Having experienced the healing benefit of Iyengar yoga and mindfulness firsthand – and eager to help others suffering from health challenges – Beth became a member of the UCLA Pediatric Pain Program clinical team and Whole Child LA where she taught mindfulness, loving-kindness, and yoga to children and young adults with chronic health problems in an integrative medical setting.
