Beth James, founder of Barefoot and Free, is a longtime yoga teacher who has spent over a decade creating spaces rooted in connection, nature, and community. What began over 12 years ago as a yoga festival in the woods of Proud Lake, Michigan has grown into a global offering of retreats and experiences. Beth has guided hundreds of people around the world, creating environments that feel like a true yoga family where connection, exploration, and belonging naturally unfold.

Her work has evolved into intimate, heart-led spaces for women through embodiment circles, retreats, and courses. These experiences invite women to explore sensuality, release shame, and reconnect with their authentic feminine expression in a safe and supportive container. You can work with Beth through immersive retreats and programs designed to help you come back home to yourself, held in spaces that are both nurturing and deeply transformative.
