Teacher Bio

Beth James

Hey Beautiful Beings

I am Beth James the founder/creator of Barefoot and Free

A long time yoga teacher (almost two decades) I started Barefoot originally as a yoga festival set in the woods in Proud Lake, Michigan. My vision was to bring people together to combine all my personal favorite healing things: yoga, nature and community! That was over 9 years ago; since then I added international and local yoga retreats. I have taken over 200 around people all around the world; retreats are like being in a mini yoga family for a week! I have lead them in Bali, Greece, Morocco, Hawaii, Mexico, Costa Rica, Sedona, Joshua Tree, Northern Michigan, Dominican Republic to name a few:)

Over the last few years, my purpose has been working with women and leading embodiment circles and women's retreats. These are super intimate experiences where we share about sex, sensuality, pleasure, our struggles with being feminine and being a woman. I now am leading feminine embodiment courses and retreats specific for women wanting to break free and truly embody their feminine essence without shame or shadows! I am a mama of two incredible daughters and we love singing, gardening, biking and doing anything creative outside. I am a huge fan of Topo Chico and pour over coffee, I love a sweaty run in the woods and talking to trees!

My dream day is spent outside somewhere warm with my man, my kiddos, and delicious food and lots of belly laughs!

Melissa Weber

Melissa's yoga teaching style has been influenced and developed through a myriad of teachers and life experiences. She strives to keep her teaching both real and fun. As she ages, she finds herself increasingly drawn to the world of Neuroscience & Yoga and has completed a Yoga Medicine 30 Hour Training with some exquisite teachers. Her next planned voyage is into Katonah Yoga.

Her intention for each practice is to create opportunities for students to develop strength, flexibility, and trust to start where they are. Yoga reunites practitioners with the present, offering a view of where they were, where they are, and who they are becoming (or unbecoming). When yoga is practiced with wonder, openness, and vulnerability, it opens a portal back to the Self. This is what keeps Melissa returning to the mat – a chance to catch a glimpse of herself and hope to stay a little longer each time.

Some may also know her as YogiStoned – her clothing brand that gives back to those in need. Like her teaching, her intention for YogiStoned is to offer yet another supportive way back to that fearless, original self.
