The Art of Balance - Yoga and Massage

I love yoga with Bettina who embraces life, reminds us to keep having fun, be kind to each other and love ourselves. Bettina gives me a huge dose of positivity to fill my soul.

Always leave not only feeling invigorated, stretched and peaceful, but little gems of inspirational words to take into the day to stretch the mind and nurture the heart.love my time there.

At the beginning of 2020 I was looking for a yin yoga class and was blessed to find Bettina. After only a few classes the world changed and a lot of our interaction was via zoom. However, her joy, enthusiasm and care were just as evident in this medium, and to have this space during such a challenging time was gold!
Later that year. Bettina started early morning meditations, which she continues to run. She has an amazing gift, guiding without instructing, allowing growth, realisation, change & acceptance. She calls it - inner work and it is. I have found an inner confidence, a more easeful, peaceful way of being and so much more joy. I rediscovered my love of writing, joined a writers group and contributed a story to a published anthology.
I continue to practice yoga and meditation with Bettina because, as she says -every time is different - and every time you learn or receive something different from your practice. It is my gift to myself.
Bettina’s studio is a sanctuary and she is just a beautiful human. You cannot help but feel comfortable in her presence.

Bettina creates safe, professional space to relax and connect with my body. Her reflexology work is intuitive and profound, and I feel it directly connects with what my body needs and moves the energy through. Not all reflexologists have the gift of being able to destress the body like Bettina. Treat yourself to the gift!

Today I have had the great pleasure of meeting Bettina from The Art of Balance -Yoga and Massage. My booking was for a one hour massage. I have to say that the meeting with Bettina and the hour that ensued, was a magical experience. Her awesome expertise in the art of massage was evident from the first contact. Bettina was not just massaging my body, she was very much in tune with how I was feeling emotionally and spiritually whilst giving my body the care that it needed. This was not an ordinary massage experience, it was very nourishing for BOTH my body and soul. Thank you for our time and magic shared. Namaste.

For the past 6 years I have treasured my yoga practice with Bettina. Even when my shoulder injury limited my classes for some time, Bettina’s wonderful massage treatments, reflexology and other modalities facilitated gentle healing within a safe and beautiful space.

Furthermore, due to her ongoing quest to help her yoga community, Bettina is now offering Counselling as her Life Coaching studies continue.

I’ve learned my chronic pain is largely tied to trapped energy due to trauma and I had a rather awe inspiring counselling session with Bettina. She coached me through the uncomfortable and frankly quite emotional painful memories. (In the past I’ve been treated with the anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medication, which obviously just mask the symptoms.) With the help of Bettina’s gentle, open nature, she introduced a new coping mechanism for me through tapping (EFT) allowing the trapped energy to be released thereby actually giving me immediate relief. This was unprecedented for me as I have been in and out of therapy since my mid teens, to little or no avail. I can now use this technique any time, which is incredible for me going forward.

Bettina’s level of professionalism and care, coupled with her boundless, bright energy and constant attention and affection for her clients is amazing. Over the years she has been an inspiration to me that the body, mind and spirit together have boundless potential for self healing and recovery - given the correct nurturing environment.

Thank you Bettina for all you are and all the energy you put into helping, not only me but your entire community. We are so fortunate to have you.

Bettina is such a positive person who shares her energy freely with everyone around her. She is extremely knowledgeable in her practise and a great teacher.

When I found Bettina’s studio, I had been out of my yoga practise for a couple of years. Although I have practised yoga for many years in many different studios, it was refreshing to find Bettina. Everything about her space and teaching is authentic and full of joy. She will always welcome you with a bright smile and open heart, and always makes time for conversation and connection within the group. Bettina gives 100% to every student and will guide you to practise safely and challenge your body awareness. Finding Bettina’s cute and homely studio has made my move to Frankston South that bit more special and I feel blessed to have found her. Namaste

Bettina lives and breathes yoga life, and so generously shares space and deep knowledge with her community. Her classes are everything you would hope for from beginner to advanced, young to younger… Philosophy is woven through her classes which is so relatable to modern life off the mat. I’m so grateful to have walked through these studio doors… and the view of nature outside the studio is a beautiful bonus. 10 out of 10 recommend.

Bettina is such a beautiful person, her energy and wealth of knowledge make each class such a special time. Bettina has created a community within her studio. Unlike other studios where you look at someone’s back, here we face each other and we create a connection and community!

Bettina is a true energetic master. Her classes are suitable for both the beginning student and seasoned yogis or yoginis. I’ve been practicing with Bettina for a number of years now and cannot rate this studio and it’s community-minded approach highly enough! Namaste Art of Balance. ️‍️

I have a martial arts background, so receiving clear communication on form & the culture from Bettina is something I love to submerge myself in. She runs very professional lessons with variations where possible and I wish her nothing but the very best for her future.

I have been attending classes with Bettina for about 5 years now.
She is the kindest, most intuitive and caring teacher who delivers sessions for all abilities and Bettina encourages each individual to work within their own boundaries. I love that you are never pushed to compete with others, but gently encouraged to push within your own capabilities.
Bettina’s classes are incredibly nurturing and I always leave feeling wonderful.
I couldn’t recommend her more highly and think the absolute world of her and am so incredibly grateful she came into my life. ️

My husband and I started coming to the art of balance yoga about a year ago. We love it! There is no pressure on coming to class, you just come when you can. Fellow practitioners are very welcoming and fun. Also, you can come in your trackkies if you like and no one judges you. Bettina (the instructor) is lovely and not only guides you in yoga but also on how to be more kind to yourself. The concept of 'no expectations' has been invaluable to me in my day to day life. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this class to anyone looking to practice yoga.

Love the yoga space in the back of the house, so cute and welcoming, so colorful and so easy going with the memberships.thanks

Terrible communicator. Basically does not reply to texts. Thus I never even got to make an appointment! Odd way of doing business

Flexible movement at my own level, excellent teacher welcoming all ages, sizes and experiences and supporting our individual journeys.

I have been practicing yoga with Bettina at The Art of Balance for close to two years and I have never felt better in my life; physically, emotionally and spiritually.
