Why I Love Restorative Yoga

As a yoga teacher for over 20 years, I've seen the power of giving people tools for how to slow down and turn inward. In today's fast-paced world, we are constantly bombarded with stress and stimulation, which takes a toll on our mental and physical health....

Yoga Beyond the Body: Why Connection and Inner Wellbeing Matter Most

Yoga Beyond the Body: Why Connection and Inner Wellbeing Matter Most

Many people look at pictures of (mostly) women in yoga poses and their first thought is “I can’t do that”. This makes me sad and a bit frustrated. The true purpose of yoga has nothing to do with the body's capacity to stretch or bend or balance. It has nothing to do...

Choosing A Quiet Mind

Choosing A Quiet Mind

This is a noisy time in our world. The volume in our conversations is high, the energy intense. Strong opinions abound. It is easy to get plugged in and stay plugged in as events are unfolding at an unprecedented pace. An agitated mind is not necessarily a productive...

Welcome to Barbara's Blog

As a seasoned yoga and meditation teacher with over 25 years of experience, I am still passionate about sharing these ancient practices and how they can help us navigate gracefully through modern times and challenges. I’m certified in the Svaroopa® style of yoga at the 500-hour level and as a meditation guide through the Master Yoga Academy, and have led numerous classes and retreats both in person and online. My desire to show people how to manage stress and be comfortable in their bodies is the foundation of what I offer.

I believe that yoga is much more than just a physical practice- it is a doorway into a journey of self-nurturing and self-discovery. For most of us, that journey begins by working with the body you have today and learning how to care for it in a whole new way. If you are struggling with serious health issues- persistent back pain, cancer, nervous system issues or whatever- you will find that I teach a gentle style that most anyone can do. Through this blog, I intend to explore the transformative power of the many lasting benefits that yoga traditions offer.
