About Beth

Beth Lyons has walked the path of the healing arts for more than 20 years, guided by a deep devotion to holistic and spiritual well-being. She is a certified Ayurvedic Practitioner through the National Ayurvedic Medical Association (NAMA), a licensed massage therapist, Reiki Master, and certified yoga instructor. She is currently in graduate school pursuing a master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling, integrating modern psychology with ancient wisdom traditions.

The events of 9/11 marked a profound turning point in Beth’s life, awakening her calling to yoga as a sacred path of healing and self-remembrance. Since 2001, she has been devoted to the study and practice of yoga, meditation, and yogic philosophy, drawing inspiration from the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, the teachings of Ayurveda, and the principle of svadhyaya—self-study as a doorway to liberation. In 2006, her journey led her to Kerala, India, where she immersed herself in the living lineage of Ayurveda under the guidance of Dr. Ravi.

Beth continued her studies in Hawai‘i, training in Maui with Ted Surman of Yoga Awareness and Dr. Sylvia Whelchel of Ayurveda Maui. She recently completed advanced Level II Authentic Abhyanga internship training, along with Shirodhara and Svedana studies, deepening her embodiment of seva, or selfless service, through hands-on healing.

Originally from Ohio and shaped by training in India, Hawai‘i, Thailand, and New York City, Beth offers a reverent blend of global wisdom traditions rooted in the understanding that true healing arises when body, mind, and spirit are brought into harmony. Her work is informed by Ayurvedic principles of balance among the three doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—honoring each individual’s unique constitution (prakriti) and current state of imbalance (vikriti). She currently teaches yoga and practices Ayurveda, guiding students and clients through practices grounded in ahimsa (non-harming), sattva (clarity and balance), and compassionate presence.

Beth teaches at The Bend Yoga Center and lives in Bend with her husband, Paul, and their children, Lucia (15) and Jack (13). Her life and work are a living expression of yoga as a path of awareness, devotion, and embodied wisdom.
