Take classes with me! 〰️

Welcome to my website! I am so glad you are here.

While my business is Rebecca Curry’s Yoga, I am known in the yoga community as Becca. I have been practicing yoga since 2008 and leading yoga/wellness classes/events in Philadelphia/virtually since 2016. My goal is to dispel the myths of yoga by making yoga available and accessible in cost, location, language, and shapes while creating a safe environment for folks to try something new. I teach from a trauma informs lens with lots of choice and reminders to tune into what you need today.

On my website you will find:

  • where I teach classes/how to access pre recorded classes

  • my qualification and experience

  • my yoga evolution and how I incorporate yoga into my everyday

  • "I'm so glad Becca is doing yoga again. She is the best teacher I ever had because she made yoga accessible to me."

    Kathy D., 65 years young with 2 knee replacements

  • “The structure of the class was really well done. All levels could participate and get a customized yoga practice. Becca's presence, warmth, and humor made this class even more delightful.”

  • “Becca’s workshop was the most wonderful combination of mental and physical rejuvenation. I’ve tried many different yoga classes and instructors over the years, and I wasn’t convinced the practice was for me until I took Becca’s class. In addition to a wonderful physical flow of movements, Becca took us through a series of mental exercises that helped me achieve a mindset of gratitude and positivity. I can’t wait to attend another workshop!”

    - Craig O., triathlete

  • "Becca is an amazing yoga instructor! After not doing yoga for 10 plus years the experience left me wanting to get back to the practice."

    Kaylin, former yogi

  • "When I attended my first yoga class with Becca, I pulled her aside before the class started to tell her about my social anxiety, which made me almost certain that I would have to leave midway through. However, her warm smile and genuine nature immediately calmed me down, and not only did I finish the entire class with her, but I also looked forward to coming back week after week. What I gained emotionally, mentally, and spiritually was equally met by gaining a friend. Outside of class, Becca is also creating positive change within her local community and I would highly recommend taking one of her classes if you want to practice yoga and be a part of a welcoming and supportive community."

    Karl, new yoga practioner

  • "I thought that the class was very accessible for all levels. Becca was funny and empathetic."

My Yoga Evolution

Evolution!

I stumbled into a Baptiste Power yoga class with my sister in 2008. It was hot, hard, & expensive. I wouldn’t have kept showing up, except it was the one place in my life where I heard words of encouragement. I moved from the Washington, D.C. suburbs to Philadelphia, PA in January of 2014 & continued taking classes at a Baptiste Power yoga studio, as that is all I knew.

I eventually went to a Vinyasa studio that changed my life - because of the people I met & the experiences I had. I worked the front desk, I practiced daily, & the studio became my home. I took Yoga Teacher training in February 2016 to deepen my understanding of yoga & to overcome my fear of public speaking. Upon graduation that June, I taught a weekly class & really liked holding space for folks to explore their bodies through movement & breathwork.

I taught everywhere & anywhere for anyone who would let me. I connected to two local organizations that were bringing yoga where it hasn’t been offered before & I fell madly in love with their approach. Since then, I have been teaching yoga mostly outside of yoga studios all over Philadelphia county. My goal has always been to make yoga available & accessible to anyone who is interested. Additionally, I share these practices to encourage others to show up as their best self for themself & for their community.

My personal practice has evolved over the years to be less of a workout & more of a compliment to my running & lifestyle. I have a daily yoga & meditation practice that grounds me amongst the constant chaos that is the world we live in today & to keep me healthy for my work in public health.

More about me: I have a background in Criminal Justice and Criminal Defense and currently work in Public Health. I am also an endurance athlete and community builder. In my free time, I use my skills to fundraise for local, national, and international nonprofits.

I look forward to connecting!

Thank you to my yoga mentors who taught me formally & informally over the years. I would not be the teacher I am today without you.
