⭐ What inspires you to teach yoga?
My passion for Iyengar yoga and yoga philosophy notwithstanding, I am inspired by my students and LOVE when they share about their growing awareness and progress in their practice. Bringing folks together into a community of learners is very satisfying.

⭐ Is there a mantra or philosophy that resonates with you and/or with your practice?
"May I not be held back by what I think I know." Humility in my practice helps keep my mind open to learning and finding new awareness.

⭐ If one has only 5 minutes to practice, what poses would you recommend?
Oooh...That's a tough one...Depends on how you’re feeling, but I would try Supta Padangusthasana Series (Reclined Holding the Big Toe Poses) followed by Adho Mukha Svanasana (Downard Facing Dog Pose) with the head supported could be a nice opening into the day or a way to wind down after an overly busy day.

⭐ Do you have any yoga book recommendations?
This is the book! Light On Life by BKS Iyengar; there is always something new to glean from repeated readings.

⭐ How do you like to spend time outside of the studio?
I am an avid hiker, love travelling, cooking for my family and friends, attending theater and dance performances, and reading and discussing books.

⭐ Anything else you want to share?
I am an unabashed anatomy geek!

Say “Hello” to Ben! 👋 We’re so excited to officially welcome him to the Artemis team as our new regular Sunday teacher, leading Flow at 9:30am each week!

After subbing classes with us, Ben is officially joining our weekly schedule, with his first class happening this weekend. We can’t wait for you to get to know him and experience his class! Please learn a little more about Ben in the teacher spotlight below.

⭐ What inspires you to teach yoga?
I enjoy giving my students an excuse to unplug from the craziness of everyday life for a little while and pay closer attention to themselves.

⭐ Is there a mantra or philosophy that resonates with you and/or with your practice?
If you stumble, just make it part of your dance.

⭐ What is your favorite yoga pose?
It changes constantly! Right now I love a good seated twist.

⭐ If I only have 5 minutes to practice, what poses would you recommend?
Any combination of cat/cow, downward facing dog, lunges, at least one standing balance
pose, a couple backbends, pigeon, and a seated twist.

⭐ Do you have any yoga book recommendations?
Check out "From Punk to Monk" by Raghunath, a longtime friend and yoga teacher with a
fascinating story and outlook.

⭐ How do you like to spend time outside of the studio?
I really enjoy visiting new places, DIY home improvement projects, and weight training.

⭐ Anything else you want to share? Feel free to add any other questions/answers
We have 3 cats and 3 dogs and /'m obsessed with my 4 lb. Chihuahua, her name is Sybil.

Say “Hello” to Hilary Bent-Mullings! She’s joining Artemis in a regular weekly Flow class on Fridays at 9:30am. We’re so happy to have Hillary with us after subbing regularly and we can’t wait for you to take classes with her, which start on Friday, September 4, 2026. Please learn a bit more about Hilary in the spotlight below:

⭐What inspires me to teach yoga?
At its heart, teaching yoga is about connection and community (sangha). I'm deeply inspired by the ancient wisdom behind the practice—it gives us all an endless path to grow physically, mentally, and spiritually. Teaching is truly a reciprocal gift: no matter what kind of day I'm having, I always leave class feeling more grounded, peaceful, and energized than when I arrived. I love my students! It's also been my gateway into so many other wonderful health and healing modalities, from Ayurveda to Qigong and sound therapy.

⭐What mantra or philosophy resonates most with your practice?
"The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others."
— Mahatma Gandhi

⭐If you only have 5 minutes to practice, what would you recommend?
If you only have five minutes, I recommend Nadi Shodhana Pranayama (alternate nostril breathing). It's a powerful breathwork practice that calms the nervous system and balances the right and left hemispheres of the brain. You can practice it in any comfortable seated position with an upright spine. Sometimes, the single most transformative thing we can do on a busy day is to pause, take a few mindful breaths, and allow the mind to quiet down.

⭐How do you like to spend time outside the studio?
Outside the studio, you'll usually find me hiking with my dog, Nacho, volunteering in hospice, painting and quilting, practicing Qigong, or writing my first book!

⭐Book recommendations?
Anything by Thich Nhat Hanh—his writings on mindfulness, presence, and peace are timeless entry points for any practitioner.

⭐Favorite Yoga Pose?

Viparita Karani (legs up the wall)

If you've got questions, we're here to help! Artemis Yoga owner, Liz Padula, can be found behind the scenes and in the front of a classroom teaching too. If you see Liz around, please introduce yourself, especially if you haven't met yet! During the transition from summer to fall we know that routines change, new faces are in the studio and it takes a moment to find the new rhythm. With over 40 classes a week, Artemis Yoga is a busy place and we want you to feel welcomed and comfortable. Please ask about our schedule, classes or even how to fold a blanket. And yes, did you know we have a water fountain down the main hall? Liz and the entire team at Artemis Yoga look forward to saying "hi" this fall. 🍂

PS. Shout out to Camryn for her amazing marketing and direction on this fun reel!

BKS Iyengar wrote in Light on Life that “the essence of nature is change.” Certainly the shifting sands of a Cape Cod beach remind us that we, too, are always in transition. This is especially true when the summer starts to wane and new fall routines come into view. What gets left behind? What are we looking forward to? Will the instability of this liminal space bring transformation?

Certainly a warrior 2 pose on a beach is a metaphor that instability can also be accompanied by steadiness. Each day, each season, is an opportunity to shed that which is holding us back and cultivate that which brings us stability to forge ahead.

There is no getting around that the August to September time is not only a rite of passage but also a time of disruption. It is ok to be weary and to take rest. It is ok to pause, breathe, and look at the horizon. You will make your way.
