our yoga practice with frustration or doubt can give us insight into similar patterns in our daily habits. That was by far one of the most helpful ways I was able to tie in my practice with my mental health. Rebekah is warm and respectful every class and deeply demonstrates what it means to nonjudgmental and compassionate. I can only aspire to be the kind of human being she is on and off the mat."
