Becca’s first experience with yoga came at 16, when her mom brought her to a gentle class in the basement of a church. Something clicked. She left that class knowing yoga would always be part of her life. Raised in Connecticut, later moving to NYC for college, Becca explored arts and education, but also carried the quiet weight of learning disabilities. School felt overwhelming. She battled anxiety and self-doubt from a young age, but those same challenges sparked her gift for empathy and her drive to help others feel safe in their own skin. Over the years, yoga became more than just movement, it became medicine. A place to return to. A space to rebuild. A practice that helped her remember who she is.

From Personal Healing to Community Impact

After college, Becca leaned into Power Yoga and began her first teacher training in 2008. Though she didn’t finish that one, the calling didn’t fade. In 2012, she completed her 200-hour Power Yoga Teacher Training at West Hartford Yoga and began focusing on kids. Inspired to support children of all abilities, she trained with leaders like Jodi Komitor and Sonia Sumar. As a new mother, she brought mindfulness and movement into preschools, planting the seeds for what would become The Yoga Patch, LLC.

In recent years, Becca’s teaching has grown to include adults and Yoga Sculpt, and she’s now pursuing her Peak Pilates Level 1 certification. Her signature class, PliYoga Sculpt, combines yoga postures, cardio, strength, and Pilates into one powerful practice. It’s everything she loves—mindful, energizing, and accessible.

Building The Yoga Patch

Though she had been teaching for years, 2024 was the year Becca officially launched The Yoga Patch, LLC. Instead of opening a studio, she took a mobile approach—offering yoga and mindfulness directly to schools, preschools, partner locations, and private clients. The flexibility of this model has helped her meet people where they are, both literally and energetically.

She teaches weekly in early childhood centers, leads adult classes in local studios, and has grown her reach steadily through relationships, referrals, and showing up authentically. Her PliYoga Sculpt class has helped her stand out in a crowded space, offering a full-body experience and now She’s offering yoga on the WeGym Fit App!

Lessons I've Learned

Success in yoga isn’t about numbers. It’s about connection. I’ve learned to lean into creativity, show up as myself, and protect my energy. Sustainability matters. So does community. Whether it’s teaching a toddler how to breathe through big feelings or helping an adult reconnect with their strength, the work is the same: create space for people to feel seen and supported.

My Message to Founders

Stop waiting for perfect. Start now.

Teach if you feel called. Build what you wish existed.

Let your work evolve with you. There’s space for your story. Your unique voice can’t be duplicated, don’t hold it back waiting for things to feel ready.
