Like many others, Bentley’s yoga journey began as a place to stretch and strengthen her body. She quickly fell in love with the practice, as she initially was able to witness the physical benefits first-hand. Over time the less noticeable internal shifts slowly began to take shape as she dove deeper into her practice. A consistent practice over a few years culminated in a strong desire to gain more knowledge, insight, and appreciation for what the practice was giving her. In 2016, she left her full time job and completed her 200 hour yoga teacher training through Modern Yoga in Scottsdale. She has participated in a number of workshops over the past few years and in June 2017, she travelled to Koh Samet, Thailand for a week-long AcroYoga workshop with Hannah Haller and her partner. Recently, Bentley signed on as an advocate with Alo Yoga and is an Ambassador with ToeSox.
Yoga became her path to discovering her truth. It’s guidance, love, patience and sheer force paved the way to reveal who she really was. Her teachings incorporate elements of patience, understanding, and acceptance, but always includes elements of challenge. She believes that our mats are a place for continual growth and that growth finds itself in those small spaces when you question yourself, “can I do it?” Bentley strives to cultivate an environment fueled with opportunities for self-discovery. A place to come as you are and take what you need. Incorporating unique sequencing and energizing flows are her peak passion, but ultimately creating that safe space for her students just to be, carry the most value and gratitude.
