Barbara has enjoyed a long career in finance and accounting, spending the last 10 as a financial executive within the managed healthcare industry. She has always had an appreciation of the importance of fitness and nutrition to overall wellness, and is acutely aware of the impact of stress on one’s health and good intentions.

While working in an extremely stressful environment, Barbara began a very basic lunch time yoga program, and was immediately struck by the favorable impact it had on the rest of her day – feeling more calm, less overwhelmed, and capable of taking on the rest of the day’s challenges. Her commitment to yoga and desire to bring those benefits to others was formed.

Barbara’s goal as a teacher is to help students realize possibilities that may at first seem out of reach, and help them discover their own path to achieving them. With conscientious focus on breathing and clearing the cluttered mind, Barbara feels that a yoga practice can create meditation in motion and help students cross their own physical and emotional barriers.
