Barbara's journey with yoga began as a quest for a healthier lifestyle, seeking relief from stress and anxiety. Introduced to yoga in her mid-20s, it quickly evolved from a regular practice into a profound passion, spurring her desire for deeper knowledge.
In 2020, she embarked on her yoga teaching path by enrolling in the 60-hour Yin yoga Teacher Training at Sampoorna Yoga. This training laid the foundation for her exploration into the restorative aspects of yoga. Building upon this, earlier in 2023, Barbara pursued further learning at Vikasa Academy, completing her 200-hour Hatha yoga Teacher Training. This comprehensive training expanded her expertise, enriching her teaching repertoire.
Barbara's classes mirror her spirit - they are challenging, intense, and warm, fostering depth in practice. Her instructions are clear and detailed, emphasizing precise body alignment. At times, the class may be quiet, allowing for deeper introspection, reflecting her passion for inner connection.
With a holistic approach, Barbara seamlessly integrates energy work, traditional yoga practices like asana, pranayama, kriya, meditation, and mantra into her sessions. Her goal is to create a space where students can expand their individual and collective consciousness, find moments of stillness and well-being, and embrace inner peace.
For Barbara, yoga is a deeply personal journey, a unique practice for each individual. She deeply respects this individuality, and with gratitude, she offers a supportive space to guide students through their breath, body, and mind, enabling expansion, acceptance, and release. Barbara's classes typically span 60 to 90 minutes. Her sessions are an invitation to explore one's own experience of yoga, nurturing a path towards personal growth and harmony.
