Beth Parish
​Beth Parish started practicing Christ-centered yoga ten years ago when she was pregnant with the first of her four boys. She instantly fell in love, using mediation on God’s word and stillness in her final resting posture in her daily quiet time. She knew that she wanted to share it with others, so she became a certified Yoga Faith teacher. Knowing how much moms pour into their families, Beth is passionate about teaching moms specifically. She understands how hard it is to find time to sow in to your spiritual, mental, physical and emotional well-being and is glad to create a space without to do lists and tantrums, where moms are encouraged and focused in on the Lord.
