ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR

Bobby Bessey, B.Sc., RYT-500, RPYT, HypnoBirthing Instructor, Birth Doula CD(DONA)

Bobby Bessey, B.Sc. Psychology has been fascinated with hypnosis and deep relaxation theory ever since she took her first altered states of consciousness class as an undergrad. She was later introduced to yoga nidra at Yoga Vidya Dham ashram in Maharashtra, India. She studied in the lineage of Swami Satyananada Saraswati, who was the first to write comprehensively on this subject.

This experience ignited Bobby’s lifelong passion for yoga nidra, culminating in her personal approach that combines hypnosis theory, psychology and the traditions of yoga. She has been incorporating both long and short form yoga nidras into her hatha yoga and prenatal yoga classes for over a decade. Bobby is also a certified HypnoBirthing and HypnoMothering instructor, utilizing these same powerful techniques to enable prenatal and postnatal mothers to prepare for calm, beautiful and enjoyable birth and motherhood experiences.
