Founder & Lead Instructor
Bebe KiteBrett “Bebe” Kite, RN, C-IAYT, E-RYT 500, is a registered nurse and certified yoga therapist with nearly three decades of experience in healthcare, mindfulness, and yoga. She is the founder of Heart Shine Yoga where she offers yoga therapy and integrative wellness programs that support healing, stress management, and transformation.
Rooted in traditional Hatha Yoga through the Himalayan Institute, her work is guided by the belief that the body holds an innate wisdom and a natural capacity to move toward healing when supported through breath, embodied movement, relaxation, meditation, and healthy lifestyle practices.
Bebe spent nearly two decades working alongside Dr. Dean Ornish in the Ornish Lifestyle Medicine Program as a stress management specialist and later served as a senior faculty member, training healthcare professionals and yoga teachers in evidence-based protocols for chronic disease reversal. She has also developed mindfulness and wellness programs for schools, corporations, and community organizations nationwide and contributed to Eat Right Now, a leading mindfulness-based behavior change program. She currently serves on the International Association of Yoga Therapists (IAYT) Accreditation Program Review Committee.
Her classes are trauma-informed and therapeutic in nature, integrating conscious movement, breathing techniques, imagery, deep relaxation (yoga nidra), and meditation to support nervous system regulation, heart health, and reconnection to the body’s innate wisdom.
