Meet De West ✨
De West, C-IAYT, E-RYT, is a Certified Yoga Therapist, Trauma-Informed Yoga Therapist, and the founder of Be Center in Boulder, Colorado. With over 34 years of dedicated practice and teaching, De has developed a unique approach that combines yoga therapy with functional movement principles to support each individual body with care and intention.
Her journey into yoga therapy was deeply personal. After experiencing a serious biking accident that led to chronic pain, De discovered firsthand how therapeutic yoga could restore movement, function, and vitality when other approaches fell short. That experience became the foundation of her philosophy: healing begins when we stop forcing and start listening.
For over eight years, De worked alongside medical professionals in pain clinics, helping bridge the connection between mindful movement and integrative healing. Today, through Be Center, she continues to guide people back to themselves through gentle, nervous-system-informed movement that supports strength, ease, and connection.
Whether through live classes, private sessions, retreats, or workshops, her mission remains the same: helping people come home to their bodies with awareness and compassion.
