Betsy Afton
Betsy has received both her 200-HR and 500-HR Yoga Teacher Certifications from the Himalayan Institute and has taught yoga for over 25 years in a variety of venues including the Olean YMCA, Jamestown Community College, St. Bonaventure University, the City of Olean, and the Olean Meditation Center. She has had her own yoga business since 2000 and has taught integrated hatha yoga to hundreds of students in the western New York/Pennsylvania areas.
"My husband and I have been members of the Himalayan Institute for over 20 years and have enjoyed taking many of the various program offerings including the SAGE program and Living Tantra. Last year we were privileged to be introduced to the Vishoka Meditation technique which provided such wonderful, inspiring results that I was immediately prompted to pursue it further in order to be able to offer it not only to my current students, but to other yoga teachers and practitioners as well, as a way of promoting far greater and more fulfilling and freeing levels of personal growth that they could then pass on to their students, creating a ripple effect of peace profound and light, life and love."
