About Shamani Yoga

Meditation ~ Movement ~ Breath ~ Self-reflection

Shamani Yoga creates tranquility of the body and mind through fluid asana classes that weave meditation, breath, and self-awareness into every moment and movement. Master teachers Betsy Ceva and Charlene Bradin believe in a well-rounded physical practice that also incorporates the wisdom of traditional yoga philosophy. Betsy and Charlene founded Shamani Yoga following the loss of Birchwood Center, their well-known yoga and massage studio in Nyack NY to the Covid19 pandemic. Shamani (meaning to create a tranquil mind) unites their strengths and talents to share the essence of yoga for peace and transformation and to enable a deeper understanding of one’s true Self. Shamani Yoga offers a weekly schedule of online and in-person group yoga classes, private and semi-private yoga sessions, online yoga workshops and special events, life coaching via phone or Zoom, and massage therapy.

Betsy’s life-long experience as a modern dancer, choreographer, and dance instructor has shaped her unique style of yoga. Her classes have been described as magic, with expertly crafted sequencing that builds from the first pose to the ultimate letting go. Betsy has taught yoga to all levels since 1992.

Charlene Bradin, E-RYT200Charlene Bradin, RYT 200, grew up in Rockland County, NY where she still resides. As a teenager she began working in her family’s retail business and stayed for 14 years.

During these challenging times, nothing has nourished my body, mind and spirit more than getting on my yoga mat and practicing with Charlene and Betsy. Their classes are very creative and perfectly balanced, and I always feel the passion and energy they bring to each one.
