About
Becca Schmidt, E-RYT-500/ YACEP
Becca experienced her very first yoga class in 1998 in an old re-purposed schoolhouse in Gotha, Florida. From that very first experience, she was awestruck by the power of yoga while holding an excessively long Warrior Two pose! She had never felt such a strong internal fire and mental challenge. Since her first class, Becca was a student in hundreds of yoga classes. Then, in 2003, she enrolled in her first yoga teacher training program at the Southwest Institute of Healing Arts (SWIHA) in Tempe, Arizona. Becca moved to Orlando, Florida in 2005 and established her brand, Blue Moon Yoga.
Becca has more than 1,000 hours of teacher training and has taught nearly 10,000 classes as Blue Moon Yoga and also as a contract yoga instructor for YMCA, Crosby Wellness Center, Florida Hospital, and Warrior One Yoga. She has had many mentors along her career path, and now offers coaching to newer yoga instructors who want to gain confidence, use creative language and shine brighter for their students.
In 2024, Becca launched a podcast for yoga instructors called, "The Language of Yoga," where she continues to share her knowledge and passion for teaching yoga.
The free program is available on both Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

Mission
"Everyone who rolls out a yoga mat has their own story. I don't try to presume I know what motivates you to practice. My priority is to create a safe and welcoming space where you can rediscover your strengths and continue to become the amazing person within."
