BMe Yoga Instructors

Rachel Sylvester

Rachel Sylvester began practicing dance at the tender age of three and trained in LA under renowned instructor David Norwood before dancing professionally with the prestigious Atlanta Ballet at the Urban Dance Theatre. A severe ankle injury derailed a promising dance career and Rachel turned her attention to Yoga. It didn’t take long for Rachel to fall in love with Yoga and practiced the popular, yet difficult Bikram Yoga for five years. As Rachel’s knowledge and practice of Yoga grew, she discovered a more fluid and dance like form of Yoga – Vinyasa Flow which was a natural progression considering her dance background. A turning point occurred as her favorite instructor left town. Rather than allowing the small group she practiced with to die, Rachel took the initiative to teach the class herself! That unlikely turn of events sparked a new love for Rachel, the love of teaching which lead her to attain her Yoga Certification through the Asheville Yoga Center followed by the Yoga Alliance. Rachel then added a Yoga studio to her existing natural body care business and the challenge began of introducing Yoga to a small town previously unexposed to Yoga. The early classes regularly consisted of one or two people, but ever so slowly, an interest in Yoga began to grow in Murphy, NC. Again, injury would step in to Rachel’s life and alter her course of direction. This time a serious auto accident left Rachel in constant pain and searching for some relief. An introduction into a relatively new branch of Yoga, Anusara, would be exactly what she was looking for. Anusara Yoga’s focus on the healing aspect of the human body not only relieved her pain, but ignited a true desire in Rachel to help people not only move their bodies, but to do so with precise alignment for the benefit of getting faster results. Rachel engrossed herself in the practice and studied under some phenomenal teachers, namely John Friend, Gina Minyard, Joe Taft, Stacey Millner-Collins, Kelly Gardner, Sarah Faircloth, Desiree Rambaugh, Doug Keller and Martin Kirk. This was a huge commitment considering she lived more than a three hour drive from any of the above named instructors. That effort simply illustrates Rachel’s desire to provide those that practice with her the very best instruction possible. Today, Rachel’s practice consists of a strong following of beginners to those far more advanced. Rachel truly loves her time sharing the wealth of being and feeling alive. Every body is different and realizing that each body may look different in each asana, Rachel pays special attention to physiology and anatomy and believes in tapping into one’s own unique form in molding an individual feel to those attending even group classes. Now having taught over 3,600 classes and 40,000 people, Rachel exudes confidence in assisting the nervous beginner, the more advanced practitioner, people with injuries to those that yearn to deepen their knowledge and understanding of Yoga. In Rachel’s classes, one will find a compassion for their body while providing an opportunity to step out of the norm mentally, to be available for change emotionally and to experience an expanding of your heart.

Betsy Winter

As the most recent instructor to join the Blue Moon Yoga family, Betsy Winter offers an all-inclusive class that welcomes individuals from beginners to more practiced yogis. Her classes bring an integrated blend of heart-centered and alignment focused yoga. She supports students in calming the mind, balancing and strengthen- ing the body, promoting flexibility, and learning to live more fully and consciously in the present moment. Betsy is a 500 RYT hour instructor, registered with Yoga Alliance. Her experience as an instructor began in 2009, as a 200 hour instructor, ultimately progress- ing to 500 hour by 2013. She received her training in Kali Natha Yoga, a lineage yoga taught by Ma Jaya Sati Bhagavati. In 2018, she received training in Kidding Around Yoga and brought yoga to hospitalized children both individually and in groups to support reduction of stress and promote the healing process. She believes that yoga has been a strong factor in help- ing her to stay more balanced, and healthy, and to age more gracefully. She continues to support the yoga teacher training programs at Kashi Ashram as a mentor and periodically as a teacher. Betsy’s career as a healing arts professional spans over three decades, primarily in the field of early child development and neonatal care. Other healing modalities include Healing Touch, Therapeutic Touch, Reiki, and the use of the Himalayan Singing Bowls to help balance the body-mind and promote health and feelings of well-being. Formerly a licensed massage therapist who started massage therapy for pediatric patients at 2 different children’s hospitals, she now chooses to focus on yoga because the skills learned in yoga are easily incorporated into everyday life and provide so many benefits. One can expect her classes to promote stress-reduction, enhanced self-care, and greater strength and flexibility… and certainly a light-hearted and fun atmosphere.
