Travelling to John of God, with Bethany Miller - a podcast by Erika Belanger Yoga

ABOUT OUR GUEST

 

​​

Bethany opened Sukha Yoga to create a sanctuary in Novato where people can practice yoga, experience different healing modalities and be in spiritual community. She has been a practicing psychologist for the past 20 years, but felt isolated in private practice. In 2012, she went to visit John of God, a healer in Brazil. She received a vision to open a yoga studio and healing center. She has found the greatest joy in creating a strong and loving community of wonderful students, yoga teachers and healers who come together and share their gifts.

She offers chakra healings and crystal bed sessions at Sukha and will be taking a group to visit John of God, Fall 2018.
