Blissed Wellness Team Teachers:
Bhrigha Getz, LMT, RYT 200, CBT
Owner of Blissed Bodwork, LLC/Blissed Wellness
A lifelong student of movement arts, Bhrigha Getz was a professional dancer and teacher for 15 years, studied many types of dance, and became a certified teacher in Classical Pilates mat and apparatus, to help heal from car accidents. She was introduced to yoga in 2000, integrated it into her wellness self-care rituals and took many classes. Finally in 2019, she achieved her 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training certificate, then completed her certification in trauma-informed yoga with Lisa Danylchuk and Yoga 4 Trauma the same year.
A Highly Sensitive Person, Empath, and trauma survivor, Bhrigha loves to help other kindred souls find balance. Her yoga style is alignment-based, and she draws inspiration from Restorative, Yin, Iyengar, Anusara, and Forrest Yogas. She studied and taught at Melanie Neilson's Vancouver Yoga Center, the city's longest running studio. Her belief that any body can do yoga and all moves can be modified per person informs her approach to functional movement, emotional resiliency, and spiritual attunement.
After nearly 6 years in Downtown Vancouver, Bhrigha has returned home to her rural roots. She brings her anatomy nerdiness, an extensive bodywork & movement background, a passion for helping, and a little bit of magic to her practice - “where science meets woo.” She is excited to be able to share movement, yoga, self-care, and these fantastic, carefully curated teachers joining the Blissed Wellness Teaching Team with the La Center community.
We can't wait to welcome you to our studio!
Sharon Kruse PhD; Certified Mindfulness Coach
With a long career in higher education, Sharon believes that meditation is a practice and mindfulness is the result. Her philosophy is that everyone can benefit by feeling more supported, grounded, and connected to their lives by developing a meditation practice. Meditation is about learning to take time to sit with ourselves and experience what happens. It’s about slowing down and paying attention as well as creating a tool kit of practices designed to relieve stress and distress. Sharon's goal is to make meditation easy and accessible for everyone.
