After major back surgery in 2003, Barbara had to abandon her fitness routine in the gym for something gentler and more conducive to the healing process. She took her first class in 2004 and never looked back.
Barbara owned her own Yoga business, Self Awakening Yoga Studio, in Salem NH from 2009 – 2015 where she balanced a full-time day job and family while managing the day to day operations and teaching 3 classes per week at her full-service studio.
Barbara has been teaching since 2011. She is a Certified Yoga Teacher through At Om Yoga Studio in Concord NH where she received her Teaching Certificate in 2015.
Barbara’s love and passion for yoga and all it has to offer on a spiritual, physical, and emotional level are evident in her teaching style. She is very much a hands-on teacher and infuses humor in her classes.
Barbara earned her Bachelor of Science Degree from SNHU in Organizational Management and works full time as a Client Consultant helping employers choose comprehensive employee benefits.
Barbara is a budding photographer who loves being out in nature walking with her dog, Gunner, and spending time with family.
