Betsy Totty


In 2001, Betsy graduated from Purdue University with a degree in education. She became interested in health and fitness at a meaningful level while in college; however, she did not seek formal training in the health and fitness arena until 2002. Betsy began her fitness quest by gaining certifications in group exercise formats such as PIYO (Pilates and Yoga) and Turbokick. Teaching PIYO caused her to develop a strong interest in Pilates and yoga. She began by taking a workshop here and there in addition to reading voraciously on the topics. In 2003, Betsy began training in the area of Pilates and attained several certifications. A few years later in 2007, she attended CITYOGA School of Yoga and Health where she finished her 200 hour teacher training and began her 500 hour teacher training. Though Betsy has a plethora of certifications, at the moment, she chooses to focus most of her efforts in the areas of yoga and Pilates. Betsy teaches classes in the Lafayette area, leads workshops, speaks to local organizations, and enjoys teaching people of all ages the benefits of a healthy and well-balanced life using the principles of yoga. She is commited to growth and development of the human spirit as well as learning and gaining knowledge and wisdom to become stronger in the areas of education and health.


 As a Special Education teacher in the city of Lafayette, Ms. Totty sees how health and wellness practices can be used in the area of education. She has witnessed, first-hand the calming effects of yoga on her students with special needs. Using her education background as well as her knowledge in health, wellness, and fitness, Ms. Totty plans to link her studies in the near future to bring the benefits to the schools with whom she will work.

Betsy Totty is the proud mother of a wonderful young boy. In her free time, she enjoys reading, writing, spending time with family and friends, as well as finding new and interesting ways to stay healthy!
